Here’s a position-by-position review of the Eagles’ defense, after having re-watched Saturday night’s game against the Jaguars.

Billy Davis indicated today that he’ll make his final evaluations on starters after Saturday night’s preseason game against the Jaguars.

Keeping that in mind, here’s a position-by-position look at which spots are up for grabs, along with comments from Davis.

A position-by-position review of the Eagles’ defensive performance against the Panthers, after having reviewed the game.

Here’s what we saw from the Eagles’ defense after having reviewed Friday night’s game against the Patriots. Notes on Vinny Curry, Fletcher Cox, Jake Knott and others.

Did the Eagles do enough to upgrade at cornerback? What’s Brandon Boykin’s ceiling? Our training camp preview series continues.

Hang around enough NFL coaches and players in the offseason, and you’re sure to hear about the second-year leap.

The theory goes like this: Rookies need time to adjust to several different factors. The structure and rules associated with a college program are gone. They are on their own, away from friends and family. And they are earning (legal) paychecks.

Add in the speed and talent associated with the pro game, and it’s clear life in the NFL requires an adjustment period.

That’s why the offseason from Year 1 to Year 2 is considered crucial. Initial questions have been answered, and expectations have been set. Second-year players can focus more on just on-field improvement.

“It’s already easier,” said linebacker Mychal Kendricks during mini-camps. “It’s crazy, knowing the formations and knowing the count without even having to look.

“Everything slows down the second year. It’s crazy, I can’t explain it.”

We’ve spent plenty of time talking about the Eagles’ new additions, and Tim covered the rookies a couple days ago. But below is a look at the second-year players and where they stand going into camp.

In this week’s Twitter Mailbag, we cover Brent Celek’s trade value and training camp position battles to keep an eye on.

The initial overhaul during the summer of 2011 didn’t work out, so the Eagles tried again this offseason.

Gone are Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and Nnamdi Asomugha. In are Cary Williams and Bradley Fletcher.

During the draft, the Eagles didn’t find corner help early, but they grabbed Oregon State’s Jordan Poyer in the seventh round.

As recently as last offseason, it looked like the assets acquired in the Donovan McNabb and Kevin Kolb trades would play a major role in re-shaping the Eagles’ defense.

But looking ahead to 2013, that probably won’t end up being the case.

According to a report, the Eagles will not use the franchise tag on Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. Assuming that holds up, what are their options at cornerback this offseason?

Eagles rookies get some love. Draft analysts look at who the Birds might target with the fourth pick. And an explanation of why the Eagles selected Daniel Te’o-Nesheim in the third round of the 2010 draft. Here’s a roundup of what the national media are saying about the Eagles this week.

From Mychal Kendricks to Fletcher Cox to Colt Anderson, here’s an All-22 look at what the Eagles’ defense looked like Sunday against the Bucs.

From draft positioning to how the rookies are performing, here are 10 things to know about how the Eagles’ defense matches up with the Cowboys’ offense.

Early on during today’s press conference, defensive coordinator Todd Bowles was asked about potentially making personnel changes in the Eagles’ secondary.

“We have possible lineup changes, and people compete everyday,” Bowles said. “There are no spots set in stone. We’re playing our best guys. If there was somebody that was stepping up to play better, they would be playing.”

Bowles didn’t mean it as a slight on the Eagles’ depth, but his comment spotlights the team’s lack of young talent at cornerback and safety.

Earlier this week, Todd Bowles talked about how the Eagles had problems executing a “high school cover-3” against the Panthers.

What did he mean? Let’s take a look at a few of the plays to see what exactly is going on with this defense right now.
