Strategy on stopping Westbrook

JoeRedskin · 12-06-2004, 05:55 PM

When was the last time Philly was really challenged and won this season? I mean down to the wire 4 quarters? Seems like other than the Pittsburg loss their games have been blowouts lately. (I know our game was a lot closer for most of the game. but the bottom line was that on the scoreboard it was a blowout.)

Just curious.

The way to stop Westbrook is this, you have to punish him everytime he has the ball he is not a durable runner if you get your hand's on him hold him up so other's can come in and really lay into him, that IMO is how to slow him down.

They beat Clevleand in OT. Pittsburgh beat them, other than that, I think we came the closest to any team.

Our big concern will be with T.O., since we'll need two defenders on him most of the time. I'm not trying to discredit Shawn Springs (he has been awesome this year), but we need an extra defender, probably Clark, helping cover him. Beyond that, Smoot can cover Pinkston and any of our linebackers can cover the Beagles' TE. That leaves us with seven defenders. We could use probably use either Taylor or Marcus Washington to spy on Westbrook and send everybody else blitzing. Of course everything will change when they bring in three receiver or two TE formations. Just some wild speculation on my part. :confused:
