Eagles release B. Westbrook, per NFL Network

Portis points to LT as the reason he shouldn't full participation in mini-camps and training camp. Now the Skins can point to LT as the reason to why he should be doing those things.

LT hitting the wall had nothing to do with off season/pre season stuff. CP is just crying like a baby like he always does cause he's lazy and doesn't want to train.

I think Westbrook has some mileage left and is worth looking at as a part time player. LT is just done.

Yup. It's amazing how fast NFL running backs hit the proverbial wall. Guys like LT, Westbrook, and Alexander went from dominant to done in a very short time.
I think that Doc just said it very well

"Age is an undefeated opponent"

LT or Westbrook? Who would you rather have of the two?

Assuming we're talking about a limited role only, I would take Westbrook. But only if he's 100% back from those concussions of course.

I feel the exact opposite. LT doesn't have the breakaway pop he used to, and neither does Westbrook. But LT doesn't have concussion issues.

He's made of glass and McCoy is a younger, healthier clone of him.



Please don't come to the Redskins.

I'm not trying to Skins bash but just trying to compare and contrast the styles of competitive teams in this league against ours.

The Eagles organization basically cut their best standout offensive player when he was close to his peak, up or down. That had to be a tough decision for them to make but it was made and with no real dire consequences to them other than sentimental as they have young replacements ready to pick up that slack.

The Eagles made a decision like this last year when they cut a pivotal defenseman in Brain Dawkins, yet their team as a whole still managed to make the playoffs.

Where do you think we'd be next year if we, contractual consequences aside, cut Portis and Fletcher this offseason? Our hopes on next season would seem really dim compared to the more competitive teams in the league.

Bottom line, to me, is we'll be more competitive NFL wide when we finally bring in the long overdue depth we've needed since the Snyder spending spree days. Here's to seeing our Skins grow deeper and stronger...Hail to the Redskins.

Word is that Portis will not be the next one released. Much to some of your dismay.

And no, I don't want Westbrook or LT on this team. CP has more to offer at this point than either one of those guys.
