The Eagles released their 2008 depth chart, which you can view here.
Some interesting notes from the chart:
– Lito Sheppard and Sheldon Brown are “co-starters” — that may be a first.
– DeSean Jackson is the #7 receiver on the depth chart, but I wouldn’t read too much into that: I expect that he’ll be on the field for about 30% of the team’s packages. Gasperson is ahead of him and I’m looking forward to seeing what he can do.
– Lorenzo Booker is going to return kicks and DeSean Jackson is going to return punts. Quitin Demps is the backup to both guys and then J.R. Reed is behind them. It looks like we’ll finally have an explosive special teams. I’m setting the over/under for special teams touchdowns to 3.5. Any takers?
– Quitin Mikell is ahead of Sean Considine at the start of the season for the first time… it’s about time the Eagles got that one right.
– Juqua Parker is still holding on the starting spot opposite of Trent Cole. I was expecting Abiamiri to step up and take over the starting spot, but Abiamiri is set to have surgery on his wrist.
– Schoebel is still ahead of newly signed Kris Wilson. Many expect Schoebel to get the boot when the Eagles brought in Wilson from the Chiefs in the offseason.
