Defensively, Eagles have turned corner

Related Topics: Jim Schwartz, Leodis McKelvin

REPORTERS GOT one of their weekly looks at Eagles OTAs Tuesday, and just about every facet was scrutinized to an absurd degree, given that this is an NFL team trying to install a new offense and defense, in May, in short pants, without pads.

Among the breathless updates was that the starting corners seemed to be Leodis McKelvin and Ron Brooks, two newcomers who had played under new Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz in Buffalo in 2014. Seventh-round rookie Jalen Mills was added in first-team nickel packages, with Brooks moving inside.

Except, apparently, this was meaningless.

"If you come tomorrow, you'll see a completely different group," Schwartz said Tuesday, in his first public remarks since January.
