If it was TO saying he needed the ball more, it would be crying

it would be because TO gets balls thrown his way more than anyone since don baylor...

Thats a good one.

Up 'till now, Bwest hasn't done much when he's had the ball, be it 'cause of blocking or whatever. I didn't like it much when TO went public with his so called problems, and when any player does it through a newpaper, to me it's whining. What purpose does it serve?

It looks like the offensive line is off the hook with this quote from Westy:

. ``We should be able to run the ball with the quality offensive line we have."

He also removed that Westbitch couldn't hold Tomlinson's jock. While true, I'm willing to argue that neither could 95.8% of all the RBs in the WORLD.

The percentage is closer to 98.5%. Maybe higher.

Besides being all over Eli's jock as usual and giving mad props to the Eagles D, Peter King had this interesting nugget in today's MMQ column (cnnsi.com):

QuoteI think Brian Westbrook would be smart to look at the landscape of running backs trying to get paid before he says very much more to tick off Andy Reid. The Eagles have basically valued Westbrook's contributions to the team at about $4 million a year. I think they give him something like four years for $17 million. A ripoff, you say? Not according to the market. Workhorse backs who put up better numbers -- Shaun Alexander and Edgerrin James -- couldn't get long-term deals worth $6 million a year and couldn't fetch anything in trade for Seattle or Indianapolis, respectively. And Alexander and James likely will flood the market again this year. What leads Westbrook to think running backs are getting paid hugely in this game? They're not. Maybe it's unfair, but it's just a fact.

lamont jordan > westbrook

rjs246 · October 24, 2005, 12:23:46 PM

Jordan is crap. His ridiculous contract should be the exception, not the rule. One guys gets ludicrously overpaid and all of a sudden eveyone thinks they should also be ridiculously overpaid. Stupid.

Jay Glazer said on FOX yesterday that the Eagles have offered Westbrook a new contract offer...

I didn't catch if he gave out the details or not.

Hopefully he signs it and we can put this to bed.

WEST is GOD · October 31, 2005, 04:26:50 AM

I'm not doubting Westbrook by any means, he's probably my 2nd favorite player on this team. But do you guys think they Westbrook is a capable running back? IMO it's hard to say at this point because Andy doesn't run enough to find out. Do you think he's capable of being a productive rusher or do you think he is basically a pass receiver that plays RB? I know he's ran well before, but is he capable of giving us the rushing attack that we need if Andy decided to run 20 times per game?

PhillyPhreak54 · October 31, 2005, 04:55:09 AM

Yes he is a capable RB.

He needs a good blocking FB in front of him and a coach committed to running more than Andy has this year.

After seeing him cry like a little girl on the sidelines yesterday I was simultaneously repulsed and gladdened. At least someone was showing some emotion, even if it was little bitchy girl emotion.

He needs a better O-Line...another stud guard and a better center. He can run...he can be the man.

PoopyfaceMcGee · October 31, 2005, 04:21:55 PM

Eskin's stating this obvious... that the new proposal is significantly better and that the deal now has a good chance to get done by the end of this week. He's pretending he has sources, but I think it's just common sense.

WEST is GOD · October 31, 2005, 04:25:27 PM

It's probably the same sources who told him about Cortez about an hour before it was announced. Howard has good sources, and he's usually on the money. It's just that since people hate the man they just pick out all the stories he got wrong, but for every one he gets wrong he gets 5 right.
