Eagles secondary ready for big test against potent Falcons pass attack

The Philadelphia Eagles spent a second straight offseason retooling their defensive secondary and on Monday night they will get their first big test against a potent Falcons' passing attack.

"It's going to be a great test, because this is one of the great [receiving] tandems in the league, with Julio and Roddy White," safety Walter Thurmond said, via Philly.com.

"It's going to be a great test for us, to see what our cover ability is, and to make an identity for ourselves as a secondary.

"We're going to get challenged. We're going to have some deep balls thrown at us.
