I could write a few thousand words of analysis of the topic, and I probably will as the week progresses, but for now, let's just look at what the Eagles have accomplished on defense through the first six weeks of the season, statistically:

Continuity on defense is beginning to pay off for the Eagles

by Jimmy Kempski

This offseason, the Eagles' offense went through a significant overhaul when Chip Kelly tried to replace two starting guards on their offensive line, traded for a new quarterback, replaced their running back, and drafted a new starter at wide receiver. Unquestionably, in my opinion, their struggles this season can at least partially be attributed to a lack of continuity.

by Jimmy Kempski

The Eagles' defensive line has simply been tremendous this season, led by sure-fire All-Pro DE Fletcher Cox and NT Bennie Logan. Opposing offenses, save for a few moments in Washington, have not been able to run on the Eagles' defense all season, and former Eagles great Brian Dawkins is impressed.

Ex-punter Steve 'along for the ride' Weatherford still running his mouth from unemployment line

by Jimmy Kempski

Remember that time former Giants punter Steve Weatherford talked trash about the Eagles on a New York radio station, then backtracked like a coward when Eagles players got wind of it? Yeah, that was fun. Welp, Weatherford is now out of the league and still running his mouth.

Chip Kelly's name attached to USC... again

by Jimmy Kempski

Nick Saban coached college, and then he coached in the NFL, and then he went back to college. Bobby Petrino coached college, and then he coached in the NFL, and then he went back to college. And more recently, Jim Harbaugh coached college, and then he coached in the NFL, and then he went back to college.
