How Much Does A Healthy Curtis Mean? - Philadelphia Eagles
All is right. All is good. Kevin Curtis feels like he is 100 percent for training camp. That is a positive development for the Eagles, for Curtis. Two years ago he was the go-to receiver in the offense, catching 77 passes by creating space with his speed and quickness, with his excellent route-running skills, with his sure hands.

I've been screaming about the Cowboys O Line for months now...

It’s simple – Offensive linemen simply don’t last long into their 30’s in the NFL anymore, and they see a sharp decline in effectiveness well before they turn 35. In the entire NFL, there are currently only 3 offensive linemen on an NFL roster that are 35 years or older.

Just THREE…

Kevin Mawae (38), Walter Jones (35), and Casey Wiegmann (35). Obviously, Mawae, is the ONLY offensive lineman in the NFL that’s 36 or older.

And if you look at the Cowboys’ starting O Line, you see that by the time the playoffs roll around, they’ll all be 31 or older…

Flozell Adams – 34
Kyle Kosier – 31
Andre Gurode – 31
Leonard Davis – 31
Marc Colombo – 31

The Cowboys are in BIG, BIG trouble with this unit.

The Redskins, meanwhile, aren’t much in much better shape… By the time September is over…

Chris Samuels – 32
Derrick Dockery – 29
Casey Rabach – 32
Randy Thomas – 33
Stephon Heyer – 25

With the Eagles D Line rotation that goes 9 deep and thrives in the 4th quarter against tired offensive lines, we could be in a position to rack up a ridiculous number of sacks this season.
