With Nick Cole sliding over to center in place of the injured Jamaal Jackson, Max Jean-Gilles will take over the right guard spot on the line. What remains to be seen is who becomes the back-up to Jean-Gilles.
It’s possible that free-agent bust (at least thus far) Stacy Andrews will finally be activated after warming the bench for the last two months.
In any event, the Eagles line is taking a huge hit as both Andrews and Jean-Gilles lost the starting job to the hard working Cole. At this point, without any other options, you just have to hope Jean-Gilles and Andrews have learned something from sitting behind Cole and watching him and the Eagles line gel into a title-contending line.
In other Eagles news, Macho Harris was fined $7,500 for his block on Tony Scheffler a split second after Asante Samuel’s interception last week. Apparently, the NFL disagrees with our assessment that Harris was continuing momentum. Then again, the fact that he lead with his shoulder probably didn’t help macho’s case.
