Jason Peters has played at left tackle next to left guard Evan Mathis along the Eagles offensive line for the last four years. During that span, they have started 40 games together. With Evan Mathis holding out and his future with the team in question, Peters may begin the 2015 season with someone other than Mathis as his wing man on the left side of the line for the first time since 2010.
When asked if Peters would miss Mathis, he didn't seem to mind at all if Mathis doesn't return.
"No, not really," said Peters. "I've been playing beside different guys every year, so it doesn't really matter who's beside me to get the chemistry with them, and then get ready for the season.
"We've got a group of guys out there putting in work who have been here since April. Right now Allen Barbre is the starter. Don't know if Evan shows up, he'll get his spot back, I don't know."
I think we can call that a less than strong show of solidarity.
