Wendel fumble, Sproles taken out the game

[Irvin88_4life]

Weird title but I hear tons of talk about why Wendel Smallwood came in with no touches in the game in the 4th quarter to run the ball and saying that was a mistake on Peterson. Here is my take and hope to see what you guys think.

Sproles isn't an every down back and it seem like eagles was riding him. He seem to get wore down and really don't remember seeing him much late in the game. A few times, especially a Sean Lee hit it looked like Sproles got up slow. Was it possible Wendel came in because of this? Does anyone remember seeing Sproles late in the game?

Eagles tried their best to turn Sproles into a feature back last night. Maybe it backfired. Where was Ryan Matthews?

They lost confidence in Matthews due to his fumbling issues.

You gotta love the irony.

I remember Sproles pretty much taking himself out after the heat seeking missile known as Wilcox hit him.

I think Dallas defense has shown to make crucial turn overs in the right spot. Think GB with the Rodgers goal line fumble. Doesn't surprise me that Wendel or any other back would have fumbled. It was coming soon and Sproles took a beating

well and the fact he's just not that good. that doesn't help his cause.

He did look shaky getting up. Concussion protocol?

You might be right, there.

That was impressive. Lining up and striking an elusive target flush like Sproles in the open field is extremely difficult. If that play happens earlier in the game perhaps Sproles never gets going.
