NFL is rapidly becoming a passing league. Teams dont wanna tie up $$ in a RB who is injured often like westbrook, or LT who is slowing down big time.
Westbrook is not a regular runninback. He was like the leading receiver for the Eagles when healthy. He is NOT a "runinngback" in a traditional sense. A very useful tool if you ask me, especially to go along with Jerome Harrison.
Very true. Gotta have an offense that would take advantage of his skills on the field. Some teams and their offenses dont utilize their RB's as recivers often. Will the browns going fwd to such thing?
It isnt just throwing outta the backfield or flanking him out. Reid did a good job in putting Westbrook into spots where he would be successful. A shift, or motion, and having the DB's covering the wideouts and a LB or Safety on him. Takes a good offensive scheme to put a guy like wesbrook in perfect situations.
I havent seen that outta the browns offense..but then again IM not a fan of them..but do get to watch em semi often
