Well, last week I was extremely critical of Sean Desai’s defense and I couldn’t understand some of the decisions. It turns out I wasn’t alone, because Desai was essentially replaced as defensive coordinator by Matt Patricia. This is still Desai’s defense, but there were some changes. There was some good and some bad. Let's get into it.
Defense
I was largely happy with the Eagles’ defense in the first 3 quarters. But my goodness, watching this defense on 3rd and long is incredibly frustrating. You know it’s driving the coaches crazy because they just keep trying weird and wonderful things on 3rd and long and it’s driving me a little crazy.
