Happy Memorial Day weekend to the sickos out there, as we take a spin around the grid of discussion. As the Eagles wrap up their first week of OTAs, we reflect on defensive group that includes the emerging Jalen Carter, the hopes of an improving Jordan Davis, the introduction of Bryce Huff and a secondary with new blood like Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean. How does that group compare to the Patrick Robinson-Jalen Mills-Chris Long-Nigel Bradham iteration from the Eagles’ Super Bowl-winning team? Zach Berman provides the questions, Bo Wulf supplies the half-answers, you enjoy the ride.

Fresh off the sweaty practice field at the NovaCare Complex, we’re live with everything you need to know about the first open spring practice for the Eagles. Second-year offensive lineman Tyler Steen worked with the starters at right guard. Quinyon Mitchell looked good when tested deep, but lined up with the second-team defense while Isaiah Rodgers worked with the starters. Saquon Barkley’s thighs were as advertised. Zach Berman and Bo Wulf explain everything important they saw from the small (Kellen Moore looks like Howie Roseman kind of?) to the huge (Mekhi Becton).
