Re: Brian Westbrook Meeting with Redskins on Wednesday
And don't forget the Westbrook and his brother are from the area. He played high school ball at DeMatha, so it would be good place to possibly finish off his career if he can stay healthy.
I think he's definitely leaning towards Washington. |

I love Westbrook as a player! Do you think too much would be made of the Eagles factor? |

I don't think it's the number one reason for him considering to come here, but yeah, I would say it's definitely a factor. Hooking up with Donovan again just a few hours from Philly, playing on the same team as his little brother, and quite frankly, being a part of an organization with a rich tradition and great fan base have to give the Skins the edge. Sure he'd get more playing time elsewhere, but so what. At this point in his career, he's not going to be the featured back anyway. But you have to think that if the Skins do sign Westbrooks, and I think they will, this particular backfield will be together for only one year. I think Shanny is possibly bringing in some new faces and vets here and there with an eye on next year's draft. |

Re: Brian Westbrook Meeting with Redskins on Wednesday
What type of injuries, besides the concussions, has Westbrooks had during his career? Any torn achilles or knee surguries?
Anybody? |

This was posted last summer, but the dude didn't seem to have any season-ending injuries. He definitely played injured though...but he still burned defenses despite that.

Re: Brian Westbrook Meeting with Redskins on Wednesday
Knee I thought.
05- Mid foot injury. 06-Swollen Knee. M.Kelly syndrome. 08- Rib & Ankle injury. 09- Concussion. Well actually 2. |

Before 2008, he had one of the cleanest bills of health in the league. He hasn't done anything spectacular out there since his (age 28) career year in 2007, but I think his "tank" is probably close to what Portis has left, in that neither had to play much last year because of concussions, so they should be fresher in the lower body/elusiveness category.

RT @RickMaese: Mike Shanahan says no update on Brian Westbrook: "We want him." Says team has extended an offer. #Redskins @RedskinsInsider |

Re: Brian Westbrook Meeting with Redskins on Wednesday
I think we'll keep three vet RBs but not four. If we get Westbrook to be the primary third down back, Parker isn't going to make it out of camp, I assume.
It's an upgrade, so I'm not complaining.

Re: Brian Westbrook Meeting with Redskins on Wednesday
BW would definitely be an upgrade to Parker so I don't have a problem with that, if that's the plan.

Re: Brian Westbrook Meeting with Redskins on Wednesday
My hope, my dream, my fantasy: Redskins win the SB on a clutch 4th quarter pass from McNabb to Westbrook. McNabb gets SB MVP.
Philly implodes in a cesspool of bitter frustation.
