Westbrook: Eagles have 'turned a corner'

Sounding loose and relaxed on his radio show last night, Brian Westbrook didn't seem concerned that he had rushed for just 36 yards on 18 carries and added only 10 more receiving yards against the Giants on Sunday in the NFC division playoff victory.

In a way, Westbrook sounded relieved.

"I think this team has kind of turned a corner," Westbrook said on ESPN-AM (950). "Before, when I struggled, this team has struggled. But I have struggled these last two games and this team has done very good."

Westbrook also applauded the play-calling that kept giving him the ball even though he wasn't breaking any big runs. He said a "scaled-back" playbook has made Eagles offensive players perform with less caution.

"It's really almost made all the difference in the world," Westbrook said.

The Eagles' star running back said he didn't think his injuries, which have kept him from practicing much, were the reason for his low numbers.
