Minus McNabb, Eagles rely more on Westbrook
PHILADELPHIA (AP) -Maybe Brian Westbrook was right all along.

Given the chance to run more, Westbrook is putting up big numbers for the Philadelphia Eagles. The versatile running back already has a career-best 839 yards rushing, including three straight 100-yard games.

Westbrook has never been satisfied with the amount of carries he gets in an offense that has relied heavily on the pass under coach Andy Reid. He often has said that he can be a workhorse-type back who carries the ball 20-25 times per game.

Now that Donovan McNabb is out for the season, Westbrook is Philadelphia's primary threat on offense and the Eagles have been more committed to running the ball lately.

Re: Eagles counting on Westbrook

In his last two games, Westbrook has carried the ball 44 times for 215 yards. Can he continue to shoulder the bulk of the Philly offense?
