What a difference a year makes. Last season when safety Roy Williams was suspended one game for a horse collar tackle on Donovan Mcnabb, Pat Watkins wasn't even thought of as a replacement. Keith Davis filled in at strong safety. Not this time.
With Davis having not been with the team until just a few days before the season opener at Cleveland, Watkins will fill in for Williams, who is out with a broken arm.Watkins usually plays free safety, but is the team's best option at the moment to plug the gap left by Williams' injury.
Watkins, who is starting his first game since his rookie season, said he's got no problem with playing close to the line of scrimmage.

"That's fine with me...it doesn't matter," Watkins said. "There's not really a big difference. You're a little closer to the line of scrimmage at strong. It'll probably be a little more physical, but that's fine."
