FLETCHER Cox is probably safe, but Cedric Thornton had better watch out, because Vinny Curry is making a move. Curry wants a role in the base 3-4 the Eagles use on Defense and not just a spot role when we go to our occasional 4-3 front.
Lost in the fact that Curry didn’t start last year, is the fact that he had 4 sacks while the three starters had a grand total of 6. (Cox led the starters with 3).
Curry has spent this offseason making his 280 pound frame trimmer and leaner, stronger and more explosive. Being that DC Bill Davis likes his DE’s up around 300 pounds, you’d think Curry would want to bulk up instead.
Unless there’s a change coming.
Maybe we’ll be playing more 4-3 than we did last year. Or maybe something more exotic, like folding in some 46 elements. Whatever it is, there has to be a reason that Curry thinks NOT bulking up will earn him more time on the field.
I look forward to seeing this play out.

He actually did bulk up. He only weighed 261 last season.

That’s not the message he and Dave Spadaro are conveying. Everything about the article I reference above says that Curry is SMALLER. The idea that he’s bulked up by avoiding red meat and dairy makes no sense.

IDK if Curry gets a realistic chance to start, but I certainly believe he will earn opportunities to play. Certainly more than the stiff Brandon Graham. As far as the 4-3 goes you might as well give it up. Chip is a 3-4 guy. He wants a 3-4 DC. He isn’t going to change that, and if they didn’t go 4-3 last season with so many players transitioning then I doubt it ever happens.

Yeah I guess so. Hell if it works, then I’ll be glad to be wrong.
