*** Say what you want about reports coming out of Philadelphia on Monday, but the Eagles have not ruled running back Brian Westbrook in for that game yet.
Westbrook said on his radio show Monday night that it's close to being a dreaded high-ankle sprain. Stay tuned on this one.
*** For entertainment purposes only, the Eagles opened as a 3.5-point favorite.
What's worse than letting Berrian and Mooose go? When the only WR you resigned blows .
No doubt we'll waste another first rounder to get one
Let's hope they don't use it on a WR. We have greater needs on the aging OL. Football is still won on the line of scrimmage and we need help there first. Not that we don't have needs at WR. But there are greater needs along the Offensive Line.
