Of those three, I would go with Staley, and I definitely would not go with Clark. Warrick may not be a bad call. But, you never know which one of those Cincy receivers is going to show up on any given week, AND their game this week against the Browns could be a real low-scoring affair. Go with Staley... It's make-or-break time for Philly to show up and I think their offense will at least make a decent showing, meaning at least a predictably fair game for Duce!

I apologize but it's true. I still want to know what happenend to Staley.

I'm not one to come to my own defense on predictions, but I feel I'm being unfairly criticized here, so let me explain myself.
Based on games 1 and 2 (when the Eagles hardly utilized the running game at all) Staley was getting more work than Buckhalter and Westbrook. Andy Reid gives out next to nothing as far as information is concerned, and his team follows his lead. So when I make a prediction, it is based on past performance as much as anything else.
This week, everyone knew that the Eagles would have to run the ball more to have a chance to win. All indications were that Staley would get the work since he did in games 1 and 2. Both Staley and Buckhalter have been healthy, so that doesn't change things. Buckhalter had one carry and one receptions through two games. Since Reid doesn't say why Buckhalter is not being used, I have to assume that Reid feels more comfortable with Staley in the game. Westbrook is returning punts and kicks, and generally this would lead to less use in the offensive packages.
I'd be very surprised if ANYONE could accurately predict the Eagles offense. They spread the ball around in the passing game, so there is no way to tell who will have a big day and who won't. The rushing game is, apparently, RBBC now, so predictions will continue to be a crapshoot.
Based on this past weekend, Westbrook had 12 touches, Buckhalter 11, and Staley only 5. Should we expect the same ratio next week? Since they were successful this weekend, logic would say "yes", but I imagine it will be quite different next week.
