Quintin Demps was handed the starting job a year ago, but he, ummm, sucked to put [...]

The window just got slammed shut.
For years, we’ve been hearing about how the Eagles window of opportunity was getting smaller. It goes back to when Troy Vincent and Bobby Taylor were sent packing to make room for unproven corners Lito Sheppard and Sheldon Brown.
