What to expect in the starting lineup come Eagles Training Camp time

The Eagles will get ready in a few weeks to go to Leigh and start Training Camp and there are still some questions at certain positions starter wise. At QB and RB you know who the starters are as well as the O-Line but if you look at a interesting spot at WR Riley Cooper will battle with Marvin Mcnutt who was a WR out of Illinois for the 4th spot. The Eagles like what they stole in Marvin Mcnutt with his great size and good hands will help in the red zone the most. Moving on to the defensive side of the ball the D-Line looks like Cole,Jenkins,Babin but then Patterson will battle with Cox for that DT spot and if you look at what Patterson did last year was pretty impressive after having a minor seizure in training camp he was 5th on the team in tackles plus 2.5 sacks and 5 tackles for losses so I would say he has the starting spot so that Fletcher Cox can slowly move into the spot with this year contributing in certain times hes out there. LB looks like right now MLB Demeco Ryans then WILL Brian Rolle who played great last year and then at SAM 2nd round pick Mychael Kendricks but don't count out Jamar Chaney who was the starting SAM until Casey Matthews was moved out of MLB and Chaney went their. Chaney will battle with Brian Rolle to me but still dont see him starting come Week 1. CB looks pretty rapped up with DRC and Nnamdi as the two outsides but then in the slot its a battle with 4th round pick out of Georgia Brandon Boykins who did great in the slot at Georgia and Joselio Hanson a long time Eagle slot who has done a good job their. Then saftey is interesting with Nate Allen at the first spot then its a battle with Kurt Coleman and Jaiquawm Jarret who was a second round pick last year out of Temple. I see Coleman winning that one he had a great season last year with 4 INTs and was second in the team with 96 tackles only behind Jamar Chaney. Training Camp will have its share of battles, surprises, and excitement should be a good one.
