Brute Smarts

So it was Jon Runyan who told Brian Westbrook to take a knee on the one yard line and not to score. Glad to see the Eagles’ right tackle has more clock management acumen than the head coach or offensive coordinator. Runyan isn’t just a mountain of a man but proved himself as someone with an impressive football intellect.

Note: it was only last month when Redskins defensive coordinator Gregg Williams was quoted as telling his defense that if the Eagles were dumb enough to try to score from the Redskins 10 yard line with 2:24 to play and the Skins out of timeouts that they should let the Eagles score. The Eagles were, the Redskins did, and the Skins were able to get the ball back with 2:18 to play and a chance to tie the game with a TD and 2 point conversion.
