In another questionable move by the Eagles’ front office, running back Ron Dayne will come in for a visit to discuss the possibility of become the team’s number two running back behind Brian Westbrook.

Many people view the 29 year-old, who was taken with the 11th overall pick by the Giants in 2000, as a complete bust who has never lived up to expectations. Actually, that’s the way Iview him. With that said, Dayne might actually be a decent fit for the Eagles, who will likely call on him for six to ten carries a game.

Last year, in only 11 games with Houston, Dayne 612 yards on 151 carries, for an average of 4.1 yards per carry. When you consider that he was running behind an absolutely awful Texans offensive line, those numbers begin to look pretty good.

The key with Dayne is understanding that he is not a push the pile type of back despite his stout 5′10”, 245 lb. frame. He is a little bit more of a shifty runner than people would anticipate him to be.

Given the choice between Dayne and Eagles free agent Correll Buckhalter, who has missed three of the past five seasons with knee injuries and was only OK in his return last season.

Of course, Corey Dillon still remains on the market, but the likelihood is that he will command more money and be less likely to embrace the roll of backup runningback. He is also three years older than Dayne.

It certainly isn’t Deuce McAllister and Reggie Bush, but Brian Westbrook and Ron Dayne could form a nice one-two punch.
