Eagles Best Defense?
A friend writes:
The defense is just soooo tough. I said it at the start of the playoffs, I believe this is probably the best unit Johnson has ever had. He's had years when his D-line was better (the Hugh Douglas prime of '01), he's had years with better LBs (Trotter in '01/'02), he's had better secondaries (those years of Taylor/Vincent/B-Dawk were sick).
But I think this D is probably, all together, as good as the '01/'02 squad, if not better.
To put that point into full view, in their last 4 games the Eagles have played 4 great offenses:
Redskins (10 points); Cowboys (6 points); Vikings (14); NYG (11).
And let's not forget that the Skins TD came on a short field after a McNabb fumble, and 2 of those FGs yesterday were on short fields -- 1 after the opening kickoff return, the other on the batted into the air INT and Mr Fatso running it down to the 30.
