Eagles' D bounces back vs. Jaguars
The Eagles' defense rebounded with an impressive effort in Jacksonville, holding the Jaguars to 3 points in the Birds' victory.
Against the Lions and the Packers, Sean McDermott's defense did not reach the goals he set for the team before the season.
But in today's win, they held the Jaguars out of the end zone and looked like a different unit than the one that allowed 59 points through the first two games.
I'll take a look at the exact number of plays for each guy later in the week, but there were some significant changes to the rotation this week.
Most notably, Darryl Tapp was active for the first time, and he played well. Tapp had a sack and two tackles for loss, playing inside. He made it impossible for the coaching staff to bench him the next couple weeks. Antwan Barnes ended up not dressing after two quiet games. It will likely stay that way for next week at least.
Trevor Laws delivered the best game of his career, filling up the stat sheet with a sack, two QB hits, two passes deflected and two tackles for loss. Like I said, I have to count the number of plays, but it seemed like Laws was at defensive tackle quite a bit.
Juqua Parker picked up his fourth sack of the season and is playing great football.
Earlier I posted on Vick's impressive performance.
