Chris Wilson has scraped and primed the walls, but the new defensive line coach for the Eagles has just begun to paint.
Wilson is teaching not only a new scheme, one that is the opposite of predecessor Jerry Azzinaro's 3-4 base front, he's changing the defensive line's mentality from reactive to aggressive. He's had to strip the players down and build them back up.
And that takes time. That takes repetition.
"When you're going to change mentality, you change foundations," Wilson said on Monday.
