New Eagles DL coach Jim Washburn is bringing to Philly his "wide-nine" philosophy for the Birds' defensive ends.
In this system, defensive ends line up "outside the parameters of the offensive line," and utilize their speed as opposed to creative pass-rush moves to get to the quarterback. For instance, Jason Babin is an explosive player but lacks a great pass-rush repertoire. He flourished in Washburn's scheme. Speed rusher Trent Cole is going to be dangerous in the new-look defense.
