If he shows he can do it, I think you can get a decent return for the former first-round pick.ģ. I want to see him get reps at both tackles and play on both sides in the preseason games. But that was three years ago, and Dillard is a different guy now. Nobody is going to give up a decent pick for an offensive tackle who can only play on one side. If he shows he can be a competent two-way tackle, he becomes a lot more tradable. If I’m Howie Roseman, I’m going to keep trying to trade Dillard, and the more versatile he is, the more value he’ll have. I want to see lots of Andre Dillard at right tackle and even guard. I want to see how comfortable Epps is over these next few weeks in an expanded role.Ģ. We’ve all seen guys who have excelled in a backup role but can’t duplicate it once they become a starter. Epps was solid last year in a limited role, but he’s never been a full-time starter, and with Rodney McLeod gone he’s got to double his reps without a drop-off in production. The Eagles are relying heavily on Epps to jump from 31 snaps per game to probably about twice that. Here - in no particular order - are 10 things I need to see during the open practices over the next few weeks.ġ. The Eagles over the next few weeks will hold nine practices at the NovaCare Complex, one at the Linc open to the public, two in Cleveland and two in Miami. It’s called training camp, so it must be training camp, but really it’s just practice. Is it really training camp if it’s only 14 days, nobody gets tackled, practices last about an hour and a half, fans aren’t allowed to watch and you won’t see a single little kid walking alongside a mammoth offensive lineman carrying his helmet and pads?
