@s1uggo72 -- not a good comment about Steen near the top of the camp observations. He is just getting back to practice after being out due to injury, so it may be premature to jump to any conclusions about RG.

They seem to be pretty nicked up on the OL right now

Sirianni said that the reduction in Tyler Steen’s playing time with the first unit following his return from an ankle sprain was not indicative of a step back in the right guard competition. But the fact remained that Steen took all the snaps before his injury and none on Wednesday. His competition with Mekhi Becton is far from over. But the job does now seem to be Becton’s to lose.

How a Jeff Stoutland hunch transformed Mekhi Becton into a starting guard

Jeff Stoutland’s hunch has Mekhi Becton on track to be the Eagles’ opening-day starter at right guard.

www.nbcsportsphiladelphia.com

The Cliff Notes version:

- Becton only played OT as a Jet
- Jeff Stoutland had an idea that despite his size (6'7", 365 lbs.) he might be a candidate for guard, though that wasn't an expectation on either side when he signed
- Steen started preseason as the RG, but when he got injured Becton filled in, and when Steen returned, Becton remained as the 1st team RG
- the challenge of playing guard at his size is staying low so DTs can't get under the guard
- Becton is enjoying the change of position, and also the challenge of learning it
- Stoutland University continues
