In the Bengals game [Brian Westbrook] averaged a healthy 4.3 yards per carry. Similarly, on Sunday Westbrook was averaging 4.1 yards per run at halftime. He then had gains of three, seven and minus-one yards on the Eagles' first second-half possession before getting just one carry on the Eagles' final 30 plays.

In the Eagles' eight wins, they've thrown the ball 306 times and run 255 times. That's a 54-46 pass-run ratio.

In reality, there are a few likely reasons that [Andy Reid] won't cite for the run-pass disparity. Westbrook isn't totally healthy, and with his bad ankle can't cut like he usually does. The offensive line is banged up and inconsistent. Tight end L.J. Smith has struggled with his blocking. The team's best blocking receiver, Hank Baskett, didn't play Sunday. Field position was awful and Reid wanted to get a big chunk of yards to get out of the soup. Teams are playing eight in the box.
