Re: Brian Westbrook?
I would think the Eagles will run the ball more with McMahon at QB. I also would hope Reid would have a bunch of "safe" passes like swings and screens that should mean the same amount of catches for Westbrook.
The Eagles have to get the ball in his hands he is thier best playmaker. I wouldn't be too concerned about teams knowing he will be getting the ball because of how many different spots he lines up in and how many times he catches passes. Reid is very good at getting him the ball in space and Westbrook is in that Marshal Faulk mode of back who you just can't scheme against.
I'm sitting Westbrook in two leagues this week (for Lamont Jordan) and just trying to gauge how he is used Sunday. However, without that viable option I would be starting him and not be too worried.
