Eagles Brian Westbrooks Leaves w/Concussion

[The Goat]

Anyone else sorta think CP should be held out a bit longer? Concussions are funky and can reoccur on a "lesser" impact from what I understand. I say the staff ought to keep Portis out a couple more weeks...

For health reasons, I don't think Portis should touch the field until Week 14 in Oakland at the earliest.

For football reasons, I don't have the slightest idea why we'd want him out there, at least until the New Orleans game when his pass blocking could decide the game. But boy, the way Quentin Ganther was just leveling guys out there, that's no longer really a major concern anymore.

I swore I thought it was CP in there with the way blocked on that one pickup

I don't get why it is so hard for guys like Betts and Mason to do this. It just takes effort. CP is a beast at it and the new guy was just as good. Just go out there and blow people up. Doesn't seem that hard.

Yes, I think CP should sit longer for the reason you mentioned, as well because our running game seems to improve with Portis in street clothes.
