Oct 22, 2011 – Last week against the Philadelphia Eagles, the Washington Redskins limited Michael Vick to 237 yards passing with one touchdown and one interception, and only 54 yards rushing, which is significantly below his season average. Why then might we advocate starting a similarly run-happy Cam Newton at quarterback against the Redskins this week then? Because Newton isn’t Vick.

Since the beginning of last season, Vick has moved further and further away from being the quarterback we remember from his past years in Atlanta. No longer does he look to run the moment his first target fails to get open. Newton hasn’t quite taken that step yet though.

Newton has had at least one rushing touchdown in each of the last three weeks, and looks likely to get one on Sunday as well. Using Yahoo! standard scoring, Newton is the second highest scoring quarterback so far this season, behind only Aaron Rodgers. The fantasy football site numberFire projects Newton to earn 19.27 fantasy points this week, so if your league values rushing yards and touchdowns as highly as most, insert him into your starting lineup with confidence.

A war of words on Twitter between two Philadelphia Eagles beat writers escalated into a physical altercation Wednesday, with one writer landing a punch to his counterpart’s head.

Les Bowen of the Philadelphia Daily News and Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer had to be separated by their peers at the Eagles practice facility, according to local sports radio personality and WCAU-TV contributor Howard Eskin.

The two men were involved in a Twitter spat Tuesday, during which McLane called the elder Bowen an “old hack that hasn’t broken a story in years.”

Bowen, who vowed on Twitter to handle his “business in person” landed a punch to McLane’s head before the feuding beat writers were quickly broken up, according to Eskin.

Tempers flared after McLane posted a tweet Tuesday regarding the status of Eagles quarterback Michael Vick, in which he wrote Vick would likely start Sunday despite a bone bruise in his non-throwing hand.

The tweet prompted a line from Bowen which read, “Oh, and [by the way], nobody has any idea on Tuesday whether Michael Vick is starting this week.”

McLane apparently took offense to Bowen’s tweet, prompting the younger reporter to issue a slamming indictment.

“How about if Vick starts Sunday you have to say on [cable show] Daily News Live, ‘I’m an old hack that hasn’t broken a story in years, needs my editor to keep my blog fresh, and missed Vick on Monday because I was cluelessly tapping away on my computer and had to steal quotes from hard-working reporters who have a clue,’” McLane wrote directly to Bowen.

Bowen’s only response to McLane’s unflattering assessment was to say he would handle it “face to face.”

“I don’t intend to have any tantrums on Twitter, myself,” he replied to one follower. “If I have something to say to someone, it will be face to face.”

“I will handle my business in person, not thru yapping on Twitter,” Bowen wrote.

According to Philly.com, Bowen has covered the Eagles for the Daily News since 2002. He spent nearly 13 years covering the Flyers prior to taking the Eagles beat.

McLane began covering the Eagles for The Inquirer in 2009.
