This offseason has been an explosive one for the Eagles defense. The secondary has seen a total overhaul, the defensive tackle group may be among the best in the NFL, and despite a lack of depth at linebacker, there does seem to be a plan based on speed, speed, and more speed. Howie’s work is done. It’s now down to Jim Schwartz to pick up where he left off and make sure history doesn’t repeat itself.
It’s not just players, either. New coaches for the defensive line, defensive backs, and even a defensive run-game coordinator, were all added into the mix this offseason.
