So, all that preseason concern about the corners holding up, and the Eagles’ biggest problem through the first two weeks of the season is their running game.
Even with top corner Ronald Darby injured in Week 1, and Jaylen Watkins, the first choice to replace him, injured in Week 2, the defense getting incinerated through the air has not been a theme.
We’re working with a very small sample size, but it sure looks as if Jalen Mills, Rasul Douglas, and Patrick Robinson can play a little. Especially if the front seven can continue to get the kind of pass-rush pressure it has managed against Kirk Cousins and Alex Smith.
