Josh Sweat has answered the Eagles’ cry for help at DE
Like learning a foreign language, there’s only so much you can learn about in class – you have to get out there to really master it.
The same holds true with football, and as Josh Sweat is seeing increased snaps on defense, his production, talents, and results are improving at an absurd rate…which is great news for a team who came into this season leaning on the FSU product.
The Eagles lost both Chris Long and Michael Bennett this offseason and the need for efficient DE play spiked.
Bennett ended last season with the third-most QB pressures of any edge rusher since 2014. He had 37 last year, to go with 20 hits according to Pro Football Focus.
