McNabb to Westbrook is one of the greatest West coast QB/RB tandem in history...to show how that is done in practice is priceless...even if he doesn't make the team...imagine Roger Craig and Montana together showing a new team how it is done in training camp....

And think about this....yeah, he is old...but if the guy gets 5-8 carries a game instead of 25...think of how much less wear and tear that is.
I actually think he could be one of the most ideal 3rd down backs in the league...his only question is health....but didn't we gamble on Mike Williams?
And just think..he was a "BUST".
Westbrook has played at the highest level and was easily the most dangerous offensive threat to a team that has gotten to the NFC championship 5 times.

There is no way the eagles would have done that without Westbrook...they didn't have the WR's and RB's to do that without Westbrooks versitality.

Remember...players individually sometimes flop when going to new teams...but it is the teamwork that creates champions.

I say go for it...screw it...keep 5 RBs if you have to....we certainly are going to need someone to be a quick target for a pass with a projected weak Oline.
Have you ever seen Shanny with heavy RB experience?...it is the opposite of his MO...for good reason...he is compensating for the oline...

GO FOR IT...sign Westbrook....risk is near ZERO!

I agree 100% and it's something this offense has been lacking for many years. A true pass catching threat coming out of the backfield that defenses must account for. As I mentioned before how long has Kevin Faulk been in New England doing this?? Westbrook would be the perfect fit here for that role. To me this is a no brainer.
