The Eagles have got to utilize Correll Buckhalter or some other running back to take some of the carries from Brian Westbrook, so they can use BWest more in other capacities. It's a sacrifice for Brian but it's what the team needs.
I've heard that BWest was (unavailable) assumed by some to be spent and fatigued, when the Eagles were getting the ball back from the Packers at the end of that game. That's why Andy didn't get into it when asked about it at the Monday news conference. I saw Brian on Thursday going out early to field some punts. I joked with him that he was going to return punts on Sunday because I knew Andy wasn't dumb enough to put Greg Lewis back there.
Despite how valuable BWest is as a running back, I think he's more valuable as a receiver and a punt returner. I think they need to lessen Westbrook's carries and make him the team's punt returner. Despite the fact that it will prevent BWest from being the running back he wants to be, it helps the team more if he's lined up more as a receiver and as a punt returner.
Likewise John Harbaugh, who with a doubt is a great special teams coach, must contribute his knowledge of special teams to the football team. It doesn't matter what his position is, he's got to be consulted for his special teams knowledge.
