Redskins Coach Mike Shanahan said Wednesday that free agent running back Brian Westbrook has not determined where he will play, although Washington remains a possibility according to Zach Berman of the Washington Post. It could help the Redskins that brother Byron Westbrook plays for Washington. "I'm trying to talk to his brother a little bit, trying to get in good with him," Shanahan said. "I'm not sure it's helped a whole lot, but I'll keep on trying." Shanahan added that Westbrook provides a specific value on third downs with his ability to catch the ball out of the backfield and block. Shanahan also was supportive of the entire running back corps when asked about Larry Johnson's progress. "We have some healthy competition," Shanahan said. "We have some guys with a lot of ability. I'm looking forward to when the pads are on, show us what they can do in game situations." Source: The Redzone
I thought thats what Willie was good for? His third down abilities to catch the ball and things of that nature.
