Jonathan Gannon clarifies comment about the Eagles’ defense not having a scheme

Eagles’ defensive coordinator spoke to reporters on Tuesday and talked a bit about Darius Slay’s success shadowing DJ Moore on Sunday, what he expects to see from the Buccaneers offense, and also took some time to clarify his previous comments about not having a specific scheme.

Gannon noted that having Slay shadow DJ Moore was game-plan specific, and whether they have him do more of that this season will just depend on their opponent. He said that they evaluate the matchups they’ll face and determine what the best plan is for coverage.
