No, this isn't just a crazy TATEr idea...

@GeoffMosherCSN: Source tells me Evan Mathis will take snaps at center today and Danny Watkins will play left guard.

Guess that "chronic ankle injury" cleared up.

[macgregor]

Is Watkins related to Reid? They look like they're from the same bloodline. That would explain a lot.

You don't think he is feeling a sense of desperation to end this losing streak ?  This move seems like one of those made out of desperation (re-shuffling the chairs on the titanic).

Boy...how far has the OLine fallen in the last 5 years...

We went from stallworts at the T spots and Herremans playing great at LG, all pro Shawn Andrews at RG, and Jamaal Jackson was playing fantastic at C.

Amazing how fast your team can be decimated.

[Krukslonelyball]

lol, what a stupid Fing pick this guy was. Andy has to be the dumbest Fign talent evaluator ever.

Amazing how important this one unit is and how much it can affect the success of the entire team. People love to talk about skill positions and even a ferocious defensive line, but without an offensive line, you have no shot at winning anything.

Andy Reid thought process: ''Hmmm, square peg, round hole, lets do it.''

[Pegger]

It honestly can't hurt.

I've always wondered why Watkins didn't first compete for the LG job. A lot of his transition pain was related to a college LT using the opposite footwork in moving to the right side to play guard. Why not just bump him in a spot and let him play on the left side?

Anyway, as I said it can't hurt. The tackles will still get run around and beat regularly. Here's to hoping that Watkins/Mathis/Scott will at least protect the A gaps.

@GeoffMosherCSN: Source tells me Evan Mathis will take snaps at center today and Danny Watkins will play left guard.

So a guy that plays guard now has to learn to hold a football pre-snap and either hand it to a qb between his legs or launch it between his legs to a qb standing far behind him and all of this is going to work out well after a week of practice? Ok.

So, Watkins has earned little respect playing right guard but a shift to left guard is a good idea? Ok.

Howie Roseman says hi.  The Eagles drafts did not become putrid until Roseman arrived.  Before that the Eagles drafts were solid, not great, but solid.  Since Roseman the drafts have been... well... you know

[Markyc9876]

So much for the depth chart....  I thought Matt Tennant was the backup center.

Ugh. Whatever.

At least maybe Mathis can snap a shotgun snap faster than a slow pitch softball change up. The shotgun snaps looked like they might get intercepted like a Romo pass on Monday night.

Umm what? The drafts have been horrible even before Howie. They've actually gotten a little better under his watch. From 2004-2008 the Eagles only have TWO starters on their roster that have been anything more than average. Those are Djax and Celek.

[Baynit]

I honestly dont see how it would make things any worse than what they are...

Sit one blocking sled, insert another, shuffle a few more around.  Whats the difference?

I can't believe that after Kelce there isn't a single player fit to play center on this team.There so small it's ridiculous.

So true,it doesn't matter who you got at QB.Without a O line they won't be able to do anything.I can see them trading back and grabbing a couple lineman in the first 2 rounds of the draft.
