Re: Eagles release Brian Westbrook

Other than constant injury problems, did he have a decline in production or obvious struggles?

I would imagine that the Browns are going to take a long look at him with Heckert being in Cleveland now.

Yeah, he definitely lost a step. His knee is wrecked.

Re: Eagles release Brian Westbrook

Thanks for the memories, Brian. The right move, but a sad day nevertheless.

Man, that's a shame.

Westbrook, when healthy, was easily one of the most fun RB's to watch in the NFL.

Reid really knows when to get rid of old vets, though. Looks like he knew this was going to be Brian's last year with drafting Shady.

Re: Eagles release Brian Westbrook

Does this mean that the Eagles be looking to draft a back who can be a significant contributor right away?

And the motto in the league now is that you need two backs to carry the load. Sad. Chargers and Eagles ran these guys for all they were worth. The two back system is so important nowadays for longevity.

Re: Eagles release Brian Westbrook

The Eagles are my second favorite team and man this is sad to hear. But its still probably the right move seeing as McCoy should suffice.
