WANT TO KNOW why Walter Thurmond has transformed this Eagles secondary? Fast forward the tape of Sunday's win to the latter stages of the first quarter. It is a play you no doubt remember: The Jets line up in trips right, throw a swing pass to Brandon Marshall, and then lose 8 yards as Malcolm Jenkins tosses his blocker aside and flings the ballcarrier backward by the waist.
This was second-and-9 at the Eagles' 48, Jets on the verge of moving into field-goal range while trailing, 3-0.
Jenkins didn't need any help, but look at the second Eagle on the scene as Marshall spins to the ground.
