There’s no defense for the awful Eagles defense.
And new defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon is on the hot seat.
The Birds have been burned for 83 points, 851 yards, including 360 on the ground, in the last two games.
“I think we’re all pissed off about the last two games,” Gannon said. “We haven’t played great on defense. That’s evident. And that starts with me, and starts with the coaches.”
Gannon is 38 and in his first season as a defensive coordinator.
Head coach Nick Sirianni is also na first-time head coach, and he had been an offensive coordinator, not a defense specialist.
“I’m still very confident in Jonathan,” Sirianni said. “Obviously, you come off two games where you gave up (83 points). That’s not good enough, right? We all know that.”
Gannon’s admission:
“I don’t have a scheme. Our scheme should be to put our 11 guys on the field in the best position possible to succeed.”
But what happens when the Eagles don’t have players who can adjust?
You give up 83 points in the last two games!
