Re: Eagles round 2. Pregame
I think we have a tendency to want to see more from our solid defensive players because those players have shown they belong in the NFL and we think they may have the talent to give even more than they already do. It's unfair in the sense that the thing that could enable our capable players to do more would be to have better players playing next to and around them.
Conversely, there is little reason to expect more from players who have been around awhile but haven't done much, so we don't talk as much about those players needing to improve. The old saw that "You can't polish a turd" applies.
Our top players on defense will never reach their full potential on this team unless and until they have better players working with them.
