Byron Maxwell has a disappointing debut

ATLANTA - It's no secret that the Eagles' most glaring weakness during the Chip Kelly era has been a porous secondary.

With the exception of safety Malcom Jenkins, who the Birds brought in as a free-agent upgrade last season, they basically cleaned house for 2015.

Not only did they break the bank for eattle Seahawks free-agent corner Byron Maxwell but the Eagles also brought in former Denver Broncos defensive backs coach Cory Undlin to strengthen technique and change the approach to the way the secondary played.

From the moment he stepped in the NovaCare center, Undlin stressed the Eagles' need to cut down on yielding pass-plays of 20 yards or more.
