Written By Bob Cunningham The Eagles now boast the biggest line in the NFL, at an average weight of 333 pounds per guy.
That beef is gonna be used to push the pile when it matters most.
This does not only pertain to the red zone and goal line, but also on third and fourth and one situations. The Eagles had a difficult time moving the pile last year, but with this huge offensive line that should no longer become an issue.
Last season Reid was forced to call passing plays in short-yardage situations because of inconsistencies on the offensive line and at the tight end position. This year, he'll be able to hand the ball to Weaver right up the gut and push the pile for the necessary yardage.
That kind of power football will be tough to stop with the size that the Eagles now boast. Also, let's not forget that Weaver is 240 pounds, and McNabb is 250. That kind of momentum behind a 333-pound average and short-yardage is no longer an issue.
