Ok, you have to admit, this was pretty good:
And of course, the biggie: how do they handle the three CBs? I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see a "slash" put up there.
Thanks to reader johnnyshaka for posting the link to the new chart on PE.com. Check that out. Scroll down a bit ... a little further ... past the linebackers ... and there it is:
Not too shabby. And in merely alphabetical order, I'm sure.
As for the rest of the predictions:
- Winston Justice will only be listed as the first backup at right tackle, not both positions
- Avant and Baskett the #2s, Jackson and Lewis the #3s
- Davis, Lawton, Collins
- Andrews will still have his spot
- Parker, Abiamiri (why create controversy now)
- Reed ahead of Demps (Quintin #2 doesn't need any more confidence)
- Klecko/Laws and Reagor/Kimo
In order:
- Yes on this one, but the Eagles always like to fill out the early charts with different names, even if putting one guy at two positions better reflects reality. In this case, though, I think the reality is that King Dunlap has more of a future at LT than Winston Justice does. That's not going to bode well for my other predictions about Justice that you can can go Google yourself.
- Bzzzzt. Michael Gasperson is listed ahead of DeSean Jackson. This despite the fact that if you think Gasperson has any chance of making this team ahead of Jackson, I've got some "covered parking" "at" the Linc you might be interested in "leasing."
- Yes, but not much of a surprise.
- You know Andy's rule -- starters don't lose their jobs due to injuries or diagnosis of clinical depression.
- No surprise.
- Yes. Demps being who he is, though, he probably recognized immediately the mind game Andy Reid was playing and this only made him more confident in his abilities.
- Yes -- the coaches have been really impressed with Klecko all camp and he's fortunate because what they need from that position -- penetration and pass rush -- he might just be able to provide. With the trio of Patterson, Bunkley and Laws, the Eagles don't really need another guy who can be stout against the run.
Other observations:
- No Jerome McDougle. Anywhere. He's even behind Bryan Smith.
- Ditto on Tony Hunt. I know. Shocking.
- %$@#! &!$#^#@
- Mike McGlynn is ahead of Mike Gibson. Which is great because I so can tell our two mid-range white offensive linemen draft picks named 'Mike' apart.
- By my count, Andy Studebaker is the 8th linebacker on the depth chart. Maybe he should send Jim Johnson some more YouTube videos.
- On that note, Vegas just nosed Studebaker ahead of Smith for "guy most likely to suffer a 'stinger' during the four preseason games."
- Reed at FS, Considine at SS ... doesn't that seem backwards? Not that it matters since they all play all the positions.
- Darren Howard is still listed as the backup long-snapper. I think we might want to consider another backup plan there.
