Don’t bring Westbrook back too soon

Brian Westbrook, the heart and soul of the Philadelphia Eagles offense has suffered two concussions in the the past three weeks and recently visited two concussion specialists.

After suffering two concussions in three weeks, Westbrook needs to rest and sit out for the season

They both said that they expected a full recovery from Westbrook and would re-evaluate him in two to three weeks.

But I don’t think that this re-evaluation should decide whether Westbrook sits out for the rest of the season, because the bottom line is that he NEEDS to.

Concussions aren’t something that you fuck around with, Troy Aikman, Steve Young, and especially Bill Romanowski will tell you that.

Romanowski estimated that over the course of his NFL career he suffered 8-20 concussions, not exactly something that we want Westbrook to go through.

Westbrook should just sit out the rest of the season and let the kid, McCoy get his reps, and then come back next season fully healed and ready to lead the Eagles to the Super Bowl in 2010.
