Philadelphia Eagles linebacker DeMeco Ryans thinks the team acquired some promising offseason improvements in two key areas going into 2015.
"We got better on the outside, which we struggled at last year,” Ryans said, per ESPN.
“We had a lot of struggles there on the outside at the corner position, so I feel we've upgraded there with (Byron) Maxwell , a guy that you've seen make a lot of plays for the Seahawks. A guy like Kiko (Alonso), who his rookie year was a really outstanding player, up for defensive rookie of the year, a playmaker all over the field, and another guy in (Walter) Thurmond , who is expected to definitely push guys to be the starting corner on the other side.
