Eagles, Cowboys still shuffling lines

    • The Philadelphia Eagles, and the Dallas Cowboys had considerable question marks on their offensive lines heading into the preseason. Following Saturday’s cuts, it’s evident that neither Andy Reid, nor Jason Garrett still do not feel entirely comfortable with the depth on their offensive lines. The Eagles who’s offensive line looked shaky at best at certain points of the preseason signed offensive lineman Kyle DeVan on Sunday in effort bolster their guard postion according to ESPN.com’s Dan Graziano.

    “It’s a little bit easier to surmise the motivation behind the line move the Eagles made Sunday to bring in former Colts guard Kyle DeVan. Eagles offensive line coach Howard Mudd coached DeVan in Indianapolis, knows him and knows DeVan knows his system. The Eagles are planning to start first-round pick Danny Watkins at right guard, but the rookie has struggled in preseason, and it’s got to be comforting for Mudd and Andy Reid to know they have another veteran option to use in case Watkins doesn’t show the kind of improvement they expect and need from him over the first few weeks of the season. DeVan also offers another option at left guard in case newcomer Evan Mathis doesn’t work out on that side.”

    The Eagles enter the season with perhaps the most potent offensive weapon in the NFL under center, however with concerns about Michael Vick’s injury history, and his style of play, keeping his jersey clean in the pocket, has to be the Birds primary concern on opening day against the Rams.

    See, the thing about those Saturday roster cuts is that they aren’t final and some things you think are settled get changed within the first 24 hours after the cuts. So it was that Sunday was a busy-work day for teams still churning the bottoms of their rosters, claiming guys off waivers, bringing just-released players back for the practice squad.
