Eagles News: Philadelphia needs their defensive line to carry them

The one thing that could save Eagles’ season - NBCSP
Graham and Cox rank fifth and seventh in Eagles history in sacks. Jackson and Hargrave were key pickups the last two offseason. Sweat and Barnett are both off to good starts with two sacks in three games. There’s no excuse if this group doesn’t perform at a high level. They’re healthy, they’re experienced and all of them except Sweat were either big-money free agents or first-round picks. The outlook is grim for the Eagles. If they’re going to make a bid for respectability over the next 13 weeks, it’ll have to start with the guys up front.
