The Andrews brothers will be key to the Eagles success in 2009.
With Eagles veterans scheduled to report to camp on Wednesday, one of the main areas of cocern for me on the offensive side of the ball is how quickly will the offensive gel. The birds added pro-bowl tackle Jason Peters from Buffalo and guard Stacey Andrews to a line that at times struggled to protect Donovan McNabb and consistently create running room for Brian Westbrook.
This season, with bigger, more athletic tackles, could the Eagles be primed to run the ball more? Probably not, but it should be interesting to see how well the guards play with the new tackles. Especially on the right side where the Andrews brothers have flipped positions.
On the left side, the Eagles have added Peters, who will be paired with incumbent guard Todd Herramans. Herramans is one of the smaller guys on the line at 6-6 320 pounds. How will he pair up with Peters and will the Eagles be able to run the ball to the left side when they need that third and one, late in the fourth quarter.
To look deeper into the offensive line, and more on the Eagles, we talked to former Eagles offensive linemen and Super Bowl champion, Barrett Brooks on the Sports Bash, on 97.3 ESPN FM.
