LT Jason Peters – 6'4 340lbs

LG Evan Mathis – 6'5 302lbs

C Jason Kelce – 6'3 282lbs

RG Danny Watkins – 6'3 310lbs

RT Todd Herremans – 6'6 320lbs

I think we have the most athletic line in the NFL. Only real big boy is Jason Peters and even he's incredibly athletic (Ex- Tight end).

Yea they are, it'll be interesting to see how big of a step Kelce and Danny can take with their first offseason....both should be able to at least improve their strength a decent amount.

Because size doesn't matter in Mudd's schemes, it's all about the athleticism.

Being that I tend not to watch Cowboys games every week - I can't comment on his week in week out play.

Personally I thought he made the "rookie" mistakes, so yes he should get better this year, but I'm not annointing him the at top tier OT just yet.

This, remember how Oher was the next great LT after having a great rookie year only to struggle at LT. Remember how good Roger Saffold looked his rookie year? Hell in Oakland Robert Gallery started at RT and looked solid and then flamed out terribly at LT.

I think it's fair to say that Tyron Smith is in another level compared to them as far as athletics are concerned.

Glad to see Mathis is coming back, he's definitely been interactive with the fans. Having line continuity is the key.

Reportedly, the Eagles told Mathis they would beat any deal the Ravens offered.

This move solidifies the Eagles offensive line for years to come. And that's important because the Eagles were 5-1 in 2011 (yes, 5-1) when the team started the first-team offensive line with quarterback Michael Vick.

We really played some bad teams down the stretch, teams without quarterbacks.

That stat is super meaningless.

Gotta play who's on your schedule, but we just happened to have an easier schedule than usual.

Vick did beat Romo in the first DAL matchup.

Yesss! Great deal, I'm actually surprised we didn't really overpay. Now go get Shady's deal done.

Consistency and chemistry on the O-line is definitely a good thing. Everything starts up front. Hopefully we can keep Vick upright this year.

That is the meaningless argument. The Jets and Dolphins were hot teams coming into those games. Romo went out because he was put out, not because the Giants won. If it was so easy and common for even the best teams to shut down top quarterbacks then they wouldn't be top quarterbacks would they?

But I don't look at just those last four games. They gave a reason for optimism but nothing concrete. Although if you really look, the Eagles had been showing improvement for the last 2/3 of the season not just those games.
