He should quickly establish himself for the #2 spot as Darren Sproles isn't going to be taking away from what KB can do. IIRC he's also been training with some of the same people as Shady McCoy this summer

Carolina has a deep RB stable with a couple of new guys that are getting high praise. It doesn't shock me that he left there, and it's good to see that he landed with a coach that knows what he can do.

maybe chip will steal a page from his Oregon days and switch KB to DB.

Awesome, here's Philly's RB roster:
Barner, Kenjon RB 5-9 185 25 2 Oregon
Josey, Henry RB 5-8 194 22 R Missouri
McCoy, LeSean RB 5-11 208 26 6 Pittsburgh
Polk, Chris RB 5-11 222 24 3 Washington
Sproles, Darren RB 5-6 190 31 10 Kansas State
Tucker, Matthew RB 6-1 227 23 2 TCU

Sproles and Barner do KRing?

I like the optimism, but I won't be shocked if he's cut. He's just not physical enough for the NFL.

He won't be cut this year because the Eagles just traded a 7th rounder for him. He's likely the 3rd RB on the depth chart.

KB had some great moments as a Duck, but I never once thought of him as a significant NFL player. I've always pictured him out of the league after 5-6 seasons at most.

That's a conditional 7th round pick, so he may still get cut. He had some okay moments last night, as well as a couple bad ones. If it's a close call between him and another back he'll likely have a "leg up" (couldn't resist)

due to Chip's loyalty and him obviously liking to surround himself with Oregon players. It seems to be a comfort zone for him.

We'll know after next week.

The article I read really made no bones about it. He was only brought in because of injuries to 2 of their runningbacks. I don't see him sticking once those guys heal up.

KB wouldn't have been traded for if Chris Polk's hammy was ok because he was the guy they were expecting to take over the #2 spot even with Sproles in the mix. That Polk has yet to practice in TC means they are not settled with the backups just yet and once you add in McCoy's toe and thumb issues, Philly needs another RB and they didn't believe that guy was on the roster. Matthew Tucker had his best game last night but I wouldn't read too much into Barner's limited play just yet and his stat line wasn't bad. Sure, he's not starting caliber right now but I wouldn't use Carolina's zone rushing scheme to say that Barner can't be effective in Philly's zone scheme either.

LeSean is one of the league's Top 3 backs so nobody is expecting KB to win the job but he wouldn't have been traded for (even with the condition that if he gets cut the 7th rounder goes away) at this point in preseason if he wasn't very likely to make the roster at this stage, imo. I think they'll keep 4 with McCoy, Sproles, Barner and an injured Polk who if he gets put on a PUP list might allow for Tucker to make the roster initially.
