Brian Westbrook looked fine to me yesterday at practice but he also mysteriously showed up on the injury list that the Birds released. I don’t know what happpened which caused the Eagles to add his name to the injury report.
I’ve said it numerous times this week that Westbrook is the more important addition to the offensive attack. If he’s healthy he can’t be covered by one player.
If you add a healthy Westbrook to an emerging Superstar like DeSean Jackson and rest of the offensive weapons; Kevin Curtis, Brent Celek and Leonard Weaver, you can’t cover all of them.
He forces you to make a commitment to stop him or his teammates, but as we found out last year he’s got to be healthy.
Westbrook is at a point in his career where it’s not a guarantee that he can battle through injuries and still be productive.
If there’s any problems with his health, I want to see the Birds split his usual touches between BWest and his understudy LeSean McCoy.
We should have some information for you by the middle of the day.
