I took a long look at the offense’s play against the Carolina Panthers on Tuesday, and today and I wanted to focus on the defense. This unit has gotten stronger by the week, and it’s lead by its front seven. It’s no secret in Philadelphia that Fletcher Cox and Bennie Logan are at or near the top of their respective positions in the league, and Cedric Thornton helps form the best three-man front in football.
The combination of DeMeco Ryans, Mychal Kendricks and Jordan Hicks has been extremely effective inside, and the return of Kiko Alonso in the coming weeks will only add to this unit’s versatility.
