Should Brian Westbrook come back to football after this recent concussion?


Some insiders are saying that Brian Westbrook's career is in jeopardy because of the risk of playing after a second concussion. The few facts to keep in mind are that Westbrook hasn't sustained a concussion until this year, but now he has two within 3 weeks; Westbrook is also looking at the long term effects of continuing to play after these injuries and risking lasting health issues. He has played 8 great years, but has been consistantly beat up and injury prone.

My prediction is that, doctor approved, he might return after a few games if the Eagles rack up a couple of victories and get them back in the playoff picture. If not, I don't know if he'll want to risk his long term health for a team that is not going to have a shot to win the big game. And if that's the case, it could be the end of a great career.

How's that Chris Simms pick working out for you Woody?


Hey Woody Paige.... I was at the Broncos/Redskins game on Sunday. And guess what? I saw YA BOY Chris Simms go 3-13 for 13 yards, 1 interception, and a QB rating of 7.5 when he came in to replace an injured Kyle Orton. These great Simms stats proceeded to lose the game that the Broncos should have taken from the Redskins. I understand that Simms hasn't been taking 1st team reps, but come on! 7.5 QB rating? That's pitiful...

I'm not going to completely bash Woody because I usually enjoy what he has to say. But on this instance I have to get in my I TOLD YOU SO!

Wow... Woody Paige is suggesting that 6-2 Broncos start Chris Simms because they are only mediocre with Orton



I usually like Woody Paige for his commentary, but I think he is Mr. Over-reaction this week chanting to put in Chris Simms at QB for the 6-2 Broncos. He knows McDaniels is a one QB guy, and that Orton's stats are still 9 TDs and 4 INT's. Pretty reasonable production with a solid W-L record.

Don't be that guy Woody.... Please...

Holmgren to be GM and new coach of Browns?


Just a possibility... With the GM getting kicked out and Man-genius not living up to his name, it is very possible that Mike Holmgren could be the future coach and GM for the Browns. Holmgren still wants to be a head coach and he is at the top of the list of people that the Browns want for their GM. Now whether he wants to take over a team that is as depressed as the current economy is the real question...

No Mistakes + Chris Johnson running = W for Vinnie Young


Vinnie Young is looking decent, but not great. He had 155 total yards passing and running the ball, and one touchdown with no interceptions. These are reasonable stats that are good for a game manager. But Young must pat CJ on the back for getting 239 yards from scrimmage and 2 touchdowns. The running back won the game, and the quarterback didn't make any vital mistakes. Great game managing Vinnie, but are you going to play humble like this the rest of the year? We shall see...
