Rush mats coming back deep woven (8)
I believe the answer is:
stampede
'rush' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'mats coming back deep woven' is the wordplay.
'coming back' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'woven' indicates anagramming the letters.
'mats' written backwards gives 'stam'.
'deep' anagrammed gives 'pede'.
'stam'+'pede'='STAMPEDE'
(Other definitions for stampede that I've seen before include "Neat rush" , "Rampage" , "Sudden rush of people" , "Panicky run" , "Sudden mad rush" .)
