Whether it was the change of scenery or a player who simply needed a year to adjust to the league, Hester played much better for the Eagles as an NFL sophomore than he did during his rookie season for the Oakland Raiders. As a rookie, Hester graded out as the 63rd-best interior defender out of 131 players who logged at least 200 defensive snaps. During his second season, he graded out at 13th out of 129. As a pass rusher, his win rate jumped from 6.6% to 13.2% from Year 1 to Year 2, and his average depth of tackle in run defense dropped from 2.62 yards to 1.44 yards.Are Eagles eyeing any 2019 NFL Supplemental Draft targets? - BGNThompson makes sense for the Eagles’ secondary room in that he’s a Maddox-like player. Nickel coverage primarily, but could provide some safety/switch versatility given his range of experiences in college. The Eagles are still looking for a young safety to develop behind Malcolm Jenkins and Rodney McLeod — and if Thompson is that guy, they could cut Andrew Sendejo and return the comp pick he’s currently blocking. Thompson would likely cost a 4th or 5th-round selection. I wouldn’t hate him in the fifth for the Eagles at all.The Kist & Solak Show #103: Did Schwartz Save the Eagles’ Season? - BGN RadioMichael Kist asks Benjamin Solak, “Did Jim Schwartz save the Eagles’ season?” PLUS the gang discusses the MVP odds headed into the 2019 NFL season! Powered by SB Nation and Bleeding Green Nation.Mailbag: Nonsense, (mostly) non-Eagles, July 4th edition - PhillyVoiceCowboys: They’re delusional about how good they are, and don’t let recent, numerous failures get them down for too long. They also have resorted to celebrating modest accomplishments, like, saaaayyy Womens Destiny Vaeao Jersey , sweeping a division rival ravaged by injuries, for example. Those are qualities I like in my cornerbacks.Making Plays - Iggles BlitzMost defensive coaches focus on points allowed. Jim Schwartz is a disciple of the Buddy Ryan coaching tree and those guys wanted their defenses to make plays. It is surprising that the Eagles out-performed the Cowboys in so many categories when you think about how banged up the Philly secondary was. Rookie Avonte Maddox had two INTs for the Eagles in less than a full season. That total would have tied for the team lead in Dallas. Schwartz and his staff preach the importance of takeaways. They make that a focal point of gameplans. Rod Marinelli has been on some teams that came up with a ton of takeaways, but you wonder how much of that was scheme and how much just individual talent. Coaching guys like Derrick Brooks and Peanut Tillman can make anyone look good. Mike Tanier Fixes the NFL Fanbase Rankings - B/RThe misunderstood, much-maligned grandchildren of the folks who booed Santa Claus in 1968 now heckle and initiate road fans and boo their own team out of a sense of tradition and ceremony, not malice. The national media still follows Eagles fans around like a crooked sheriff hoping to pull them over for a flickering taillight, but going to Lincoln Financial Field is more like going on a haunted hayride than attending the medieval witch burnings at old Veterans Stadium. Eagles fans know their stuff, tailgate like champions and have proven they can get through Super Bowl celebrations while being a danger only to themselves and awnings. Some are even downright friendly. So long as you aren’t wearing a Cowboys jersey.Studs & Duds - The NFL’s All-Time Best And Worst Free Agent Signings - The Draft NetworkDUD - Philadelphia Eagles CB Nnamdi Asomugha. Asomugha signed a 5-year, $60M contract with the Philadelphia Eagles back in 2011. And heck, considering his status as a three time Pro Bowler and two time All-Pro defender (all in the three seasons prior to leaving Oakland, no less), who could blame them? Asomugha faced only 87 pass attempts in his final three seasons with the Raiders, he was considered a bona-fide stud. There’s just one *little* problem here. Asomugha was a press man defender who thrived beating up receivers early on in reps and riding them out from there. The Eagles? They asked him to play in space. The “Dream Team” of 2011 lived up to their name with this signing -- because you’d have to be dreaming to think that kind of transition after 8 years of press man would