A former Eagles player thinks the defense has major issues.
If it wasn’t clear enough when the Atlanta Falcons drove 70 yards in 1:05 to stun the Eagles with a comeback Monday, a Philadelphia great made his point in plain terms in the hours that followed: “They have a major, major problem on the defensive side.”“You cannot be a football team that can’t stop the run and a football team that can’t stop the passer,” said Joyner, who played from 1986-93 with the Eagles. “As much respect as I have for Vic Fangio, in my opinion, he got outreached last night.
“Jordan Davis, in my opinion, was a wasted draft pick,” Joyner said. “Now for two years and two games, he’s proven that he cannot rush the passer. That was a bad move as far as drafting him where you drafted him. When you draft a player that high, you have to know for certain that guy is going to be a difference maker in your organization.”
“Both of those guys are one-trick ponies. If they can beat you off the corner, they’ll beat you. But nine times out of 10, they can’t beat you.” If Eagles’ run defense doesn’t improve, the team could implode: ‘This s*** right now’Eagles’ Nick Sirianni defends controversial decision that backfired: ‘I am even more convicted’
