With star running back Brian Westbrook going down, this opens the door for the other backs to step up. Westbrook had surgery on his ankle to clean out somethings that he sprained last season. Booker is receiving most of the first team reps, as LeSean McCoy still tries to learn the offense. At times he seemed lost during practice as they went at 70% speed-wise. Since Westbrook will not be participating, he will be able to give McCoy a lot of advice [which will be much needed]. His biggest problem is still not picking up blitzes. He will really have to fix that in order to play. With Westbrook, McCoy's learning curve should go up and he should be ready to become the team's backup to Westbrook.
Note: Westbrook is not to miss any time because of the surgery.
