Philadelphia Eagles rotate PSU's Wisniewski, Warmack at LG in win vs. Giants; will it continue?

PHILADELPHIA -- Eagles coach Doug Pederson eschewed NFL norms Sunday when he rotated Chance Warmack and Stefen Wisniewski into the game to play left guard during a win over the Giants.

Most teams prefer a stable offensive line and stick with the same five players throughout entire games. But after benching starter Isaac Seumalo leading up to a Week 3 bout with New York, the Eagles had veteran reserves Warmack and Wisniewski split time at left guard against a talented Giants front four.

Pederson thought the scheme benefitted the Birds. Philadelphia rushed for a season-high 193 yards on 39 attempts Sunday, good for an average of 4.
