does Jaws have the right idea about Birds '06 offense?

[rjs246]

The problem is that he wouldn't be a 'damn good' slot receiver either, IMO. He's a great 'weapon' because teams have to respect that when he's in the game it could be a run or a pass and he could be a threat either way, but if he lines up as a 5'8" slot receiver more often than he lines up in the backfield he would cease to be as effective.

But to answer your question, yes, that was better. Not great, but better.

[LBIggle]

excuse me while i become overwhelmed with joy at a 5'8" slot receiver.  while its good to mix it in there, im pretty sure it's not hard to switch to nickel and pop a corner on him if you make a big habit of it.  on top of the fact lewis and pinkston both have multiple years left on their deals.  i doubt they'll be riding pine while westbrooks taking receiver snaps. 

the eagles are only middle of the pack with cap space available this year, i don't see them pursuing edge to the money he's going to be asking for after signing westy.  especially when the front 7 is in desperate need of the biggest chunk of that money.

I disagree.  It's the lack of a front 7 that is in desperate need of the biggest chunk of that money.  The last thing this team needs to do is give the current group more money.

Arguing the merits or lack thereof of Brian Westbrook as a full-time receiver is moot.

He's a running back and won't be used as a full-time receiver.  His "weapon" status is certainly not limited to the RB position as history has proven.  He has been very effective when he has been split out wide in the past, so saying that he hasn't is just plain false.

As for him occupying the same backfield with White/James, that would certainly produce some curious matchup problems as well.   My thoughts on the RB position are well-documented here.  If I were in charge, I'd bring someone dynamic, big and fast to complement Westbrook.  If doing so meant less snaps for Westbrook at running back and more for him split out wide, then so farging be it.

In that case we agree. But I enjoy arguing in circles, so feel free to claim that we disagree.

C'mon dude.  You should know better than to admit doing anything in circles when I'm online.  For shiz-ame.

I don't restrict my self-love to any one geometric shape. I'm an equal opportunity beater offer.

Stab yourselves in the groin.

Don't try to get sexy with me, Rome.

I don't give a shtein what they do with Brian Westbrook.  James would definitely make our team better, so I want him on the farging team.  It's pretty simple.  Hell, Westbrook as a PR/KR and occasional receiver and change-of-pace back could be a very busy man.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for typing complement instead of compliment.

I don't disagree at all; however, Westbrook would also be a very angry man as he has said innumerable times (at least more than I can count to, which is five [5]) he considers himself a full-time back.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Westbrook might consider himself a tall white man too, but that doesn't make it so.

Why not?  It seems to work for Michael Jackson.

What are you talking about?  Nobody believes that Michael Jackson is a man.
