Found July 11, 2009 on The Sporting Truth:
Despite my gut instinct, I have to admit that I didn’t have the courage to make this statement until Eagles aficianado, Tommy Lawlor, scribed a similar question regarding Kevin Curtis’ 2007 production.  I haven’t been biting my tongue but I have reserved my writing. I’ve been thinking this way prior to the Eagles drafting of Jeremy Maclin, but now the deal is sealed [...]

  • I guess we will see. I personally think he'll do just fine. The only thing I don't like is that we're not too big at the top of the depth chart. Each of them are just under 6'0" or right at it. But I guess you can always use Baskett in a tight spot.
  • look at his numbers when he is healthy, then tell me if you still feel that way.
  • Curtis has been nothing but a hard working player for us. Although with that said i think he would be better used in the slot. I just dont see him getting out of press coverage well enough to stay outside. He definately is a no show when he gets double coverage. With that said until we get a true #1 receiver, and jackson or maclin could certainly become one, i think hes our best option. Hank and Avant are great players but remeber they make big plays only when given mismatches and that doesnt happen if they are lined up outside on a #1 or #2 corner. In my dream scenario we would definately move curtis to slot and put maclin and jackson outside with their blazing speed. But thats just me and im not Andy Reid,ive got total faith in Reid so i cant wait for opening day!

    Bleed Green!
  • i agree. baskett and avant are descent players, but not starters. and maclin is unproven.
