Is the oldest in the NFL. Although the Patriots are younger than they were at this point last season, their average age of 27.2 - calculated based on actual birthdates - makes them the oldest club in the league.

crap. I thought we were getting younger

If we have any injuries on defense, we might get really old. Is Seau surfing?

Will we have to listen to "aging this and that" all season again ?

The fascinating thing is that this team isn't "aging." They're going out and getting pre-aged new blood. 3 of the 4 oldest players on the roster -- Galloway, Springs and Taylor -- are new FA signings.

Exactly. This is how BB builds his roster. w/solid and hungry vets.

Here's some of the players that come to mind quickly that skew the age number upwards:
Galloway, 37
Bruschi, 36
Springs, 34
Hanson, 33
Taylor and Faulk, 33
Morris, 32

Old or Young, we are a much better team than last year and one that is poised to make some noise all season long...
