I constantly see people acting like we have some state of emergency because our starting wideouts are both over 30, and I just wonder what the big deal is about this. Torry Holt and Hines Ward are both 30. Muhsin Muhammed, like T.O., will be 33. Joe Horn and Marvin Harrison are both 34. My point is, receivers don't get hit like running backs do, and 32 or 33 just means they know what the heck they are doing for the most part. Don't try to tell me Terry Glenn and T.O. are slow and old, because I can clearly see that they're both playmakers.
Besides, it's not as if we don't have young guys developing. Crayton seems to have fallen off a bit, but Jamaica Rector is a Terry Glenn clone in the making, and Sam Hurd is trying to learn how to work out from T.O., and if he can get half the size of T.O., and work hard at getting better, we'll be set for a long time, without having gambled on a high round pick that may or may not even work out.
I can see Owens and Glenn as our starting wideouts for another 2 or 3 years, easily. I'm just glad we have a defense that's young and full of studs. Even our O-line, when you consider Mcquistan could be the future LT, and Proctor being the RG, is a bunch of guys in their 20s.
