It’s been a while since the Eagles have had a sense of serenity in the secondary, but with week one of the 2019 season on the horizon, the team may have finally turned the corner.
The Eagles ranked 25th in interceptions last year and the man leading the team in that category wasn’t just a backup, but was shoved so far down the depth chart, that the team brought in Dexter McDougle off the street, who literally ran into Jordan Hicks on one play, before finally giving him a starting shot.
Allowing 4,308 passing yards (30th in the NFL) in 2018, the Eagles have battled cornerback criticism for quite some time now.
