Ryan Mathews was great for part of the 2015 season. Things aren’t going as well this year. He was injured this summer and hasn’t been 100 percent this season. He has been the least dynamic RB for the Eagles this year.
Ryan Mathews has just 2 runs of 10 yards or more in 44 carries. Eagles' other 3 RBs — Sproles, Barner, Smallwood — have 12 in 58 carries.

Circumstances play a part in that, but the tape shows he isn’t in top form.

That’s not ideal running.
The coaches are sticking with him for now. Mathews late fumble and mediocre numbers could cause them to re-think that if he doesn’t get better.
