Eagles rebuilding on the fly?

I have a quick layover in Houston en route to New Orleans, so I'm catching up on a little NFC East reading material while downing a suspect turkey and mushroom burger. Frequent Beast contributor Adam Schefter had an interesting nugget in his 10 Spot column today on how the Philadelphia Eagles have rebuilt their offense without having to go through serious growing pains:

The Eagles have been successful for years and yet they've turned over their roster with most barely noticing. When the Eagles played the Chiefs on Sept. 27 and scored 34 points, the average age of Philadelphia's starters on offense was 24.5 years. The unit featured Jeremy Maclin (21), LeSean McCoy (21), DeSean Jackson (22), Brent Celek (24) and Kevin Kolb (25). In fact, Jason Peters (27) and Jamaal Jackson (29) were the offense's graybeards. In other words, the Eagles' offense is built for the long haul. But it also is built for now. Through four games, the Eagles have averaged 31.75 points. At this rate, Philadelphia would score 508 points -- 92 more than the season franchise record 416 that the Eagles scored last year. This is a novel concept in places such as Oakland and Cleveland, but this team rebuilt without ever going through any of the real suffering.


Of course, the presence of Donovan McNabb and Brian Westbrook give the Eagles an older look -- but Adam hits on an important point. The Eagles have continued to field a competitive each year while re-making the offense. And something that's not talked about enough is how good a job the Eagles have done at developing young offensive linemen. The presence of players such as Nick Cole and Max Jean-Gilles have allowed the Eagles to get through some tough spots in terms of injuries.

The taterskins have shown us what happens when you don't put a premium on creating depth along the offensive line. I believe they may be fielding the worst offensive line in the league Sunday against the Chiefs.

LaCanfora on NFLN said that he thinks the Eagles will look to trade for Kyle VandenBosch prior to the deadline on Tuesday.

Interesting.

He'd be a solid fit at LDE opposite Killa.

Warpaint Illustrated said Kansas City general manager Scott Pioli got calls from the Eagles, the Detroit Lions and Miami Dolphins inquired about Derrick Johnson, who is in the Kansas City doghouse.

Get, get, get!!

I've read nothing about it...but with the Pats releasing Galloway and making Adalius Thomas a healthy scratch the other day, think something might be brewing with the Pats involving Curtis? That's just connecting some really loose dots, but it wouldn't shock me.

[reese125]

galloway still has more speed than curtis at this point...there is no reason for him

[Zanshin]

Curtis is better than Galloway at this point, and your argument doesn't make any sense, particularly since the Pats already cut Galloway.

[reese125]

fully aware they cut him--that was my point

curtis is shot and so is galloway..and to go even further since curtis can no longer play the flank he has to be used inside and they already have eldeman and welker

[Zanshin]

They cut Galloway because he can't catch or run routes, it had nothing to do with his speed. Curtis would be a great addition to that team-- he's completely suited to their style of offense and to being a contributing player, rather than a primary receiver.

[methdeez]

he's completely suited to their style of offense

Meaning they have two reicevers just like him already: Welker and Edelman.
So why would they want him?

[The BIGSTUD]

I'd most want Kampman, but I'd take Derrick Johnson. I'd love Merriman, but I don't know where they use him in a 4-3.
