Westy back next week?


EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The Eagles quietly confirmed that they anticipate Eagles running back Brian Westbrook playing next weekend against the San Francisco 49ers at Lincoln Financial Field.

Only a medical setback would keep Westbrook — who has sustained two concussions this season — from returning to action.

Sunday night Westbrook sat out his fourth straight game. He’s been sidelined six of the last seven games with concussion issues.

Westbrook is trying out the DNA helmet that according to reports uses the same shock-absorbing technology used to protect Army paratroopers and Navy SEALS.

The only Running back close to that is Buckley, that was what I previously guessed, but who knows what he is talking about.

those DNA helmets are amazing...

they even have concussion sensors in them… Big bucks to get those. Although here in seminole county FL there trying to push all the football teams to switch to the “concussion resistant helmets” which are the DNA, Ion and Xenith helmets.

all he did was cuss everyone out, say how they suck and never accomplished anything in high school, he is already behind to graduate his senior year b/c he fucked up all of his grades… He kinda deserved it b/c he always wished that shit on others too.

Awesome….. If we were expecting Westbrook to be taking fire on the field on Sunday.

I heard these DNA helmets

also create an electromagnetic force shield around the person wearing it…guaranteeing that no one would even tackle Westy.

And just as a counter-counter measure, in case anyone is wearing an REM (reverse electromagnetic) helmet to offset the force shield it offers the absolute newest 10FV technology. For those of you unaware of this, it allows someone to see 10 seconds into the future so Westy will know EXACTLY where the tackle is coming from before it gets there.

AWESOME!!!!

SICK

You sure Westy wasn’t wearing this helmet in 2007?

The Eagles are the first team in NFL history to have a running back and a wide receiver with 500 yards apiece in the same season before their 22nd birthdays.

Twenty dollars on Westbrook getting his 3rd concussion this week

Anybody?
