Eagles Release Brian Westbrook

[natureboyinyourface]

i really don't know anything about football but i heard he's one of the most underrated players in the nfl.

[JayFeliceW]

Westbrook >

[jackgassen]

im from sf and i'm going to a game 2day. he's on the 49ers now so hopefully ill see him play

[vtec03]

welcome to the 49ers!!!! much respect to eagles he was great with you guyz

[The2008Phillies]

I want to trade Andy Reid for a box of Tastycakes.

[7xxJohnnyRebelxx7]

@The2008Phillies Too bad he ate all the fucking tastycakes fat bastard. I want Westbrook and Dawkins back.

[Tzler]

@7xxJohnnyRebelxx7 Idc what anyone says I want Westbrook,BDawk,Sheldon Brown, Lito Sheppard, S Considine, T spikes, Jeavon Kearse, Todd Pinkston, Kevin Curtis...maybe T.O... I WANT DONOVAN MCNABB BACK most OF ALL!!!!!

[7xxJohnnyRebelxx7]

@Tzler YES. Maybe not T.O. if was McNabb that made him good. When he went to the Cowboys he didn't do anything. Javon Kearse is a beast. Most people don't know Kearse. But he's one of the best tackles ever.

[Tzler]

@7xxJohnnyRebelxx7 agreed

[DaKidVT]

@Tzler Our team is better off without them sorry

[Tzler]

@DaKidVT well now we are cuz times move on but its easy to say that now anyway cuz we have Vick beastin it up. it was McNabbs idea for us to sign Vick and just think were we would be if Kolb was our fucking leader?? Vick brings out the best in everyone except Celek cuz they aint got the chemistry yet and i dont know why

[DaKidVT]

@Tzler Its not vick its just our O-Line needs help so they use Celek in blocking packages alot more. And how can you trash Kolb he hasnt lost us any games the games we did lose our D did

[slade90210]

I can't believe my cousin is trading. =[

[comicman2124]

Kolb's Time Now YEAH

[iamborghini1]

westbrook should have been less injured imo

[kevinleeyang]

@iamborghini1 westbrook was always injured...every runningback is injured to some degree..westbrook just fought through the pain game in and game out for a small guy..hes tough. his knee is constantly swelling and thats just something you must deal with..then that game against the steelers...where he messed up his ankle...which soon became an issue too...that reminds me...the ankle used to be lito sheppards problem.

[DeSeanJackson1995]

Vick*

[DeSeanJackson1995]

McNabb geting old Vics time to shine

[FireChidori]

@DeSeanJackson1995 vick's time to shine?? i wish! unfortunately kevin kolb is the starter... >:(

[MrJlb80]

i cried when i herd this

[Angelo7silver10]

Broncos with Dawks lmaoo

[LivForTheFun]

with McCoy backing him up. McCoy's good but not a starter yet. And in my opinion I'm ready for a change at the leadership position at QB. McNabb has had his chances and blew it. I want to win a superbowl so screw McNabb and if his buddy Andy Reid doesn't do it he can go to. Cause yes we need a change but we r making the wrong changes we needed Westbrook and Dawkins but we got rid of them. McNabb had the best team behind him last season and couldn't do it. So get rid of him and start fresh.

[LivForTheFun]

Westbrooks one of the gratest the Eagles have ever had. I do agree that if he is always hurt he shouldn't get payed but thats not the case he isn't always hurt. He got hurt and had a bad season. That doesn't sum up his career. He is a small running back that made things happen. We used him to much and got lucky he wasn't hurt sooner. After all the abuse he was but through it finally cought up to him but he had a years worth of rest and he'll be ready and we wouldn't of had to use him as much

[PwnT0mmy]

almost every season westbrooke has missed a couple of games. hes injury prone. The Eagles need someone who can stay healthy

[floflwaffle]

Just filthy thats all I can say last season he had injuries and an off season but one before that he was our best player obviously players come and go thats the NFL but this guy had a couple more seasons in him im not talking shit seasons either im talking top knotch assuming he wasn't injured McCoy is a great back and will be one of the best in coming seasons but even he still needed some nurturing before full time play. I promise that if McNabb goes say bye bye to playoffs.

