<A href="http://www.kffl.com/link/14">Jay Glazer, of FOXSports.com, reports Philadelphia Eagles RB Brian Westbrook has agreed on a six-year deal to remain with the team. The deal is expected to be completed this evening.

I guess that's good. He can take TOs place as the #1 receiver. They still need to find a RB.

best back in the NFL. just give him the touches he needs and he'll be lumped in with tomlinson, alexander, edge, etc

i agree that he can be a great back if he gets the touches....but dude hes not in the same class as those 3

 

[kastofsna120]

he's better, actually

:rofl: we could use your humour on the main board about now

 

[kastofsna120]

your ignorance is your bliss i suppose

 

[RAS25]

wait wait wait you were serious?

your telling me that the eagles have the best RB in the NFL, watch him everyday, see tape of him everyday, but yet dont think hes good enough as a runner so they throw the ball 40 times a game. But somehow u know hes that good?

:confused2

That was a suprised move IMO. I figured that Westbrook would want to get the hell out of there.

Good signing by Philly.

Now they just need to get rid of TO.

yeah that's why the dolphins aren't running ricky and ronnie a ton, right? because they aren't doing well? that's why they had a combined 28 carries in the first two games?

when westbrook gets the touches, the eagles win. same with tomlinson. westbrook combines the barry sanders agility with the versatility of marshall faulk. he's THE most talented back in teh league, and he NEEDS to be used properly. do you really think the eagles would give him that big of an extension for nothing? they know he's good and know they MUST keep him

Kastofsna is just being tated right now. He's one of the most overrated RBs in the NFL, I guess that's why Philly quit running the ball. He's a receiver & is nowhere near the same class of Tomlinson, James, Alexander, etc... & never will be because he can't take the pounding. If Philly had a real RB last year they would have won the Super Bowl.

 

[kastofsna120]

give him the ****ing ball

Notice this happened after TO's incident? They couldn't afford to lose their top two offensive weapons heading into next season.
