Football Is Finally Here!

Justice is the LT of the future. he was running with the one's during minicamps while Thomas was out. Herremans is the starter at LG right now. so if Thomas can't play, I'm pretty sure they'd go Justice Herremans Jackson Andrews Runyan.

No you don't. You like kvetching too much.

ice grillin you · July 24, 2006, 08:41:20 AM

that didnt convince me

Nothing is going to. Watch the season and make, you know, an actual educated decision.

Zanshin · July 24, 2006, 08:46:06 AM

Or, I suppose, you could go to camp frequently. If you just couldn't wait.

Ruyan is ancient, but really hasn't shown any signs of being a player other than what he's been the past 5 years. I think going into camp, you can safely assume that he will be an anchor at RT until shown otherwise. Andrews should be better with his new physique. The center position is something to worry about, no doubt. Jackson is bigger and probably stronger. But from all accounts, Fraley was very good a making the line calls, it is yet to be seen if Jackson has a firm understanding of that. Herremans is an unkown at guard, but if the transisiton that John Welbourn made from tackle to guard is any indication of what can be done, they might be good there. LT is a question based on health. Can Thomas play? If not, can a rookie hold up in one of the most important positions on the team?

Not only did i just not convince you, i worried myself.

I know this is a no-brainer...but if the Eagles are going to do anything this year, the O line and D line will have to be roughly 10,000,000 times better than last year. I like the way they're shaping up at this point, but until we see them play together, there's really no way to know.

ice grillin you · July 24, 2006, 09:03:19 AM

i feel comfortable about the d-line until proven otherwise...but the o line to me is gonna be a mess

Zanshin · July 24, 2006, 09:14:08 AM

I don't really see that. But, there are no words that will prove either of us right or wrong at this point.

i just had a dream b4 i woke up about the eagles first game this season. the eagles are on about the 13yd line. after the snap mcnabb passes to gaffeny behind the line of scrimmage for a trick/gadget play. gaffeny looks to pass and finds lj smith in the back of the endzone.

i could have sworn it was real.

i woke up when i started cheering.
