Jim Schwartz talks Eagles’ blitzes against the Falcons, defensive rotations, and more

The Eagles are working to bounce back from their tough loss to the Falcons on Sunday night, and defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz spoke to the media on Tuesday about the cornerback and DT rotations, and a bit about how he’s been calling blitzes.

Schwartz said that he didn’t really call more blitzes than in Week 1 against Washington, maybe more all-out blitzes, specifically. He went on to say that a few times it was really well-executed and they made some key stops, but then they also paid the price on that last touchdown pass to Julio Jones.
