First Practice Depth Chart

BETHLEHEM, Pa. -- Now the real fun begins.

Eagles training camp continued today with the full team here Friday after the rest of the veterans reported a day earlier. There was one late arrival, however. Rookie defensive end Brandon Graham landed at Lehigh today and dotted the 'i's and crossed the 't's on his contract in time to make this afternoon's practice. He will meet with the media after practice.

The team convened first this morning for a light practice closed to fans and media. This afternoon's session -- a no-pads practice closed to fans -- is open to the media. In essense, it was our first look at how the Eagles' depth chart looks at the beginning of camp.

During the first set of 11 on 11s I managed to write down how the teams were aligned. The following recap in no way reflects how the team may look tomorrow, let alone when the first preseason game is played in two weeks. I also may have missed a substitute or two. Nevertheless, here it is:

OFFENSE
First team — Second team — Third team
WR: Jeremy Maclin — Jason Avant — Chad Hall/Jared Perry
LT: Jason Peters — Austin Howard —
LG: Max Jean-Gilles* — Fenuki Tupou — Zipp Duncan

RG: Stacy Andrews  — Dallas Reynolds — Greg Isdaner
RT: Winston Justice — King Dunlap — Jeraill McCuller
TE: Brent Celek — Cornelius Ingram/Clay Harbor  — Martin Rucker
QB: Kevin Kolb  — Michael Vick  — Mike Kafka
RB: LeSean McCoy  — Mike Bell — Charles Scott/Eldra Buckley/Martell Mallett
FB: Leonard Weaver — Dwayne Wright
WR: DeSean Jackson  — Hank Baskett/Riley Cooper  — Jordan Norwood/Dobson Collins

DEFENSE
First team  — Second team  — Third team
RDE: Trent Cole  — Darryl Tapp  — Daniel Te'o-Nesheim
DT: Brodrick Bunkley — Antonio Dixon  — Jeff Owens
DT: Mike Patterson — Trevor Laws  — Boo Robinson
LDE: Juqua Parker — Brandon Graham — Ricky Sapp/Eric Moncur
SAM: Moise Fokou — Keenan Clayton — Jamar Chaney
MLB: Stewart Bradley — Omar Gaither — Joe Mays
WIL: Ernie Sims — Akeem Jordan — Simoni Lawrence
RCB: Ellis Hobbs — Macho Harris/Trevard Lindley — David Pender
LCB: Asante Samuel — Jose Hanson/Dimitri Patterson  — Trevard Lindley/Geoff Pope

This is the best competition in a long time and very talented players. Should be hard for Andy Reid to cut some of these guys.

So...there's two pictures of the writers who write this article, and theres about 24 words per writer for us to read. Helluva an article boys, my eyes hurt from the intense reading involved to go from start to finish.

Putting Austin Howard behind Jason Peters could mean the coaches think he's our third best tackle. Or it could mean nuthin.
