Eagles Wake-Up Call: Amid Disappointment, Curry Stands Tall

Still in his No. 75 game-worn jersey and pads, Vinny Curry stood in the middle of the Eagles’ locker room with a crowd of reporters surrounding him.

In previous weeks, the questions were always the same. Why haven’t you played yet? When will you get a chance? Are you getting antsy?

But on Monday night, they were different. Curry, a second-round pick, dressed on gameday for the first time all season, seeing snaps at right defensive end behind Trent Cole. He finished the game with five tackles – the most of any of the team’s linemen.

Vinny Curry Finally Gets the Call…Or Tweet

Vinny Curry has been waiting 10 weeks for some good news. He finally got it…on Twitter.

“I was like, ‘I wonder if it’s true?’” said Curry. “You’re kind of anxious to get back to work to see if it’s true. Today, Coach Wash told me I would be up, and I’m just excited.”

The second-round pick out of Marshall will be activated for the first time all season. It has been a long wait to get his first taste of NFL action, but his moment has finally arrived.

Graham, Curry Continue To Wait Patiently

One of Todd Bowles’ primary goals for the defense will be to free up the pass rush.

You know the numbers by now, but in case you need a refresher: the Eagles tied for the league-lead with 50 sacks last season. This year, they have seven. Only the Jaguars (five) have fewer.

From what we gathered in the locker room, though, it sounds like Bowles’ changes will have more to do with scheme than personnel. That means don’t expect an expanded role for Brandon Graham, or a role at all for Vinny Curry - for now.
