Jim Schwartz stands by Jalen Mills, hints Eagles will use Avonte Maddox even more at safety

Jim Schwartz indicated Tuesday that we are likely to see more of rookie Avonte Maddox at safety, and at least a little less of 33-year-old Corey Graham there, as the Eagles continue to seek solutions for dealing with Rodney McLeod's injury absence.

But in the aftermath of Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss at Tennessee, the howls of the fan base have been much more focused on cornerback Jalen Mills. What does Schwartz want to do there — move Sidney Jones outside from his nickel spot? Move Mills inside, perhaps? Maybe Mills could help out at safety, instead of regularly being abused deep by speedier wide receivers?