work.Who Is the Best Wide Receiver in the NFL? - The RingerThere may be more receiving talent in the league than ever, and five players have a claim to be the best at their craft. Does Antonio Brown, Odell Beckham Jr., Michael Thomas, Julio Jones, or DeAndre Hopkins reign supreme?From Brady’s Nightmare to Dallas Sucks Corey Graham Jersey , the best NFL-themed beers - ESPNWhen it was brewed: Weyerbacher put it out in the beginning of the 2017 season -- the Eagles’ Super Bowl-winning season. In the first year, Weyerbacher thought they would do 500, maybe 1,000 cases. They ended up doing 14,000 over three months. Now they brew it on a limited basis.Jared Lorenzen performed miracles right in front of me - SB NationLorenzen, who tragically passed away today at age 38, was more than the largest quarterback anyone has ever seen....Social Media Information:BGN Facebook Page: Click here to like our pageBGN Twitter: Follow @BleedingGreenBGN Manager: Brandon Lee Gowton: Follow @BrandonGowtonBGN Radio Twitter: Follow @BGN_Radio Ranking the top 8 safeties in the division"WhiteFanposts Fanshots Eagles StoriesScheduleRosterStatsYahoo Eagles NewsYahoo Eagles Team PageYahoo Eagles ReportYahoo Eagles Depth ChartYahoo Eagles TransactionsYahoo Eagles PhotosOdds About Masthead Community Guidelines StubHub 鉁旴reaking NewsThe Eagles' 2019 draft class is finalized 脳NFC East Positional Power Rankings - SafetyNew,49commentsTime for Defense, Ladies and GentlemenEDTShareTweetShareShareNFC East Positional Power Rankings - SafetyBill Streicher-USA TODAY SportsIf you have been living under a rock, please check out the archives below to see how other positions have stacked up in the NFC East.Archive: QB | RB | WR | TE | OT | OG | C 1. Malcolm Jenkins - Philadelphia Eagles2018 Stats: 63 Tgts - 48 Recs | 481 yds - 3 TD - 1 INT | 106.6 Coverage Rating | 5 PressuresPFF Grade: 79.2Key Stat: Led NFL safeties with 230 coverage snaps taken from slot.Seeing Jenkins at the top of this list should be a surprise to no one. Not only has he been a reliable veteran presence for the Philadelphia defense on the field, but he has been a community leader and vocal activist off the field. Jenkins is not only one of the best safeties in the division (148 snaps), but also one of the top slot cornerbacks (362 snaps), linebackers (513 snaps), and special teamers (157 snaps) in the division. He is the NFL version of a renaissance man and is truly a rare breed of player. With two more years left on his contract, Jenkins isn’t going anywhere soon.2. Landon Collins - Washington2018 Stats: 43 Tgts - 33 Recs | 397 yds - 3 TD - 0 INT | 127.8 Coverage Rating | 5 PressuresPFF Grade: 70.4Key Stat: Accounted for 7.2% of run stops when on the field (ranks 3rd among safeties).When I first read that Collins was traded, my first thought was “well there goes a great talent from a divisional rival.” My second thought? Let’s just say it wasn’t a family-friendly word. While my opinions on the strategy of the Giants’ “rebuild” is likely worthy of its own article, let’s just say that I vehemently disagree with letting Collins walk. Him signing with a divisional rival is exactly what the Giants deserve. With approximately 60% of his snaps taken from the box http://www.eagleslockerroom.com/authentic-corey-clement-jersey , I have always thought of Collins as a glorified linebacker. His presence is predominately seen by opposing offensive lineman, tight ends, and running backs as he generally a terror in the running game. His coverage skills are among the worst in the division, but his impact on the game is among the highest. While I wouldn’t take Collins over Jenkins, I’d probably start him over just about any other safety in this division.3. Jabrill Peppers- New York Giants2018 Stats: 35 Tgts - 24 Recs | 249 yds - 5 TD - 1 INT | 116.5 Coverage Rating | 12 PressuresPFF Grade: 77.6Key Stat: 67 Pass Rush Snaps were 2nd most by an NFL Safety last yearSpeaking of dumb moves that the Giants made, a separate one resulted in Peppers joining up with the New York Giants. While I like Jabrill Peppers, I think of him as a poor mans Landon Collins of sorts. He was used as a pass rusher quite frequently by the Browns (15% of passing snaps) and was fairly effective in that area registering 12 QB pressures. His coverage could use some work, but at the age of just 23 years old, it’s safe to say Peppers has plenty of growing to do. If I was a Giants fan, I’d be excited about Peppers’ future, even if he will always be linked to the loss of Odell Beckham Jr. 4. Rodney McLeod - Philadelphia Eagles2017 Stats: 16 Tgts - 13 Recs | 218 yds - 0 TD - 3 INT | 79.2 Coverage Rating | 2 Pressures2017 PFF Grade: 74.0Key Stat: Missed most of 2018 with a knee injuryWhen McLeod plays, he is usually a pretty solid player for the Eagles. He is infrequently targeted (approx. 