The revamped Philadelphia Eagles secondary has it’s work cut out to start the regular season. Philadelphia will see five different opposing 1,000 yard receivers in the first seven games. Later on in the season, Calvin Johnson and Philadelphia Eagles killer Larry Fitzgerald will be on tap. Given their struggles in recent years, it’s imperative that defensive coordinator Billy Davis gets his secondary playing at a higher level than previous seasons.
Corner Byron Maxwell, the subject of much excitement (and criticism), fared well opposite Richard Sherman in Seattle.
