Indispensable Westbrook

Journeyman Jeff Garcia has been given a lot of credit for keeping the Eagles afloat since they lost Pro Bowl quarterback Donovan McNabb last month. And perhaps, rightfully so. With little preparation time, Garcia has started two tough games -- against the Colts and Panthers -- and came out a modest 1-1.
But make no mistake. The 6-6 Eagles would be nowhere without running back Brian Westbrook.
"We're not out of it. I've said it in weeks past, that we're fighters and we're going to continue to fight until the end and you know we're going to go out and take every game one at a time," Westbrook said. "Let the chips fall where they may at the end. You know we're not going to let up. We have four games left, and we're going to keep fighting and keep shooting and hopefully at the end, we'll be in the playoffs."
If they make it, it'll be on his shoulders. Westbrook, in his fifth season out of Villanova, has 906 rushing yards, 586 receiving yards and nine total touchdowns. He has done so with a nagging knee injury, and in Monday's 27-24 win over Carolina, he suffered a toe injury.
The Eagles travel to meet the Redskins on Sunday. Philadelphia is -1.5 on
