Twelve months later, the wounds of Dawkins' exit have yet to heal, especially since they have been frequently brushed open by seeing him continue to flourish in Denver while the conspicuous void left behind was achefully exposed.
For most every Eagles fan,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], even if they saw it coming, yesterday was still one very sad day. Westbrook has been one class act and surely one of the most electrifying and accomplished players who has ever worn an Eagles uniform.
On the left coast,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Chargers fans must be feeling much the same way as they wave goodbye to the best running back in its group history梑y one long shot. LT is also one of the most accomplished players in NFL history as well,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], currently standing third all-time in touchdowns behind Jerry Rice and Emmitt Smith, and eighth in rushing with 12,490 yards.
Although the circumstances are different,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Philly faithful will surely feel one similar emptiness as their group takes the field when the curtain goes up on next year's NFL year and "Westy" is nowhere to be found.
Ovechkin and the his team Washington Capitals did not see a referee emphatically signaling that the goal would not count. Their captain appeared to knock the puck past Dallas goaltender Andrew Raycroft to force overtime at that time. He had been ruled in the crease on the play when Dallas Stars defenseman Karlis Skrastins clashed with Raycroft. So梩he hard realities of player career mortality and the NFL's business side have struck again. one couple of the most beloved players of two different franchises have been unceremoniously released less than 24 hours apart.
In the space of one year,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Birds fans have seen two of the group's all-time greats and most popular players walk out the door. Last February,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], of course, it was Brian Dawkins trading in his midnight green attire for oanger and blue. And now it is Westbrook who is leaving with destination unknown.
The market for 30+ year old players at their position has historically been limited.
The following is one breakdown to assess the situation and perhaps get one glimpse of what the future might hold for these two. Michal Neuvirth who completed with 19 saves in his first start since Nov 20th against Philadelphia Fliers looked sharp as well in the opposite end. Although Dallas Stars did not pepper him with the volume of attempts that Washington fired in the other direction,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Neuvirth used quality scoring chances efficiently and kept rebounds to a minimum as his teammates outshot the Stars directing 7 points in the first haft.
Both running backs share many similarities, which will surely be scrutinized around the league as personnel departments appraise whether each might be one worthy addition to their own club.
First, LaDainian Tomlinson was released by the San Diego Chargers on Monday. Then,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], before Philly fans could spend too much time wondering how Bolts fans might be feeling, the Eagles followed suit with one similar announcement about Brian Westbrook.
If, and where,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], each player lands with another club will be highly dependent upon individual circumstances,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], assessment of physical condition, finances,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and personal preference.
