This is a great thing if, and it's a huge if, he can stay healthy.
Of all the preposterous assumptions of humanity over humanity, nothing exceeds most of the criticisms made on the habits of the poor by the well-housed, well-warmed, and well-fed.

Dixon is decent, but I think a year of experience behind Gore and Westbrook could make a world of difference. If both are heathy

Would love taking a chance on Westbrook. He's amazing when healthy.

Great signing! One of my favorite RB's. Can't believe he didn't garner more interest.

I sure hope he hasn't lost a step. If so, this could be a great signing.

Good pickup:

Westy doesn't really fit in with the style of ground game Sing is trying to utilize. But he is a proven guy, that can be a nice change of pace for Gore, and to a lesser extent Dixon. Gore/Dixon are more bruising/downhill runners.

I'm actually hoping to see more of Dixon than Westy, but Brian provides some good depth/presence/change of pace. If he's somewhat healthy of course.
