 | Eagles Get Another Dirty Win November 19, 2007 at 10:29am in news |
The Philadelphia Eagles yesterday picked up their 5th win and are now .500 but man was their win dirty. The squeaked by with a 17-7 victory over the Miami Dolphins, largely in part to Westbrook's 32 carries. McNabb went down in the 2nd quarter with a sprained ankle to be replaced by AJ Feeley who was efficient completing 13 for 19 for 116yds, 1 touchdown, and 1 interception. McNabb was 3 for 11 with no touchdowns and 2 interceptions. But in the 2nd half, Westbrook was given the ball and had his share of amazing plays going for 148 yards rushing. This leads me to my point...why are the Eagles not giving Westbrook the ball to start? They only seem to use Westbrook when McNabb goes down. They did it last season and they did it again yesterday. Westbrook is the biggest threat on the Eagles offense. Plain and simple. Start using him, and the opposing defense will start to focus more on Westbrook leaving the other receivers and tailbacks more open for big plays. They did it 3 years ago when T.O. was on the team. Pinkston and the others did well because defenders were too busy focusing on T.O. to cover others as well. Simply put, no matter who's QB for the Eagles, be it Feeley, McNabb, or even Kolb, GIVE BRIAN WESTBROOK THE BALL. Westbrook is amazing...he's elusive, fast, and a multi-pronged threat. He can do things on his own, and he can open up plays towards other players on the team. I'm not even gonna bother talking about the QB situation. Tags: sports, football, thoughts
