The other situation then arises of which position suffers a blow? Do they only carry eight or nine linemen? Maybe only four corners? The point being, in order to pick up Westbrook's slack, another position and possibly some good players, will suffer.
“Let’s just see what happens, and then we’ll take it from there,” Andy Reid said. “We obviously know what’s out there, as far as other running backs; we’ve done our homework there. But we’re not going to do anything here until we see what’s going on with Brian.”
“I’m not that worried about it.”
“We’ll reconvene after the surgery.”
Asante Samuel Filling the Vocal Void?
Samuel has taken it upon himself as of late to step up and become the defense's vocal leader since its leader for the past 13 years is now playing in the midwest.
Samuel can be heard on the field and from the sidelines jawing playfully at the offense, mostly at the wide receivers, at the defense, or just offering words of wisdom and advice.
"It's hard to replace a guy and expect for another guy to come in and do what he did," Samuel said. "Everybody is their own person."
Samuel seems to recognize that while he is not Weapon X or a guy who will come out like a man possessed, he does have something to offer to a very young defense and a young team overall.
He's stepping up and becoming a leader, something the Eagles had hoped he would do with Dawkins' departure to the Mile High city.
Mike Zordich Is Back and On the Coaching Staff
Mike Zordich returned to the Eagles as a coaching intern. He played safety for the Eagles in the late 90s.
He's returning as a secondary coach intern.
This would seem to just be more bad news on the get-well-soon-JJ front.
Zordich was a good, smart player and should help out, however.
