Jonathan Gannon talks Eagles’ young DTs, secondary improvements, and more

Just days away from the Eagles first preseason game, defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon talked to reporters about what he’s looking for from the defense, what he’s seen in camp from some of the young DTs, and also detailed some of his top teaching points for stopping RPOs.

Here’s what the defensive coordinator had to say:

On Friday’s preseason game

Gannon wouldn’t tip their hand as to whether the starters would play in Friday’s opening preseason game, or for how long. He said they talked about it again on Tuesday and it’ll be an ongoing conversation between himself, Nick Sirianni, and Howie Roseman, although he does anticipate them having an answer in the next 48 hours.
