ganesh Posted March 24, 2005 Posted March 24, 2005 http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2005/scor....nfl/index.html 286289[/snapback] Nor are they going to make TH the starting RB. Currently Westbrook is a better catcher from the backfield than TH. The eagles thrive on the RB catching out of the backfield. I don't think there is too much difference between TH and Westbrook for PHI to make the argument in favor of TH.
stuckincincy Posted March 24, 2005 Posted March 24, 2005 IIRC, Corey Buckhalter (sp?) has been cleared to play. They drafted one of the higher-ranked FB's last year or the year before - Thomas Tapeh - so if vet FB Dorsey Levens hangs it up, they should be set.
IDBillzFan Posted March 24, 2005 Posted March 24, 2005 It's a good thought, but not only do I not see it happening, I would hate like hell to see another former Bills RB get to a team that is a favorite to win the SB next year. Hey. It could happen. If they can just learn time management.
