Eagles' Malcolm Jenkins, Rodney McLeod have a strong partnership in secondary | David Murphy

RODNEY McLEOD was standing on the 43-yard-line when the sense of something familiar flickered through him. It was late in the first quarter of his first regular-season game as an Eagle, and he was settling into position as the deep man in a single-high set when the Browns broke the huddle for a second-and-4 play. As McLeod scanned the line of scrimmage from 17 yards downfield, he saw two Cleveland tight ends bunched tight to the right side of the formation along with diminutive wide receiver Andrew Hawkins. To anybody who had not spent much of his previous week poring over game tape of Hue Jackson's offense, the scene offered little to suggest what was about to unfold.
