Read: Around the NFC East
Philadelphia Eagles: Well it seems the good are getting better. Starting RB Brian Westbrook has been officially cleared to play this Sunday for the Eagles when they play the Denver Broncos. Westbrook, who has only played in six games this season due to concussion injuries, will return to a Phili rushing attack that really hasn’t missed him all that much.
Both rook RB LeSean McCoy and FB Leonard Weaver have actually done more than they were expected to do filling in for the injured Nova alum.
Head coach Andy Reid said that Westbrook did “perfect” on his testing and he is “ready to roll” for Sunday’s game. Getting him back two games before the playoffs should help Westbrook and the Eagles to establish any lost chemistry there was before the injury.
Good news for the birds…I guess. I don’t really know though. Even when Westbrook was healthy enough to play this season, he hardly got on the field. The Eagles almost have too many weapons in their offense, which range from Michael Vick option plays, to FB screens, to DeSean Jackson streak patterns. I’m not really sure there is enough ball to go around for the playmaking Westbrook, but I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
Dallas Cowboys: With a new kicker in town for the Dallas Cowboys, Tony Romo will be staying as the placeholder for field goals and extra points. However, his job did get a little harder with the new acquisition, as Mr. Suisham likes the ball held at a different angle than his predecessor Nick Folk.
“You’ll have to practice that and get things down,” Romo said Wednesday. “But I suspect that we’ll be fine with it.”
In other news from Dallas, FB Deon Anderson missed his second straight day of practice and it is expected that if he cannot go, backup TE John Phillips would take his place as a blocking back.
Frankly, I don’t think any of this matters if the Redskins come out and play like they did against us. Lets just hope the ‘Skins got some sort of east coast bias and an additional hatred for Jerry Jones’ Dallas team. Lets also hope that Washington gets the ball first in this game so Dallas can’t come right out and suck any existing heart left in that Redskins locker room.
Washington Redskins: This season just keeps getting weirder for the Redskins. Now, there is a controversy growing that secondary coach Jerry Gray has interviewed for the head coaching job within the organization.
Joseph White of edmontonsun.com writes, “There’s been a retired bingo caller hired as a consultant, a head coach stripped of play-calling duties, a front office chief fired and a general manager hired. Now there’s a question as to whether one of Jim Zorn’s assistants has interviewed for Zorn’s job — even though the position is not yet vacant.”
Apparently, Mr. Gray was asked whether or not he had interviewed for the job and had responded no. He then would not respond to the question again when asked. A few minutes later, team spokesman Zack Bolno had told reporters that the “no” had actually meant “no comment” further confusing the media.
I give up Washington…I’ve never seen a team in as much dissaray as you are. You’ve done it. You’ve officially become the most messed up franchise in the NFL. Good luck on hiring a quality coach to come next year.
