Read: Around the NFC East
Philadelphia Eagles: After suffering two concussions this season, RB Brian Westbrook took the field yesterday for the first time in six weeks.
“We were looking somewhere around 20 [plays] and then we would just see how he feels,” Andy Reid said. “I wasn’t sure what to expect. He told me he felt good, and he doesn’t lie to me. We gauge it off that. I’m just glad to have him back out there. He’s a talented guy.”
Westbrook ended up leading the team with rushing, going nine times for 32 yards while also adding two catches for 5 yards. it wasn’t expected that Westbrook was going to just come onto the field and look like the guy from 2 and 3 years ago, so the output he gave was more than satisfying.
Westbrook also wore a helmet with added cushioning to aid him from encountering yet another concussion.
Washington Redskins: Add even more insult to an utterly insulting season for the Washington Redskins. One thing they didn’t have on this all but successful season so far was being shut-out…but they made sure to get that credential straightened out while everyone was watching last night on national television.
After playing some very competitive football over the previous five weeks of the season to good football teams (including division rivals Dallas and Philadelphia), the Redskins have come out o national television two weeks in a row and proved how utterly dysfunctional they are.
The downturn of their play did coincidentally come at the same time of the Vinny Cerrato firing and Bruce Allen hiring…just thought I’d throw that out there.
ring ring…Bill Cowher please….ring ring. Yes, how much money do you want? Ok sure thing, we’ll have the paperwork drawn up.
Dallas Cowboys: There have been a few different elements of the month of December for the Dallas Cowboys this season. For starters, they’ve clinched the playoffs and Tony Romo is playing well. One thing that hasn’t changed however is the play of all-pro tight end Jason Witten.
Heading into the last game of the season, Witten has 88 catches for 954 yards, which is second only to the non-blocking Dallas Clark. Witten on the other hand, is known for his blocking prowess as much as his hands.
If you had the choice between Witten, Gates, and Clark, who would you take?
