Best of Westbrook 2007
2008-02-11 03:40:00 Since Packers coach Mike McCarthy decided not to use RB Brian Westbrook at all I decided to post a 2007 highlight video of B-West. He did lead the NFL in total yards from scrimmage, and was voted to the All-Pro team. I think he deserves a carry or two.

Linced Up: Romo Choked Edition
2008-01-14 18:36:00 It was very strange to actually root for the Giants, but they came through for Eagles fans. I hate the Giants, but I despise the Cowboys even more.

Philadelphia Sports Figures To Watch In 08?
2008-01-02 22:25:00 ITI’s Top Ten of 2008 10. Andre Igoudala- He is the young talented player on the Sixers right now. Not a tremendous player, but he will impact how well the Sixers do.

Westbrook To Get A Raise?
2008-01-02 04:09:00 I was listening to Daily News Live the other day, and Derrick Gunn said something that caught my attention.

Defense Dominates Cowboys
2007-12-17 04:12:00 An inspired Eagles defense shut down the high powered Dullas Offense Iggles Win 10-6 Maybe Andy Reid is not so delusional. The Eagles who are hanging on to their improbable playoff hopes by a tiny thread gave it their all today. There was no quit in this team. They did not just lay down, and get ready to ...
Sportaphile?s Pro Bowl Ballot - Offense
2007-12-05 10:30:00 I never watch the Pro Bowl. When I’m looking at football I want to see angry linebackers trying to injure someone, not guys running around smiling in Hawaii. The game is boring and worthless. … but that doesn’t mean I don’t vote. I’m not a typical voter (well maybe I am), and I’m a spiteful bastard. ...

