Stopping Brian Westbrook

[HogsRLegends]

When you guys played the Eagles in week 2...did this guy have a big game? How do you defense this kind of player that is able to be a huge threat both running and receiving? The Eagles offense went from looking nearly unstoppable to pedestrian without him.

they are pedestrian without him.

Technically I cant give you a breakdown of how to keep him in check, no one stops him. Much like the better wr and rb around the league you have to tackle well and make sure he doesnt make a 5 yard play a 55 yard play for a TD.

he just has to be limited. he has the potential to rush for 100 yds and catch for a 100 yards. the more he touches the ball the better the eagles are.

So to me when we play him it always comes down to tackling. He always seems to be running in open space and he is excellent at using his blocks.
