Juan Castillo likens Eugene Monroe's transition to Ravens to Eagles All-Pro Jason Peters

Ravens offensive line coach Juan Castillo’s return to Philadelphia was occasion for the longtime Eagles assistant to compare one of his best players in Philadelphia, Jason Peters, to current Ravens left tackle Eugene Monroe.

Monroe’s play has been uneven since the Ravens acquired him from the Jacksonville Jaguars for a pair of draft picks in 2013, but the offensive line coach believes there’s opportunity for improvement still.

Castillo said Peters, who was acquired after a Pro Bowl 2008 season with the Buffalo Bills but struggled in 2009 with the Eagles, showed him and then-coach Andy Reid that an adjustment period is necessary.
