Eagles’ First (Unofficial) Depth Chart has No Punter or Holder
Published:
The Eagles released their first (unofficial) depth chart of the year:
No punter, and therefore no holder. Arryn Siposs, come on down! (insert Simpsons meme of the grandfather walking in and out of the door). Instead of “next man up” it’s “same guy up.”
There’s not a ton to note here. The running backs are listed in alphabetical order. No clues on snap counts or preference or anything there. You see two guys listed at the second linebacker and second safety spots, so we’re not gonna find out what happens there until Sunday. Mario Goodrich is listed as the backup nickel corner, but hopefully we don’t have to see him play there, because a healthy Avonte Maddox means good things for the Birds.
Otherwise, Olamide Zaccheaus is listed as the punt returner with Quez Watkins backing him up. Boston Scott is the only kick returner on the list, but all he has to do is wave his hand in the air and catch the ball this season. They had to make extra lines on the chart because they went heavy on DTs and tight ends, so get ready for an interior line rotation and some 12 personnel baby.
