Something we may not want to face but....

[FRESH]

Is Westy done?

I know about the nagging injuries, but that is part of who he is. Is our ultimate weapon.....running on empty?

[andrewaters]

maybe... i will tell you if knowshon moreno is available when we pick in the first round i would take him.

Pick 1A) - Brandon Pettigrew

Pick 1B) Knowshon Moreno

[pigster]

Westbrook ? Not done, but fading

As are Runyon, Tra Thomas, Dawkins, Akers

[fly]

slowing down for sure, but i don't think he's completely done. he needs a true compliment. bucky's ok, but not explosive enough.

what we really need is a #1WR. I'm openly and actively campaigning.

[FRESH]

fly, that's becasue you watched Fitz today. THere are only a handful of difference making WRs in the league, and he's 3 of them.

I don't want to hear a big cry for Boldin either. He's not sufficient to make a difference for us.

But we need to look at a replacement for Westy I think. Not just a complimentary back, but a guy that could fil his role in a year or two.

[sfphillyfan]

Boldin has been hurt. He's an absolute beast rac.

[CHIP72]

Westbrook has been injured IMO.

To answer the question, we'll find out more next season (barring a season-ending, preseason injury).

I don't know if Westbrook is done or not but he doesn't seem to have the burst he once had. Andy must draft a running back high in this years draft to protect against this happening again. Buchalter is a free agent and probably will leave for a chance to play more somewhere else (maybe St. louis)

[Vet Turf]

Moreno, IMO

Agree with this.
We definitely need to get a quality RB in the draft, preferably two.
Westy is not done but is looking slower. Adding a couple of stud young RBs is something the Eagles need to do this offseason.

As for a #1 WR being some huge area of need, Kevin Curtis went 4 for 122 today. And Desaun went 6 for 92 and a TD.

Meanwhile we couldn't run for shit at all, either because Westbrook is too far below 100% or because he's lost his burst. You pick the reason, I don't really care.

The reality is that the proverbial "#1 WR" is not nearly as big of a need as a #1 RB right now. A healthy Westbrook is a #1 RB, but since when have we had that?

....and a healthy Andrews might have helped, IMO.

Very good point TP.

[saratoga]

Westy's replacement definitely needs to be drafted. But he should have 1-2 pretty good years left.

But Either his vision is just not that good or he's too hobbled to get there, cause he's just not seeing the holes or hitting them quick enough.
