they dont know who westbrook is or where he came from, they just know he's a RB. they have no idea that hes awesome on screens, sweeps and anything involving speed, thats why they ran three straight screens to gore
The problem is Gore is just as good at everything Westbrook is good at. Do you use the RB that has set nearly every major rushing record in franchise history or the concussion guy. But i do agree with you, they should spell Gore a bit and let Westbrook do his thing...
hes not as fast as westbrook. westbrook has top end speed and gore doesnt as we've all seen him get taken down 10 or 20 yards short of the endzone on long runs when he runs out of gas. i think westbrook is very shifty and before last years concussions he was a top 5 back in this league. the guy can only help, gore needs rest too even if he doesnt want it. also gores problem is that he follows the play to the exact spot. this is great to coaches but if a play is not there he doesnt improv like dixon does, he just runs into his linements backs.
Yea, when we drafted Dixon everyone said he was a North/South runner. But in the preseason he broke it to the outside and was able to turn the corner on several occasions. He's shifty for a big guy.