[drivethrubandit]

westbrook needed to go there is no point in holding up all tha money for a player that wont play cuz he is hurt 24/7 ppl nbeed to realize running back wear out over years he will never play the same plus we got mccoy

[murk345]

Cheap ass eagles First Brian dawkins now brian westbrook wtf because they cheap as ever

[FireChidori]

@murk345 and then mcnabb.. kind of pisses you off dosent it.. i cant be an eagles fan anymore if they keep pulling this shit..

[catalit56]

@FireChidori couldnt fuckin agree more. first dawkins, then westbrook, then mcnabb, the three best players on the franchise

[kevinleeyang]

@catalit56 well..thats why they say...enjoy them while they are there...the nfl is constantly changing..new faces on every team each year. nothing lasts forever man...i wish bdawk and bwest were 21 again..now theres new players to look up to...mccoy, kolb, maclin, desean, celek, cole, graham, bradley...and so on..our teams very different now..

[bigmaczado4]

@catalit56 andy reid is a dumbass!

[DaKidVT]

@bigmaczado4 Is he still a dumb ass?

[bigmaczado4]

@DaKidVT No but Westbrook went to 49ers and and didn't even start but every time he went in he got a good amount of yards

[DaKidVT]

@FireChidori You still thinking about leaving?

[FireChidori]

@DaKidVT no thanks to vick's dominance over the rest of the nfl, that has allowed me to stay a diehard eagles fan...

if kolb was the starter, things might be a different story though..

[DaKidVT]

@FireChidori Kevin Kolb was maturing but no doubt Vick is worlds away no one can trash kevin kolb because he is good did you see him against the falcons? I personally think we would have been 10-6 with him.

[FireChidori]

@DaKidVT then what are your excuses for kolb's performances against washington part 1 and tennessee..

washington's defense is fucking garbage and the best he could do was play checkdown king the whole game.. ill admit he might of been better if he had prep for it though..

[Tzler]

@FireChidori i agree with YOU 100% !!! kolb is sooo over rated and the only reason why i was mad we traded McNabb was because I knew kolb was SHIT! he is a solid BACKUP qb! he is NOT starter material and I knew VICK would be THE SHIT unlike kolb

[DaKidVT]

@FireChidori No one was open at all and he took reps with the 2nd team all that week im not making excuses for him im just saying no one can play without flaws and no one can be great without experience.

[FireChidori]

@DaKidVT yeah no one was open.. meanwhile vick went 5/7 against washington before he got hurt, and destroyed washington in one of the best games for a quarterback ever played a couple of weeks later.

[DaKidVT]

@FireChidori Well i can tell you only want to bash Kevin Kolb as if he lead us into a 4-12 Season or something hes done nothing wrong to the fans hes a great guy and still continues to support vick through everything hes been through i just dont see why hes treated so badly.

[FireChidori]

@DaKidVT textsnip.com /965edf

[FireChidori]

@DaKidVT also textsnip . com / 185170

[Tzler]

@DaKidVT bullshit dude kolb lost his starting job for a reason. i personally belive we would be undefeated or at the least only ONE lost (2 the bears) becuz the games we did lose was with kolb at the helm

[DaKidVT]

@Tzler No kolb lost his job based on Vicks Skills Vick IMO is the best QB in the NFL. He lost because Vick is a better QB

[Tzler]

@DaKidVT well when vick leaves wether it be after this season or next you will see..

[DaKidVT]

@Tzler If they let Vick go that will be the biggest mistake in NFL history IMO he needs a 5 year deal so does Desean Jackson

[Tzler]

@DaKidVT i think he should get a 3year contract only becuz of his age...if we DO 5 years then okay but he is 30 and although he is playing lights out it can all stop bearing any SERIOUS injury so 3 years imo is good

[DaKidVT]

@Tzler I agree i just say that because he was 2 years removed from football and last season and didnt really take hits as our reserve Weapon

[Shortyboo4u07]

This really pisses me off..he is my favorate player!

[doctorweston05]

later westbrook.u were the best

[mugmen]

Tomlinson, Sproles, Westbrook, and possibly Sharper. Damn, everyone good is getting released

[ang264monique]

that sucks he is da best rb on a eagles

[Th3Best0ne]

one word or westbrook "Patriots"..........

[WonderingAimlessly]

this team is losing it. Reed needs to go. Unfortunately I don't think that moron owning the team will sell any time soon. Well, between this and the screwball move of picking up the dog killa, they lost revenue from me. NO buying tickets, shirts, anything for that matter with the Eagles name on it. I'm done 'til things change.

