Winston Justice Lined Up at Right Guard Instead of Tackle

The Eagles kicked off another week of Organized Team Activities yesterday and a couple of players were moved around to new positions. Dan Klecko, who was initially brought on to play fullback, was moved to the defensive side of the ball after the Eagles traded for backup fullback Luke Lawton from Indianapolis.

In a more interesting, and perhaps significant move, the Eagles asked former second round draft choice Winston Justice to line up at right guard for the first time in his career.

"They came to me this morning, and they're like, "You're playing guard,' " Justice said. "I didn't really have much time to prepare for it, but I tried to do the best I can."

Justice said offensive-line coach Juan Castillo was the man who gave the order, which was foreshadowed by nothing and followed up by just as little.

Part of the reason Justice was moved was the absence of stud Shawn Andrews who was excused on Monday for personal reasons.

The Eagles and their fans don't expect much out of Dan Klecko who is nearing the end of his career. He'll likely be a nice veteran addition to the Eagles special teams but any productivity they get out of him elsewhere is a bonus. Justice on the other hand was a second round draft choice under Reid and his progression as well as his position will be something fans should keep a close eye on.
