How is this even possible? The only old veteran we lost this offseason was Tauscher. Is this strategy? Are all of Ted's teams going to be like this in perpetuity?

we're number 1, We're Number 1, WE'RE NUMBER 1!
I would bet that we have a fair number of games started per position compared to many older teams. Lee, Spitz, Colledge, Jennings, Jones, Grant, Jolly, Hawk and Collins have all started a lot of games at early ages. Not to mention old men like Woodson, Harris, Jenkins, Kampman, Clifton and Barnett.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow. -
Wow, I'm surprised. I thought this would be the year we broke that. There was less turn over this year, but I guess it takes a little time for a young roster to age.Formerly known as JustinHarrell.Comment

Seriously - I have to believe this is strategy. And personally, I'm all for it.
Certain football truths are heard repeatedly. "Defense wins championships" is a great example. The other one is:
"Football is a young mans game"
The concept of drafting younger players to develop into your starters earlier than most, has it's advantage in that you get their best years as players, typically beginning in the 2nd to 4th years depending on the position. Then when they begin to hit their stride, the team is financially positioned to sign them to a second contract at what seems to amount to a bargain price. You also get to cherry pick the best players on the team by using this method.
It appears to be working for the moment.

Most of our starting lineup is about to enter or is just entering their prime.
This is not a bad problem to have.

Experience can be overrated in the NFL. When you are old, you are old.

Look, no reason for that guy to even practice at all. He has seen it all and done it all, he simply needs to show up on sunday with that bionic arm.Originally posted by mraynrandExperience can be overrated in the NFL. When you are old, you are old.

I think when a football player grows gray hair on the tops of his shoulders he should be exempted from practice altogether."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."
