Just read that apparently it will be Gay and Blake on the outside, Allen in the slot. Boykin appears to be the No. 4.

What's the source? Allen's still # 1 on the depth chart and Tomlin swears by his chart.
Gay on Gronk...

I like how you think (at least on this comment)...I'm on board Coach Tomlin... send Shark on a safety blitz and hits Brady late which knocks her out of the game. Shark gets ejected and it's a win-win for the Steelers
Maybe they are moving Allen inside for THIS game to match up against Gronk. He's our biggest corner, and we've all seen what happens when they put Gay on Gronk...
If we don't see Boykin a lot more in the regular season games than we did in the preseason, I think my head really might literally explode. It's going to be messy.
The jokes just write themselves, sometimes.

Brandon Boykin isn't even going to be starting for the Pittsburgh Steelers
On one hand, this is bad news for the Eagles. Philadelphia only receives Pittsburgh's fourth round draft pick if Boykin plays at least 60% of the Steelers' defensive snaps. If Boykin isn't in the top three, there's a very good chance he won't play enough to fulfill that condition. Therefore, the Eagles are likely to only receive a fifth round pick for Boykin.
On the other hand, maybe this is a sign Boykin isn't good enough to get on the field on a more regular basis and the Eagles made a good deal by trading him away. Especially considering Boykin was on the last year of his contract.
It's not like Boykin is buried behind great players, either. He's stuck behind the likes of William Gay, Antwon Blake, and Cortez Allen.
One could argue the Eagles would still be better off with Boykin right now. The team currently doesn't have an answer at the nickel position after trading him away and seeing JaCorey Shepherd, his potential replacement, go down with a season-ending injury.
But what's done is done. Boykin is gone and he's not even starting. The Eagles are likely to receive a fifth round pick in from the Steelers in the 2016 NFL Draft.

Whens the last time Brady threw deep against anybody ?
