Brian Westbroke

In another thread, many members of this board were bantering about the thought that to stop the Eagles, you must stop T.O.. I was the only one on that thread that disagreed.

I have always believed (and always will believe) that to stop the Eagles, you must first stop RB Brian Westbrook. After all, isn't he something like 30% of their offense?

I'll give T.O. his props....but McNabb and Westbrook are the Eagles' two biggest weapons. If you stop Westbrook, you have a strong chance of beating the birds.

This week, the Ravens will try to do just that because Westbrook will not be playing due to a chest injury. For those of you watching that game, take a good hard look at how the Eagles offense will likely sputter and not be nearly as dominating as in previous games (except for the Browns game).

Too bad the Ravens offenses sucks, or I'd give them the advantage over Philly this week.

Oh well.....

I agree. The Birds are down to Levens as their rb, so Baltimore can concentrate on TO and virtually take him out of the game. The score will be much closer than most people think.

I think it'll end up something like 17-10, 17-7, Philly.

I agree with you on "Westbroke." (haha) But I think that if even BW played, the Ravens still would have a good chance at shutting down TO. That have an incredible run defense. Stupid raisins.
