I took a closer look at the Washington offense on Thursday, so today it’s time to look at the defensive unit and the challenges it will present the Eagles on Saturday night. In my eyes, the best player on this defense is outside linebacker Ryan Kerrigan. A relentless pass rusher who wins with his hands, quick first step, as well as power and leverage, Kerrigan has been a thorn in the side of the Eagles throughout much of his career.
Since his rookie year in 2011, Kerrigan has racked up 36 tackles and seven sacks against the Eagles through nine games.
