Dillon has not been doing that good as of late. It's somewhat troubling because now he is opposite a very good passing game and cannot run for his big yardage.
Staley is not reliable enough to be a feature back. I also question his desire, seeing as though he didn't come back in shape to Eagles training camp. Yes, he held out, but he could have gotten in shape, it has been the only thing holding him back.
When I read this, the answer popped into my head immediately and Dude stole it, Darren Sproles. He's fast as in Barry Sanders fast, can take a lot of punishment, can find the holes, and is so small he can fit through more holes than anyone else can. While Parcells doesn't usually like small backs, he has used them a lot throughout his career (Curtis Martin, David Meggett, etc.)

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
