Eagles sign LT Demetres Bell

The Eagles had a tragic thing happen when Pro Bowl LT Jason Peters tore his Achilles tendon working out. The Eagles though immediately started trying to fill that hole re signing King Dunlap to a 1 year deal and now signing former LT for Buffalo Bills Demetris Bell (Don't know how his first name is spelled.) my thought on this is Bell and Dunlap will battle for starting job. I actually like Dunlap to win that job and here is why. When Bell started in Buffalo his QB Ryan Fitzpatrick released the ball very quickly so Bell did not have to block for long and when he did it didn't look very good. Michael Vick as we all know holds on to the ball longer so in case no one is open he can run. That is the test Bell will have is adjusting to Vick hanging on to the ball a little longer. I think Bell is up for it but I really like Dunlap he played good when he started for the Eagles and he is ginormous but they would not put that much effort into signing Bell if they didn't have anything big planned for him.... just a thought.