[ballershanelle]

cowboys need him and a quarterback

[kizphillyallday]

know where fucked we have no run game yeah we got weaver and McCoy but its gonna take a while for McCoy to get better so where fucked

[EeVvAaNn3]

@kizphillyallday

In the meantime, the Eagles can draft or sign another RB (Maybe Sproles if the Chargers don't extend him?) and use a RB duo.

As far as the draft goes... maybe Jonathan Dwyer? Montario Hardesty? LeGarrette Blount (Yeah yeah, character issues. Looked good in the Senior Bowl though)

[tinywentz]

Eagles fans are temperamental that's 90%temper 10%mental.

[RazzEeir]

Eagles release Dawkins AND Westbrook... DAMN! hope we still make it.

[12bdawk]

yeah mcnabb next then sheldon brown . every one fro m the superbowl team

[tinywentz]

@12bdawk everyone from the team that lost the Superbowl!

[cocodrillo1012]

wow philly screwed them selfs by releasing westbrook they are not gonna have a big run game anymore!

[WonderingAimlessly]

I guess the fact the the stadium goes wild every time Westbrook stepped onto the field during the intro didn't matter.  The fans will respond.

[thelegendary13]

westbrook i will miss him

[ireenram]

mcchoke is next love u b west

[Codyeagle1]

who the fk is Mcchoke? not Mcnabb thats for sure u need to look up what choke means.

[tinywentz]

DONOVAN your next!

[JR66108]

Westbrook was a great tailback. I thought he was going to be with Philly his entire career, but things didn't work out that way. I believe he will be picked up by someone.. but i don't think he will be a starter, he's too prone to injuries. nevertheless, he is one of the greatest all purpose tailbacks ever.

[36bwest]

one of the teams all time greats...we'll miss you man

[pogocorpse]

Westbrook was MONEY when he was able to play - I'm sure he'll get picked up by someone,too much talent not to...

[yourdedede0]

As far as the Westbrook thing goes, im pissed off about their decision to release him.. McCoy is good, but he will NEVER be as good as Westbrook.

[thelegendary13]

@yourdedede0 i agree with u i feel the same way

[Codyeagle1]

he cant pick up the blitzzes like West36 could

[AtreyuFalcorBetrays]

haha did you hear him on sportscenter just now?? he's going to worship howard sterns prostate.....seriously....his exact words...

[RazzEeir]

-prank call, wasnt westbrook

[mexisp2]

rb's just get chewed and spit in this league sad

[ricky6353916]

OMG the eagles will suck even more now thats y we did'nt make it to the superbowl last year he waz out

[BigRed3117]

@ricky6353916

we didnt make to the superbowl nor do we ever win big games is due to the choke artist, mcnabb.

[yourdedede0]

Yea, blame fucking McNabb for everything.. Football is a team sport. Also, he has 10 postseason wins and a great Philly career.

[RazzEeir]

wow anotgher hater, who's even a philly fan. you should be grateful, he's a great player. if you think about it, we might have Culpepper or Painter or jeffie for a QB

we cant be sure that if he was gone, we would have manning or brady...

[clnmike]

Westbrook sho8uld never have been Philly's feature back. They needed a work hore not a show pony.

[kitenyos]

r u stupid clnmike? how was westbrook a show pony. he was mad humble

[clnmike]

Im refering to his to the style of play the Eagles chose to use him mush for brains, halfcack screens wide out ect. They needed a straight foward back to run tyhe middle or diod you not see how sorry the Eagles were when it came to running the ball in the red zone?

[Freestylez100]

Why would the Eagles do this?

[Corvastus]

Tomlinson, now Westbrook? Are no running backs good enough?

[ethereal2007]

chris johnson

[json1]

Westbrook had to see this coming.

[HaloVsC0D4VsGTA]

damn i never knew this will happen 2009 Buckhalter now 2010 Westbrook

[BigRed3117]

@HaloVsC0D4VsGTA

buckhalter isnt a surprise and so is westbrook.

westbrook is getting old and injury pone, the last 2 season shows that and he was due alot of money in the 2010 season.

[HaloVsC0D4VsGTA]

he should go to Lions

[biggerflexible]

@json1 LOL yup and this time McNabb couldn't come to the rescue. Donovan might be next.
