Personnel-wise, things stayed pretty much the same for the Eagles on offense. The only starter they lost to free agency was Mekhi Becton, who played very well for them at right guard after signing a one-year prove-it deal last season. Stepping in for him will be 2023 third-round draft pick Tyler Steen, who was projected to start at right guard last season before he got injured in the offseason and Becton played so well. The Eagles believe Steen is ready, just as they believed a year ago that Cam Jurgens was ready to take over for the retiring Jason Kelce at center. The Eagles’ offensive line is its own subculture, and one of the benefits of the way they’ve been able to draft is that guys get on-the-job training and get to see first-hand examples of what’s expected before they ascend to starter’s roles. It’s one thing to draft a young guy and explain to him the way it was when past franchise greats held down his position. It’s quite another to draft a young guy and let him work side-by-side with those greats so that he doesn’t need to be told what’s expected when it’s his turn to start. Jurgens made the Pro Bowl in his first year as a starter and after working alongside Kelce for two years. The hope is that Steen, who has spent the past two years working alongside the likes of Kelce, Jurgens, Johnson, Landon Dickerson, and Jordan Mailata, will benefit in the same way.

Steen had some up and down moments, but I thought there was more up than down. He was trying to block Jeremiah Trotter on the second level on a run play, but Trotter sidestepped him, and made the “tackle.” On a rep shortly thereafter, Steen got a hold of Mondon on the second level and drove him down the field, through the whistle. The Eagles also love pulling guards across the formation in the play action game and then having them set up in pass protection, kind of like offensive tackles. They can do that with Dickerson, who had college experience playing tackle, and they could do that with Mekhi Becton last year, who was formerly a tackle. For example, they pulled Becton across the formation on had him set up as a blocker in pass pro on the DeVonta Dagger. Because Steen played almost exclusively at tackle in college, he is comfortable doing that as well, and they are using him on those types of plays in practice. Anyway, Steen isn’t a perfect player, but he’s good enough, and nobody among his competition has given him much of a challenge. I’ve seen enough. Steen will be the starting RG.
