JOE DOUGLAS stood next to Howie Roseman Thursday as the Eagles' player personnel vice president and their de facto general manager answered questions from TV reporters about next week's draft, then Douglas settled into a leather chair alongside Roseman as the duo endured a longer session with print reporters.
The predraft dance is a familiar one, but it felt different this time, Roseman taking the floor with a new dance partner. Douglas, now 43, joined the front office from the Bears after last year's draft, and a constant theme of this offseason has been Roseman's contention that Douglas represents change in the way the Eagles operate.
