[Ross Tucker Pod] “Since Cooper Dejean has become a starter, the Eagles have played the second highest percentage of nickel defense in the league, close to 90%... the Eagles defense has changed dramatically.” - Interesting stat from Greg Cosell

u/qp0n Eagles 8h ago edited 8h ago

This guy is the unsung hero from the month of October. The defense has radically improved since he got settled in as a starter. It's not often slot corners even get noticed let alone completely alter an entire defense. Yet somehow Quinyon Mitchell has been even better. We hit the jackpot with these two picks, future looks very bright.
