I am going to post my proof. However i am going to put a disclaimer that he hasnt played enough games yet to make the claim outright. It is possible the data is misleading or anomolous, however considering everything i have heard scout say backs it up i am going to post what i have.
Game breakdowns 1 - 162 yards - 20 touches 2 - 138 yards - 17 touches -a bit worn down after 37 touches in 2 weeks 3- 55 yards - 20 touches production way down 4 - 182 yards - 31 touches - way too many 5 - 90 yards - 17 touches 6 - 50 yards - 16 touches 7 - DNP injury. As you notice any time he has 20 + carries in a week 2 weeks later his production is down because of wear.
That's well and good, but I still believe it isn't because he's being worn down. There are no real stars with this offense, because McNabb spreads the ball. Secondly, I think as teams started to realize the threat Westbrook brought, they covered him alot better. Since they start to put more pressure on him, Reid throws in Levens/Mahe/(would've been Buckhalter) like they did last year. It's just more things that the defense has to worry about. Rather than worrying about just Westbrook, Reid puts in multiple backs and basically blows the defenses plan to shit. Those are just my thoughts, as you are right when you say he hasn't had played enough games. Even so, if he is wearing down, it will just be a matter of time until he bulks up and learns to take the punishment.

We haven't been in the Super Bowl, but tell me who else has completely dominated their division like the Eagles have lately?

Yea, I was speaking more recently though. '81 was a great year, but lately people think Philly is "cursed" when it comes to the Super Bowl

I'm still not too confident about this game if he's only going to get 5-8 touches (if that)
Still wont be able to carry the load. I look for pittsburgh to run all over the eagles. The eagles run D is one of the worst, and the Steelers Running attack is one of the best.

bla bla bla BULL SHIT...time will tell eagles always come out when the odds are against them(except and only except the NFCCG)
Odds arent against the eagles. Odds are on thier side. They will just fail. Or they wont what the hell do i know.
