Earlier this week, Baltimore Beatdown’s own Logan Levy wrote a piece about the Philadelphia Eagles being a blueprint of success for the Baltimore Ravens.
Levy’s points were primarily geared towards how the Ravens could rebuild their receiving corps the same way that the Eagles did this past offseason. While in theory that does sound nice, but another part of the Eagles’ turnaround should be attributed to coaching and player evaluation.
As Levy mentioned, the Eagles had a putrid group of receivers in 2016 before acquiring Alshon Jeffery and Torrey Smith last March, but a quick glance at the numbers show that those two receivers combined only had 32 more yards receiving than Mike Wallace and Jeremy Maclin combined.
