No disagreement here. I am not sure what they should do about the O-line. But I think they have to do something -- the definition of insanity is trying the same thing and expecting a different result. The Eagles are stout up front (and well, coached, I hate to say), but there are a few D lines that will challenges us as they did -- LAR, Giants (2X), Seattle, and Chiefs come to mind. They need to figure it out, and fast.

I just don't see them moving possibly the best LT in football to G. That's just not normal. I'd like to see Long at LG and Chase at C 1st before even thinking about moving Trent. But something different definitely needs to be tried. And the 5 that do play need to be way more intense.

Right -- and to be clear, when I said no disagreement, I was not referring to moving Trent away from being the LT, but to the comment re: Cousins' performance. But I do think they have to consider doing something with the O-line, and if Chase seems ready to take the reins at C, then sliding Long to LG makes good sense. I think folks had assumed that this might happen eventually, but perhaps poor play hastens this process.
