Thoughts on Eagles/Redskins

[BDBohnzie]

As just about everyone has stated, the key to the Eagles Offense is Westbrook. If Westbrook plays, the Eagles have what it takes to move the ball the score big points. Without him, Buckhalter and Booker just aren't scary. The Skins secondary have more than enough to shut down Jackson, Baskett, and Lewis. Throw Westbrook into the equation, and there will be a mismatch somewhere that McNabb can exploit.

On the flipside, the Skins O-Line have to keep Jim Johnson's blitzes off of JC's ass. The Eagles have a very good secondary, with Dawkins bringing the hammer, and Asante Samuel one of the better cover guys in the league. JC needs to keep playing his game, and building his confidence.

That said, Beast Rivalry matches can get downright ugly...

Skins 16
Eagles 13

ESPN just now reported Westbrook participated in practice today and is expected to play this weekend. Shit.
