My intention in sharing this is not to play “gotcha!” with old receipts or anything like that, but to highlight just how impressive the Eagles defensive turnaround this season really was. Their early season underperformance was a real thing, with Eagles fans having no confidence in the defensive line’s ability to pass rush or stop the run. I don’t think I’ve seen a group come together and improve week after week the way the Eagles defensive line (and by extension, the defense as a whole) did this past season. Goes to show that players improve over the course of the season and sometimes, it takes time for a unit to coalesce around a new scheme/coach.
