As just about everyone has stated, the key to the Eagles Offense is Westbrook. If Westbrook plays, the Eagles have what it takes to move the ball the score big points. Without him, Buckhalter and Booker just aren't scary. The Skins secondary have more than enough to shut down Jackson, Baskett, and Lewis. Throw Westbrook into the equation, and there will be a mismatch somewhere that McNabb can exploit.
On the flipside, the Skins O-Line have to keep Jim Johnson's blitzes off of JC's ass. The Eagles have a very good secondary, with Dawkins bringing the hammer, and Asante Samuel one of the better cover guys in the league. JC needs to keep playing his game, and building his confidence.
That said, Beast Rivalry matches can get downright ugly...
Skins 16
Eagles 13

ESPN just now reported Westbrook participated in practice today and is expected to play this weekend. Shit.

I think that this game will be a coming out party for one of our rookie wideouts. This team is progressing and getting the confidence it needs to buy into what the coaches are selling. With these weapons being used to their potential, defenses will not be able to key on one thing. I hope that I'm not jinxing anything here but I think that this team is on the verge of scoring many points in any game that they play in.
The defense is playing very well too, but more pass rush is sorely needed. Romo looked at little too comfortable moving around in the pocket with would-be tacklers wiffing by.
I'm curious to know about the status of some of our starters that got nicked-up against dallas, and is J. Taylor going to be ready to go?
But, overall I like what I'm seeing each week. This team appears to be hitting it's stride.

I really hope Devin Thomas breaks out. Next to Justin Tryon, I've been most concerned about him. Also, when will we start seeing Fred Davis in 2 TE formations?

They have no TE, shit for receivers and a RB if he plays that will be the focus of the defense. I dont see how they score more then 14

LJ Smith isn't too bad. DeShean Jackson is a legit deep threat and a healthy Reggie Brown had 80 yds on Sunday in Chicago. Westbrook was our focus last year and he still killed us in our house. Just sayin...
LJ Smith is constantly banged up again this year and has been a non-factor.
