Stallworth's Return Possible For Sunday

 

October 20, 2006

By BOB KENT

 

 

Donté Stallworth practiced Friday but admits he's still not 100 percent. Head coach Andy Reid is taking a wait-and-see approach with the Eagles' starting receiver, who has not played since the Oct. 2 win over Green Bay.

 

After practice, Stallworth said he felt good, but termed himself as a game-time decision for Sunday's contest in Tampa. He is officially listed as questionable.

 

"Honestly, I'm not 100 percent, nor was I against Green Bay," Stallworth said. "The last thing I want to do is go out and re-injure it again and be down for another three or four weeks. But at the same, I miss playing.

 

"It will ultimately come down to coach (Andy) Reid and (head athletic trainer) Rick (Burkholder)."

 

Stallworth has missed three of the last four games with a hamstring injury and Reid was cautious when asked how much improvement Stallworth has shown.

 

"Yes. He's getting better," said Reid. "I wouldn't say he is 100 percent, but he is getting better. He did some work today and he did okay. We'll see how he does in the next couple days."

Yes...light work means he ran on the sidelines (Stallworth) ....Westbrook practiced in individual drills and some teamwork but missed the entire 11 on 11 segment which is at the end of practice.... sure sounds like his knee was giving him problems at the end of practice but make your own conclusion.

Westbrook could be dead in a ditch and I'd still start him.

 

:D

 

Me too. I'm ready for the game time scratch. If he doesn't play, due to bye week stuff I'm starting Chris Perry. :D

 

This Westbrook knee situation is beyond absurd. I'm about ready to go down to the Eagles facility and break his knees so we all know exactly what's going on.

This is what I got from KFFL at noon today...

 

Westbrook Practices; Downgraded to Questionable

 

Philadelphia Eagles RB Brian Westbrook (knee) has been downgraded to questionable for Week 7. He was, however, able to practice Friday, Oct. 20, according to a team release.

I'd play Westbrook even if he were a 6 month old baby.

 

At least if he were full grown and dead, his lifeless body could get lucky and make a catch while laying on the ground. I guess it wouldn't be a big gain though...

Yes...light work means he ran on the sidelines (Stallworth)

 

Please point out in the press release where it mentioned he did "light" work on the sidelines.....or are you ad libbing?

 

Quote from Reid:

 

"Yes. He's getting better," said Reid. "I wouldn't say he is 100 percent, but he is getting better. He did some work today and he did okay. We'll see how he does in the next couple days."

Dam you homers are something. you haven't learn yet. :D Stallworth will not start and if he does he will be out by the end of the 1st quarter.

Oh, I have no doubt whether he plays or not....you'll see him in sweats on the sidelines yet again (and probably next week, too, since they have the bye Week 9). As a homer, I'd rather he sit, so we have him when it counts. Brown, Baskett & co. seem to have done more than enough to keep the machine rolling sans Stallworth. If you come up with the reasons why the Saints won last week, well down your list would be absence of Stallworth, or the poor play of the Eagle WRs. So let him heal all he wants.

 

All I was doing was calling a guy on the carpet for changing a quote so it can fit his argument better. If you wanna call him a bust or lame or whatever, by all means, go ahead. Just don't blatantly misinterpret the facts reported unless you want some grief.

Just flucking with you swammi. donte will be back week 10 or 11 if he just sits and rest, but past history is he tries to get out there to quick and keeps aggravating the injury,thus making him miss more time.
