5 Philadelphia Eagles we ignore who could sneak onto their final roster
. Nate Herbig, guard. . player. 54. .
From an offensive line standpoint, we’ve figured out who the starters are. You can, no doubt, do this in your sleep now. Andre Dillard is your left tackle, assuming the “Birds” don’t bring Jason Peters back, and even if they do, Dillard will still make the roster. Throw Isaac Seumalo in at left guard, Jason Kelce in at center, and Brandon Brooks in at the right guard. Lane Johnson is your right tackle.
That’s a pretty impressive starting unit by any team’s standards, and it ought to be. They sure cost a pretty penny. That’s cool though because each of those guys is worth the money.
What about the reserves though? Philly must not be sold on what they have because after they let Halapoulivaati Vaitai walk (understandable because of his price tag), they drafted two offensive linemen and added two more as undrafted free agents. That brings the tally to 15 total offensive linemen.
We’ll have to see how the young guys develop, but we have to assume that right now, Matt Pryor is a backup at guard and Nate Herbig is the closest thing the Eagles have to a backup at the center position right? That’s pretty fair, right?
