Brian Westbrook explains what makes this Eagles team so dominant

Brian Westbrook says this season’s Eagles team has it all.

The two-time Pro Bowler, and member of the Philadelphia Eagles Hall of Fame, now sees a Philly offense which like him, could punish opponents in multiple ways.

“They have the ability to run the ball with the quarterback; they have the ability to run the ball with the running back, they have been able to block every front that is designed to stop the run,” said Westbrook, a member of the Eagles 75th anniversary team.  

“Then when you look at the passing game you can affect the team on all three levels – the short game, the medium game, and the deep game. They have been able to score on all three levels.”

Westbrook also noted the strong connection between Jalen Hurts and AJ Brown, comparing them to Philadelphia legends Donovan McNabb and Terrell Owens.

The diminutive former Eagle was a dual threat – as a runner, having two 1200-yard seasons, and as a pass catcher. He posted 600+ yard receiving seasons four times.
