Chicago Bears to set NFL record? (oldest Defense ever)

[Prison Bitch]

Oldest Starting Defense Ever?
IF the starters look like this:

S: A. Wilson, R. Mundy
CB: Tillman, Jennings
LB: McCelllen, DJ Williams, L. Briggs
DL: J. Allen, J. Ratliff, S. Paea, L. Houston

Which is quite possible...

Then the average age of this defense will be Over 32 years old.

That must be some kind of record.

Even if you replaced Safety Wilson (35) with Rookie Brock VEreen (22) that would only lower the starters average to 31. Again, that too must be a record.

I did some quick searching and found this:

Football Outsiders article they reference their almanac where apparently they claim that the Steelers had a chance, going into the 2010 season, at being the oldest starting defensive lineup of the century with an average age of 30.5.

We're talking about over 32 or possibly 31 in all likelihood. Things can change during camp of course but.....
