Thomas Tapeh is now the starting fullback.  How much does this hurt Westbrook, Philly?

Here's a little linkage on the Ritchie injury from "the Gridiron Newsstand":

Looking forward to hearing your response to Callie's query, Philster!

I've been keeping up with the news on the Team Reports page...
 
http://www.ffpro.com/teamreports/eagles/eagles-footballinfoframes.htm
 
My gut feeling is that Thomas Tapeh is a very underrated player and the only thing he lacks is experience.  The Ritchie loss will hurt Westbrook a little.  Take a look at Westbrook's rushing numbers from the Lion game after Ritchie went out.  (Of course they had NO fullback dressed as they deactivated Tapeh - numbers reason only - before the game.)
 
Parry had a very solid pre-season and is an effective blocker and can catch a pass too.
 
Tapeh is not as good a blocker (he hasn't seen the different blitz schemes and might miss an assignment here and there), but can run the ball well too.
 
In conclusion, I'd move BWB from a weak #1 FF RB to a very strong #2 FF RB.
