Yeah. you just proved my point. Even when younger he never made it through an entire season.

Also, I'm not sure he can be as productive in a system that focuses more on the run (or at least doesn't pass 70% of the time like with Reid).

He was often the Eagles most productive receiver.

Since 04 I'm sure Westbrook and CP are close to the amount of games they've played. I'd rather have Westbrook and give him 5-10 carries and use him more out of the backfield. Kinda like NE uses Faulk. Let Parker and LJ get the rest of the carries.

I think Portis and LJ will have a very productive season.

Westbrooks, I'll pass.

He brings a dynamic which we don't necessarily already have as far as a back very well known for his ability to come out of the backfield to receive. Not saying that we need the guy, but if it works out that we end up with him at this time or later I'm sure that Shanahan would love to design some stuff around him.

Think if we picked him up we would now have the two Eagles responsible for most of our losses to them over the past 7 or so years.

^^agreed on that point.

I think that Brian Westbrook would be a much better third down back than Albert Haynesworth would be.

We're playing Haynesworth at free safety, anyway.

And McNabb at TE. Our new starting QB is actually Ethan Albright. Orakpo is the new kicker and Kemo is the new punter.

'Rak can probably kick the ball further than some of the kickers we've had...namely Suisham.

Chris Russell said that Bruce Allen and he were already scheduled to talk at an area high school, so it's probably just a matter of convenience that they're talking now, as they could've met up at any other point withing the past couple of months.

Big C · 05-11-2010, 06:08 PM

might be useful as a 3rd down back for screens, but nothing else at this point

Whatever the FO thinks is best I'm for, competition is a beautiful thing, he's had a few concussions thou.

HTTR.

I agree with Skinsnut. In for a penny In for a pound. Plus I really wouldnt mind socking it to Philly with a couple of players they released "1 year sooner rather than later". I hate their FO and the praise they get for being absolutely uncaring about player loyalty, and if we could take them for a year and run it up their a** I would be ok with that.

PS I am not saying you don't take age into account, just that some players deserve a little loyalty (ie dawkins/westbrook/heck even McNabb)
