I wouldn\'t say Westbrook has run out of gas...he was out for one week. He may be back in the mix next sunday in Pittsburgh, and if not, he\'ll be back the following week. Obviously, that\'s a big loss to us. Our #1 and #2 running backs entering the preseason are out this past week against one of, if not THE best defense in the league, and we still ended up with 98 rushing yards on 23 attempts. I think that\'s a true testament to our front office, and our very solid roster.
Also, I think the talk of the Eagles\' strength of schedule is tired. It\'s a known fact that this year, there are very few GREAT teams in the NFL. Last season, there were a lot of teams that really established themselves atop the NFL. The Packers, Eagles, Panthers, Rams, Titans, Chiefs, Patriots, and Colts all seemed like legit super bowl contendors. This year? The only teams that have played consistant enough to be in that group are the Eagles, Jets, Pats, and Steelers. The rest of the teams, except for the cellar dwellars (Cards, 9ers etc) seem to be on about the same level. So the Eagles don\'t have that one standout game like the other "greats" this year have. At least not yet. They will next week, and Westbrook or no Westbrook, expect the Eagles to march out of Pittsburgh 8-0.
