Staley is the guy you give the ball to in Q4 to milk the clock and wear out a defense. Yes, he wore out his welcome in Philly but the Steelers were really happy with him. Corey Dillon wore out his welcome in Cincy and this year he's going to the Super Bowl.

Westbrook is a WR

No, he's a running back who happens to catch the football better than any other back in the league. His talents out of the backfield don't negate his talents as a halfback. He's a terrific runner.

Duce didn't wear out his welcome in Philly, he just wanted a chance to be an every-down starter. He ended up being a complimentary back in Pittsburgh, just as he would have been in Philly. The Steelers may have been happy with him in that role, but that's not what they paid him feature back money to be. What they're happy with, more than anything, was how well the team did this season.

That averaged 6 yards a carry against the 8th best rushing defense in the NFL Sunday.

You might have him confused with the Westbrook slackard that pretended to be a WR for the Redskins years ago.
