What starters have they lost without replacing them yet?
The already replaced Dawkins. They already replaced one of the OT spots with Stacey Andrews.

They 'replaced' Dawkins. You don't just 'replace' the heart and soul of your team by plugging in another body.
As for re-building the o-line, like the Cardinals would tell you, easier said than done.
Andrews is being shifted over to one spot and I think Justice is the other and they're not real high on him from what I've read.
And what do they do in the interior now that they've moved Andrews?
Stacey Andrews is no sure bet.He's coming off major knee injury and didn't Shawn Andrews miss alot of time because of emotional issues? I thought i read that somewhere. Runyan had microfracture,i believe and Justice may never recover from the Giants debacle. In other words, their OL is a mess. Heck they may take 2 OL in round 1.
The loss of Dawkins and the hand wringing of the loss is the most overrated news of the offseason. The replaced the old Dawkins who has been more of a liability then an asset the last two years with a better, younger, and more productive player. Dawkins on a regular basis was getting run over by running backs and even WR's, became a guy who got dragged for more yardage when tackling, and was horrid in coverage. There comes a point when so called "heart and soul" just doesnt make up for the bad play anymore, and Dawkins reached that.

Despite what is being reported I personally do not believe McNabb will be the starting QB for the Eagles come opening dayEagles aren't getting any better with these moves. Their only hope is to have a strong draft. McNabb can't be thrilled about this offseason so far.
