Morris, you should play Eagles' defense, the way you trip.

The Birds secondary is simply the softest hitting secondary in the NFL. DRC can cover, but can't tackle, Nnamdi is the most over-rated player in NFL, Coleman tries hard, but lacks talent and Allen neither covers nor hits. There isn't a hitter...or even a sure tackler in that secondary. We need a strong safety who puts fear into WR's and supports the run as a first priority.

Coleman is a good tackler but the guy is out of position half the time. Nate Allen is invisible - doesn't tackle, doesn't hit. Asomugha and DRC are just......soft.
