Sound off Iggy fans.
 
For me I'm glad to see him go. Just constantly killed the Giants. I just hope he doesn't sign in Washington or Dallas. Good riddence.

I know why they're doing it (30 years old) but I don't like it.
Are they angling for Tomlinson?

And of course, my AFC team continues to sit around and get worse and less relevant so they can plot their move out of town. :mad:

You like the Browns too huh phil :eek: :)

I love ya B-West!! Thanks for giving us your heart and soul for 8 years.

I understand the move though, he seems to have lost a step and is very injury prone and due 7.5 mil next season. I just hope he doesnt get any more concussions wherever he goes. Maybe a retirement and spot on comcast sports network would be ideal for us fans :)

I also wonder if they'll go for LT.. but I dont see that making sense unless they can get him cheap. McCoy and Weaver are the way to go.. they NEED to resign Weaver.

im sure we (washington) probably have a call out to tomlinson by now. Portis should be the next RB to hit the free agent wire. Anyone of these guys (westbrook or tomlinson) would be a good fit in KC next year, maybe Seattle?

honestly any RB over that forbidden age of 30 anymore should only be signed as a back up.

B-West will probably get hurt again, LT also, and they are both a step slower than the younger guys.

It is weird how it really happens only at that position.. or can it be a linebacker thing too?

altho a step slower, they're still good. they both got cut because of their salaries. i wouldn't be surprised to see washington go after LT. portis already conceded last fall that he was no doubt done for in washington. not only did he suffer injuries, he wasn't exactly bright. when he opened his mouth, generally his foot went in there quicker than it went downfield.

they are both second stringers at this point in their careers.. funny how just two years ago they were two of the best, time is weird for RB's. but what they would be GREAT for is to teach the young guys, and get 5 carries a game in the redzone and maybe pick up some decent yardage on some screen passes.

I kinda hope B-West shops around and doesnt get a great offer and signs with the Eagles again for much less $$. We could use his experience still.. he was GREAT with McCoy this past year.

i read the average 'life expectancy' for rb's is four years. it's amazing tho how quickly they go from hero to zero-look at shaun alexander. from highest praise to boos in one year.

also tells you how bad the rushing corps is in dc if we think one of them, past their prime, would be a step in the right direction!

Heard Viqueens are eyeing Westbrook.

dalakhani 02-23-2010 09:38 PM

LT is done and everyone knows it but LT. Its not like Sproles is an every down back and its not like they couldnt have worked something out if he had something left. When I hear all of these reports of all the places that LT may go, it makes me laugh. Seriously...where is he going to go and be productive? What contender? Green Bay is the only place I could think of that makes a little bit of sense. Even so, when you rush for 3.3 ypc behind that line, you are officially done.

The Eagles and westbrook are a little bit different. He had 7.5 million due. Either way, they knew this was coming and thats why they drafted mccoy last year. Still, couldnt he be a nice third down back somewhere?

For what? They have the best RB tandem in the league.

It makes all the business sense in the world. ANY contribution that we recieve from his roster spot, will be more than what he provided us with last year.

That said, 36 was THE MAN when he was younger and healthier. We appreciate everything he did for us, the joy he brought to us fans is immeasureable. He was one of the elites of the league when he was at his best, and his pass blocking was second to none. It's a damn shame that we had to part ways with the likes of Dawkins and Westbrook, ringless. Ugghhh...This upcoming year is IT. You will know what I mean when I find time to finish my 'blog' on the upcoming season.

THANK YOU WESTY!!!

Chester Taylor is an unrestricted Free Agent. Rumors are that Philly is quite interested.

Here's your Philly quote of the day.
"Well, Donovan is obviously here," Reid said when asked about the team's 2010 offense sans Westbrook. "Andy Reid's the leader of this organization," added new GM Howie Roseman. "He speaks for all of us, so that's settled."

Patrick333 02-24-2010 07:54 PM

I think Taylor would be a good fit for the Birds. They'll need depth so he could help.

Smooth Operator 02-27-2010 05:20 PM

Off topic … but how 'bout that Sean Payton … taking over a hapless 3-13 squad and sealing the deal in just his fourth year as a head coach.

Now that's what I call a "gold standard" performance… :tro:
