When Shawn Andrews went down, the Eagles could have feared the worst. After all, head coach Andy Reid had said this offseason that Andrews would be moving to right tackle, where he would flourish after the team let Jon Runyan go. But Andrews was placed on injured reserve, and the team didn't hesitate to name Winston Justice his replacement. The move evoked memories of his fill-in performance against the Giants a few years ago, in which Justice was responsible for at least four of the Giants' 12 sacks of QB Donovan McNabb. But a funny thing has happened: One Eagles observer has said that Justice has been the team's most consistent offensive lineman this season. They have gone through several injuries up front, but Justice has been steady and stout, even if he hasn't faced an elite pass rusher to date. And it will be interesting to see how he mentally handles his matchups against the Giants in Weeks Eight and 14.
