They have a deep defensive line reminiscent of their 2018 Super Bowl run and a stud wide receiver in A.J. They will go as far Jalen Hurts takes them.

Philadelphia just might be the division’s most impressive team on paper heading into training camp. NFC East notebook: Breaking down rosters as OTAs begin - Big Blue View So evolution, both scheme-wise and individually, will be necessary for Philly to take another jump. But other teams will have caught up some to what Nick Sirianni and Shane Steichen built for Jalen Hurts last year. My feeling is the division will be about the same as it was last year, their schedule is manageable (they play the AFC South and NFC North) and the roster is better. Paul, I think they’d tread water in that circumstance.

Be careful what you wish for Woodbridge, Virginia. The Cowboys are in decline, the Commanders always stink and the Giants are mired in a rebuild (though I believe Brian Daboll and Joe Schoen will finally lead them out of it eventually). Still, I bet only one team from this bunch reaches the postseason, despite them getting to feast on one another. There is not a legit Super Bowl threat in the bunch, although I think the Eagles are gonna be better than some would think. None of these teams has displayed a recent pedigree to be anything other than horrible-to-mediocre at best with any consistency in recent years.

But when the 28-year-old signed a one-year, $7.5 million contract with the Eagles last week, it was reported that Jonathan Gannon’s zone-heavy scheme was a motivating factor in Bradberry’s decision. He can do that, as well, and do it capably. That isn’t to say Bradberry can’t press wide receivers at the line and run step for step with them. The reason was obvious: He performed better in zone than in man coverage. While his usage was based partially on defensive coordinator Patrick Graham’s schematic preferences, the veteran was also primarily a zone corner in his first four seasons with the Carolina Panthers. Of the 72 NFL cornerbacks who lined up for 50% or more of 844 coverage snaps last season, only six played in zone coverage more than James Bradberry did for the New York Giants. James Bradberry film: Why he should be a fit for the Eagles’ scheme - Inquirer Reddick will help Mailata improve further against speed rushers in training camp. Oddly, two of them occurred on consecutive snaps, with new teammate Haason Reddick beating him for both. Jordan Mailata’s 3.5 sacks allowed were down from 7 the year before. The defender who beat Mailata just happened to get to Hurts first, so if you were to let Johnson off the hook on that technicality, he gave up zero sacks. Technically, as you’ll read below (if you get that far), we dinged both Johnson and Jordan Mailata for a half sack on one play in which both players got beaten soundly. Lane Johnson had a stellar season, only allowing (by our judgment) 0.5 sacks, just as he did a year ago.

His 2.61 receiving yards per route run since 2019 rank fifth among all players with at least 500 routes run over that stretch. The Brown addition gives the Eagles the big-bodied, elite receiving option who can work over the middle of the field that their offense was missing. Johnson and Mailata were both top-10 tackles last season in PFF grade, and they’re two of the better athletes in the league at the position. The Johnson-Mailata tandem at tackle is one of the NFL’s best and speaks to the strength of the Eagles roster in the trenches.
