The Eagles say they want to increase Brian Westbrook's touches this season.
Westbrook, despite all his catches, has never topped 250 touches in a season. "I'd like to get him more touches out of the backfield is what I'd like to do. We'll see how it works out," coach Andy Reid said.

It's not hard - creat a few plays. Name them 'hb wham', or hb dive, something simple and maddenish...

...and have mcnabb turn around and hand it to him. This way, you don't have to pass it.

It's called a 'running play.'

isnt that what the eagles say every year about him ??
keep getting rid of everybody else and it will be real easy for him to get
lots of touches.

Wierd for them to be talking about him now, maybe its a way for them to playoff any real interest they have in a RB. Not necessarily in round 1 but in the 1st day of the draft, they do have a lot of ammo to move up and grab one.

Why if they have no running backs teams will stack the line with 8 guys and beg the Beagles WR to bet them.

Prediction: Westbrook doesn't make it through the season. He isn't built to take those extra touches.

that's why Reid wants him to get more touches out of the backfield