1 reception for every 40 passing plays in 2017) and generally plays very well in coverage when he is thrown at. When I wrote about McLeod last year for the EaglesWire I commented on how his tackling abilities have been known to be suspect. If he can improve upon this, I think his potential as a traditional deep safety has a sky-high limit. 5. Xavier Woods - Dallas Cowboys2018 Stats: 25 Tgts - 17 Recs | 144 yds - 1 TD - 2 INT | 62.8 Coverage Rating | 0 PressuresPFF Grade: 70.5Key Stat: 62.8 Coverage Rating ranked 4th among qualified NFC East defensive backsIf Peppers is a poor mans Collins, Xavier Woods is somewhat a poor mans Rodney McLeod. He also excels in coverage and needs improvement in his tackling ability. He is also used as a traditional free safety in Dallas and seems to be a solid young player who could develop into a pro bowl player for the Cowboys.6. Antoine Bethea - New York Giants2018 Stats: 47 Tgts - 35 Recs | 242 yds - 2 TD - 0 INT | 99.8 Coverage Rating | 12 PressuresPFF Grade: 64.6Key Stat: Led NFL safeties with 54 tackles in the running game.The Giants appear to have taken a play from the Howie Roseman Guide to Team Management by signing Bethea this offseason. The (then) 33-year-old safety seemed to play much better than you’d think a 33-year-old safety could play last year for the Cardinals, however, that old age magic can only last so long (just ask your father). If I was a Giants fan, which I’m not Womens DeSean Jackson Jersey , I’d be pretty concerned about the fact that Bethea and Peppers both play the same style as Landon Collins did. While generally speaking, the concept of replacing something of greater value with two things of lesser value is a plausible path to take, on an NFL roster where only 1 box safety should be on the field at a time, this mentality is not going to work very well. My guess is that Bethea and Peppers will rotate while the Giants draft someone to start opposite of them. Good stuff, New York. Good stuff. 7. Jeff Heath - Dallas Cowboys2018 Stats: 49 Tgts - 38 Recs | 393 yds - 2 TD - 1 INT | 105.2 Coverage Rating | 2 PressuresPFF Grade: 56.6 Key Stat: Led NFL safeties with 13 missed tackles in the running game.Where the Giants have two box safeties rostered, the Cowboys have quite the opposite. Heath, like Xavier Woods, is a much better cover man than he is a quasi-linebacker. He is a terrible tackler and has generated just 9 quarterback pressures over 6 NFL seasons. His career Coverage Rating of 94.7 is decent, though not great, the fact that 75% of throws coming his way have been caught says a lot about his abilities. Heath is a fairly pedestrian player on a fairly pedestrian team. 8. Deshazor Everett - Washington Redskins2018 Stats: 7 Tgts - 6 Recs | 52 yds - 0 TD - 1 INT | 58.0 Coverage Rating | 0 PressuresPFF Grade: 64.4 (unqualified)Key Stat: 72% of snaps taken on special teams plays in 2018.Everett is about to be given his first real opportunity to be a starter in Washington, and fortunately for him, he’ll be playing alongside Landon Collins. With a 61% career reception percentage allowed and a career coverage rating of 78.4, I think it’s possible we see Everett slide up this list come 2020. ConclusionSafety has always been my favorite NFL position (thank you Brian Dawkins) and its always fun to evaluate the great safeties of the game. All in all, there is some very good talent on the back end of the NFC East secondaries and it should be fun to watch Dak Prescott, Eli Manning, and [insert starting Washington quarterback here] get embarrassed by them. Up next we will move along the outside of the field and cover the CBs of the NFC East. Thanks to Pro Football Focus for all statistics involved in this article.
