IT DIDN'T click in right away, but at some point while the Eagles were getting plucked for 230 rushing yards on 33 carries Sunday, I looked up at a FedEx Field monitor and it was 2012 all over again.
A back was romping into the secondary, unimpeded, while Eagles middle linebacker Jordan Hicks was being swallowed whole by a Redskins offensive lineman, who outweighed Hicks by about 100 pounds and had a running start.
I thought. "Oh yeah. Wide 9."
It was less than two weeks ago that Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz was telling reporters that they "probably owe an apology to Jim Washburn," after making defensive line coach Washburn's Wide 9 the scapegoat for the Eagles' terrible run defense in 2011 and 2012.
