Don't let Philly area Reid haters scare you into thinking that Reid will waste Charles' talent. The myth that Reid won't run the ball is simply untrue. If you look up the stats, Andy Reid's Eagles run the ball to within one or two percentage points of the league average every year and have always had RBs (LeSean McCoy, Brian Westbrook and Duce Staley) ranked near the league leaders.
Charles is lightening quick with good hands. Reid will be brilliant at playing chess with the opposing defensive coordinator, moving Charles around the field and creating mismatches in the passing game. They go into nickel, then he'll give it to Charles who will have one less LB to contend with. They go into base, he'll move him all over the place and get him isolated on a safety or LB who will be a physical mismatch and Reid will know how to exploit it. You guys will put up some big numbers this year. Just need a QB, as you all already know.
