The Philadelphia Daily News had a tidbit today on the splitting of time at RB between Brian Westbrook and LeSean McCoy:
Eagles head coach Andy Reid said RB Brian Westbrook (ankle) and RB LeSean McCoy will continue to split playing time. Reid said the split will continue “as long as we need to, and as long as [Westbrook] feels comfortable with his foot. We can increase things, but right now, that’s where we’re at, and we’ll see how it works this week.”

I think the time splitting is absolutely something that needs to continue. Westbrook’s health has been a big question for quite some time now, and he has a really talented player who can take some of the pressure off him. McCoy has shown his abilities and should continue to get his opportunities. I think this will only make Westbrook better and increase his longevity.
