I've watched some Eagles football this summer. Everyone is only talking about Michael Vick (and who cares?) but I want to talk about the lines. I feel like we've probably got the receiving corps that we've been wanting for years, but how on earth can we take advantage of the talent we have there (and still have at the Quarterback position, despite the fact that I was a complainer) when the line isn't healthy to start off the season. I don't know if we have the line to keep the protection strong enough to allow for running lanes and passing lanes and time to get the ball moving forward. Proving that I don't know very much about football, I'm concerned about the left tackle position overall. Maybe it's the book about the homeless kid that Tampa Bay gave me to read, maybe it's watching little Mike Hart run off #1 draft pick Left Tackle Jake Long, but I'm concerned that we don't have a rockstar at that position. Can Jason Peters get the job done? Let's hope.
Also, what are we doing at tight end? Are we really going to hold on to four QBs? No, right? Can the linebackers get it done? I don't know if i have more questions and concerns this year because I've been paying closer attention, or if it's actually not shaping up to be a good season for us. We'll see. Go friggin' Eagles.
