title: Eagles make Youth New England Patriots Jerseys OL changes
content: Eagles make OL changes The right tackle job has been handed to Todd Herremans(notes), a move that appears to indicate that the Eagles are all systems go with starting two rookies on the offensive line.Herremans moves over from left guard, and it Patriots Jersey Youth has been an idea that head coach Andy Reid has floated for years, that the able Herremans could play tackle if needed. That move has been resisted after he found a home at left guard. But given all the uncertainty and moving parts on the offensive line, the Herremans move became necessary.The first-unit line has struggled at times this preseason NFL New England Patriots Jerseys as the team breaks in two rookies, C Jason Kelce(notes) and ORG Danny Watkins(notes), as would-be starters. New OL coach Howard Mudd likes both players' competitiveness, and their size and style of play fit what Mudd is looking for up front. The Eagles just couldn't give the starting ORT job to King Dunlap(notes) with Winston Justice(notes) (knee) and Ryan Harris(notes) (back) out indefinitely. Justice currently resides on the PUP list, and Harris, who came over as a free agent this offseason, might be placed on injured reserve if he's deemed to be out too long.The first sign that Dunlap wasn't going to be handed the starting job, despite getting first-team reps, was when the team signed free agent Reggie Wells(notes) as insurance. Now Dunlap and Austin Howard(notes) are the backup tackles.The Eagles know how important protecting QB Michael Vick(notes) is, and despite the preseason struggles to do so, they apparently will work through the growing pains up front and do their best to shield the young and perhaps vulnerable interior.It's also notable that the Eagles' best success on screens and power run plays in the preseason has mostly been to the left side of the line. Perhaps the switch of Herremans to the right side and the insertion of Evan Mathis(notes), who has played well in the preseason and who had graded out well in limited snaps with the Bengals previously, could balance some of that offensive production out.

title: Cowboys scratch C Andre Gurode; status in doubt
content: MINNEAPOLIS (AP)Dallas Cowboys center Andre Gurode's(notes) future with the teamis up in the air.Gurode was on the inactive list Saturday night for Dallas' preseason game atMinnesota, despite the five-time Pro Bowl pick being healthy during trainingcamp and a Kids New England Patriots Jerseys knee injury this week to backup Phil Costa(notes). Rookie Kevin Men New England Patriots Jerseys Kowalski(notes)started at center against the Vikings instead. Gurode started training camp on the physically unable to perform list aftertelling the team upon arrival he had arthroscopic knee surgery in June.Costa has been pushing Gurode for the job this month, and the Cowboysalready cut veteran starters Leonard Davis(notes) and Marc Colombo(notes) before camp began.The Cowboys, who used three of their eight draft picks this year on offensivelinemen, have clearly been tilting toward youth at those critical positions.Owner Jerry Jones said Gurode's status on the roster is under scrutiny forsalary-cap reasons, so he was held out of the game to avoid injury. Coach JasonGarrett said the Cowboys would evaluate Gurode's situation Sunday."We need to sit down and go over all of our business," Jones said. "Thisis as it should be. We just didn't want to mess up the table cloth and have himget in the game tonight and get nicked up or what have you."Running back Marion Barber(notes) and wide receiver Roy Williams were two otherveterans let go by the Cowboys before the season."There are Womens New England Patriots Jerseys a lot of issues we've had with some of our veteran players inthis salary cap situation we're in," Garrett said after the Cowboys beat theVikings 23-17. "Some of those moves were made prior to training camp, and a lotof discussions to try and make those situations Patriots Jersey Womens work happened prior to trainingcamp. This probably falls into that same category."
