Brian Westbrook Not Practicing
Sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere, but this is probably an area of concern heading into a potentially snowy game where the run game could be the difference between a win and a loss.
Maybe his veteran experience doesn't require him to practice very much, but I can't imagine the rookies on the OLine will be able to pick it up "on the run" (haha) on Sunday.
Is it possible Anthony Dixon plays a bigger role than we thought? It's also possible this decision plays into the "keeping him fresh" angle Coach Singletary brought up over the last couple of press conferences. Thoughts?

Didn’t he always do this in Philly?

He’s got a 100 carry max….

Not just Dixon
Come on Team. The rest of the offense has to pick it up a few notches, playcalling included.

he does start to get incentives when he hits some milestones
although if he’s playing well I sure’s heck hope the team doesn’t use this to take him out of the game
I see a lot of confusion on the field. That's the worst part.

How big of a
confidence boost was it to hear that Singeltary had confidence in Dixons blitz pickup? sound like Dixon knew exactly what he needed to work on and he put in the work and now the team has confidence in him.
I say Nate Davis teams up with Dixon and follows his methods exactly. put in the work, and you’ll get rewarded.

Yeah
That was huge. That was one of the biggest “scary areas” with losing The Tank, to me.
With Clay Matthews coming at Troy with force, we’ll need all the help we can get.

I think I want Westbrook to be the 3rd down back
because of experience diagnosing blitzes/bitzers
Dixon can mix in on some 1st and 2nd down/goal line plays
I see a lot of confusion on the field. That's the worst part.
