Whenever defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz talks about the defense, Eric Rowe hears the same message: The play calls will depend on the quality of the cornerbacks.
“He keeps saying it’s based how much I trust you, how good the corners are playing man, how good the corners can hold on the outside,” Rowe said this week. “I feel like after the first couple of weeks his tools are based on how good we can cover. So I feel that pressure a little bit.”
The Eagles’ cornerback depth chart is unsettled, but it’s likely that Rowe will be one of the starters.
