Kevin Curtis, Mormon & Philadelphia Eagle

[General_Failure]

I hired a guy to plant drugs and guns in Andy's car. Obviously, he screwed up. I think he spent a little too much time staking the big guy out. When I asked him what went wrong, he said "I've got to do a better job of that." Then he coughed all over my shoes when I punched him in the gut.

Im totally cool with passing the ball 60% of the time so long as we can stop the run 60% of the time.

From Prisco:

What a great move by the Philadelphia Eagles to land receiver Kevin Curtis on Thursday.

The Eagles lost Donte Stallworth to the New England Patriots in free agency, so they replaced him with a player just as fast and one who is ready to take on a bigger role.

Curtis has blazing speed, much like Stallworth, but in four seasons with the Rams he was more of a third receiver. In Philadelphia, he'll get a chance to start.

When given the chance to start for the Rams in 2005 because of an injury to Isaac Bruce, Curtis caught 60 passes and had six touchdowns, one an 83-yard catch and run. One defensive coordinator I spoke to this week who has faced Curtis said he thought he was ready to become a No. 1 receiver.
Give the Eagles front office their usual props. They know how to find talent.

When somebody leaves, they always seem to find just the right guy to replace him. Curtis will be better than Stallworth was for the Eagles.

Remains to be seen, but I like the high praise.

this is going to be just like when Az Hakim exploded after leaving the Rams!

Is it fair to say that the general consensus now is that everyone isn't AS worried going into the season with Brown and Curtis instead of Brown and "fill in a rookie FA or late round draft choice" here?

If someone shakes loose I wouldn't mind adding someone else, but I think all the focus should be shifted towards providing a remedy on the defensive side. Hardcore.

They'll stop the run on 1st and 2nd downs. Sometimes on 3rd. Never on 4th. Sound good?

I'm OK with the WR's, I guess... as long as you consider that Westbrook and LJ are passing options as well.

Let's put it this way... I think the Eagles need at least 1 safety and at least 2 linebackers before they need anything else whatsoever on offense or special teams.  That's not necessarily as much a ringing endorsement of the offense as it is a brutal truth about the defense.

dare I say Schoebel also showed some pass-catching abilty late last season.

Behind the scenes during the Curtis negotiation

I'm pretty sure that's probably what happened.
