Give Roseman Some Credit

Quite the turnaround in 1 offseason. Remember when QBs were completing passes at an insane pace last season. From a recent Reuben Frank article

But one of the most impressive things Roseman did in an offseason loaded with impressive moves was completely rebuild the secondary, keeping only Slay and Maddox from the main group. And with three newcomers – James Bradberry and Chauncey Gardner-Johnson are new to the Eagles and Marcus Epps is new to the starting lineup – they now have one of the best secondaries in football, holding opposing QBs to a 69.2 passer rating – 2^nd-lowest in the NFL, behind only the Bills.

Remember last year? That figure was 95.4. Opposing QBs completed 69 percent of their passes against the Eagles last year – worst in the league. Now that figure is down to 56.4 – best in the league. There’s a lot of football left to play, but the Eagles have gone from one of the worst defensive backfields in football to one of the best almost overnight. That’s incredible.
