Bronco Billy Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Is Curtis practicing at full speed yet? It's that time of the year & his playing would alleviate some tight situations for me. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_am_the_swammi Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 From today's Philly Inquirer: Wide receiver Kevin Curtis, who has not played this season, worked with the scout team and regular offense. Eagles offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg said that Curtis "is close" to being ready. "He is feeling pretty good," Mornhinweg said. "He felt pretty good yesterday; he is feeling pretty good today. . . . He is a day-to-day situation." Gut feel says they hold him out this week, let him rwork another two weeks (Eagles on the bye Week 7), and he is ready to roll Week 8 vs. Atlanta.

That he's still running some with the scout team points towards limited action at best this week.

i_am_the_swammi Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Yes, he participated in practice in full...but with the scout team. He only ran a few reps with the starting offense. But the good news is, he was able to complete practice in good shape, pain-free. He'll likely be listed as questionable, and if he is activated, only play in 3-4 WR sets. the concensus here is that he sits another week, gets thru the bye, and comes back starting ahead of DeSean Jackson Week 8 (Jackson will be moved to his natural slot position). While Jackson got off to a hot start, teams are learning they can jam him at the line, and he is taking his rookie lumps learning how to get open in press-coverage....his effectiveness has decreased each an every week lined-up as a #1. He will be much more dangerous lined up in spaces where he has some room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursa Majoris Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 With Brown now out apparently, isn't it likely Curtis will get more playing time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_am_the_swammi Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I guess you could talk yourself into that....though the Eagles played the first two games of the year without both Brown and Curtis, so I doubt it really affects their thinking. The bigger plus is that the Eagles announced the Westy, Brown, and Andrews won't be making the trip west today....but no mention of Curtis, so it does indeed look like he'll see his first action of the year.

i_am_the_swammi Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 from philadelphiaeagles.com: Westbrook Among 4 Ruled Out For Game October 10, 2008 | Last Updated: 10/10/08 12:25 PM ET | Comments (4) By: BOB KENT Running back Brian Westbrook, receiver Reggie Brown, right guard Shawn Andrews and reserve safety J.R. Reed have all been ruled out for Sunday's game in San Francisco. All four players will not travel with the team. Meanwhile, receiver Kevin Curtis will travel and could see his first action of the season. On defense, end Juqua Parker, who did not practice this week, is expected to play Sunday. "Brian wants to go," head coach Andy Reid said. "But I have to do what I think is best for him and the football team. I think the bye week will help him. I think it will help take some of the sting out." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tford Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 With Brown out and Curtis likely limited, does that make Baskett a sneaky play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_am_the_swammi Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 With Brown out and Curtis likely limited, does that make Baskett a sneaky play? Yep...Lewis and Avant should also get some extra looks, and LJ Smith will likely be a bigger part of the gameplan. With Westbrook out, there may be a bunch of extra balls to WRs.
