The Eagles began camp looking for someone to take control of the right guard position, and that winner has been declared, though not officially, plus four more overreactions from Day 9 of camp.
PHILADELPHIA – It was the hottest and most humid day of training camp so far, and it took nine days to send the thermometer and heat index into red and dangerous numbers, which was longer than in previous summers.The battle to be the starting right guard has come to an end. It will be Mekhi Becton’s job. That has not been made official, yet but it is clear Tyler Steen is running behind Becton after missing several practices with an ankle injury.
How about a middle linebacker? That would be Devin White, who has been blitzing from a lot of different places in camp and has even been lined up close to the line as a designated pass rusher on occasion. White had sacks on two of three plays at one point on Tuesday, one on a blitz, another lined up over center as a stand-up rusher.
Haason Reddick led the team last year with 11 and was the only player to reach double digits Sweat was second with 6.5, so a new leader must emerge.The Eagles have run dozens and dozens of quick slants to receivers throughout camp and have thrown the ball over the middle to tight ends just as many times.
Of course, sometimes you see things in camp that don’t transition into the regular season, but the feeling here is that the throws over the middle aren't going anywhere.
