With star WR Terrell Owens injured, Eagles need to establish a running game and QB Donovan McNabb needs to find other targets downfield. Westbrook helps with both. He was team's leading rusher (812 yards, 3 TDs) and second-leading receiver (703 yards, 6 TDs) in regular season, behind Owens (1,200, 14 TDs). He was only RB in league with 700 yards in both categories. Last week, he had 70 yards rushing on just 12 carries. As he has all year, Westbrook also lined up at receiver, and caught five passes for 47 yards and a TD. Brooking, a Pro Bowl starter, uses both speed and power on the outside.