Eagles Fry Fish 17-7
2007-11-18 23:13:00 McNabb Hurt Again:After throwing two early interceptions, Donovan McNabb got knocked out of the game by a take down from a blitzing Dolphins corner. McNabb sprained his right ankle, almost exactly one year away from when he tore his ACL in the same leg. X-rays were negative, but Donovan sat out the rest of the game. Right now his status for next week is uncertain.Feeley Gets Revenge: A.J. Feeley stepped in for the injured McNabb, and threw the third Eagles interception of the game. After that mistake Feeley settled down. He completed 13 of 19 passes, for 116 yards, and 1 touch down. Feeley did a good job of spreading the ball around, hitting eight different receivers.A.J. was traded to Miami in 2004 for a second round pick(ended up being Reggie Brown), and was once considered the franchise QB. Feeley struggled in Miami, and was traded away to San Diego. After a brief stint there Feeley was released in 2006, and the Eagles quickly brought him back to Philadelphia. Now Feeley got his ...
Westbrook To Holdout?
2007-11-16 16:53:00 Storylines already promising to punctuate the Eagles' offseason are Donovan McNabb's fate in Philadelphia, Andy Reid's ongoing crisis at home and the impending free agency of tight end L.J. Smith.Brian Westbrook's contract situation could be another side story -- or perhaps even more attention-catching than the other three.In his weekly press conference, Westbrook hinted Wednesday that his contract might need some reworking, lest the Eagles want another ugly holdout situation come training camp.Westbrook danced around the question of whether or not the five-year, $25-million pact he signed in 2005 that included a signing bonus of $6 million remains fair market value."The contract I signed back then, it made sense for me at that point," Westbrook said. "Right now, I try not to get into contract numbers and contract talk right now. We're focusing on trying to win football games. For this team, we don't want anything to distract us from doing that."The Eagles play winless Miami o...
Eagles Scalp Skins
2007-11-12 13:37:00 Goal Line Stand Saved Season:The Eagles defense had been on it's heels most of the game. The defensive line had gotten almost no pressure to this point, the secondary was brutal, and the linebackers were missing tackles.The Redskins had a first and goal at the 2 yard line, after Donovan McNabb fumbled the ball a few play before. A Redskins score would put them up 9, and would have likely sealed the game.The defense had enough. On six plays inside the five(a penalty in the middle) the Eagles defense rose to the occasion. They held the Redskins to a field goal, and gave the offense a chance to win the game.This stand reminded me of Lito's interception against Carolina last year. A play that saved the Eagles season, and sparked the entire team. I only hope this has the same effect.A Play To Remember:After the goal line stand, the Eagles still had to score. Who do they turn to in situations like these? Brian Westbrook. Put the ball in Westbrook's hands, and let him do his magic.On a ...
Donovan Clears The Air Again
2007-11-08 16:30:00 What seems to be a reoccurring theme, Donovan McNabb once again had to explain his comments from a recent press conference. This time he decided to do so on his Yardbarker blog: I was surprised to hear that people were saying that I am not taking blame for us being 3-5. I did say in my press conference earlier today (http://www.philadelphiaeagles.-com/news/Story.asp?story_id=143-81) that "I'm definitely not the whole reason why we lost these games" and "I'm not fully [to] blame for everything that goes on around here."But I also said, "There are a lot of mistakes I've made. [Whether] it's throws I want back, [bad] decisions, whatever it may be, there are mistakes that I've made in every game- a lot of things that you're not used to doing, a lot of things that you know you can do better. Everybody makes mistakes. But, in this situation, there's no room for error, and that goes for each individual person. There's no room for error."I wish it were easy to find out what is going w...
Cowboys Embarrass Eagles 38-17
2007-11-06 07:17:00 T.O. Gets His Revenge:Eagles vs T.O. round 2 was a huge victory for WR Terrell Owens. T.O. stuck it to the Eagles by catching 10 passes for 174 yards, including a 45 yard touch down. He was a difference maker, and the Eagles secondary was pathetic trying to stop him.Last year the Eagles shut down Owens in his return to the Linc, but this time T.O. gets his. As much as it pains me to say it, T.O. was the player of the game.Defense?:Did the defense even show up? Dallas scored 38 points, finished the game with a total of 434 yards, and went 8-12 on third down. The Eagles defense was constantly on it's heels. They did not just bend, they were completely broken down.The worst part is they are not making many big plays. The defense had no sacks, no fumbles, and no answer for the Cowboys attack. The only big play made by the defense was a Lito Sheppard interception. Lito of course also left the game with a knee injury, and did not return.Tony Romo signed a huge contract recently, and he p...
Birds D Collapses In Final Minute
2007-10-22 02:42:00 97 Friggin Yards:The Eagles defense has been excellent this year. So when Sav Rocca pinned the Bears deep with a minute 52 seconds left, you would think they could be able to hold the Bears inept offense one last time.Well if you saw this dreadful game, then you already know they didn't hold.The Bears had no timeouts, and started off the drive by throwing short underneath passes. 11 yards to Clark, 9 to Peterson, 9 to Hester, and 9 more to Clark.Then with the game on the line the Bears attack changed.On a 3rd and 3 with only 49 ticks to go, Brian Griese Throws a strike to Bernard Berrian in stride. Berrian gets all the way to the Eagles 39 for a gain of 25 yards. The Bears quickly ran down the field, and spiked the ball. The next play was another big one for the Bears. Greise passed to Devin Hester for 21 more yards. Bears ran up to the 15 yard line, and spiked the ball again.Then comes the dagger. Greise floated one up in the back of the end zone, and Muhsin Muhammad out jumped Se...
Did you know Byron Westbrook is Brian Westbrook's brother?
2007-05-16 17:54:00 In case you missed it, that fact was reported here and here and here and here and here and here and here and here and here. Admittedly it's just a bunch of national newspapers running the same story (probably taken from AP). But is the trivial fact that the Washington Redskins signed a defensive back from DIII Salisbury University who happens to be the brother of a reasonably successful NFL player really newsworthy? Enough so to travel from D.C. to Detroit to Seattle to Boston to Charlotte to... I understand the need for writing news even when none is actually happening, as I've had to suffer through boring news cycles. But perspective is sorely missing from this story. Byron Westbrook wasn't drafted for a reason, played at a Division III school, and joins seven other players Brandon Register, DB, UAB Alex Buzbee, DE, Georgetown Brian Bell, TE, Kent State Kevin Jones, LB, Saint Augustine's Pete Schmitt, FB, Wisconsin-Whitewater Carl Berman, WR, Indiana State Corneli...
