It was just the first camp of a long spring and summer and the names could very well change between now and September 12 when the kelly green (for that day) Eagles play Green Bay at Lincoln Financial Field, but it was telling over the weekend that Macho Harris lined up as the starter at free safety and Joselio Hanson started at right cornerback for the defense. Telling in that the Eagles understand they are far away from drawing any conclusions in the all-important secondary.
How will it look when the season opens? Impossible to tell right now. This is not to suggest that Harris was a placeholder at free safety for the post-draft practices, but there certainly are going to be some challenges to the position. Harris is ahead of Quintin Demps on the depth chart, that much we can surmise from the post-draft camp. Where second-round draft pick Nate Allen and veteran free-agent signee Marlin Jackson fit into the equation remain to be seen.
