The Philadelphia Eagles' defense right now is like a basketball team on a brutal offensive drought. They're getting stops, but they can't buy a bucket. They’re missing open shots and failing to execute in the clutch. Everyone is waiting for a spark, for a veteran to take a charge or hit a momentum-shifting three. Instead, the ball keeps clanking off the rim. This has fans scanning the bench, hoping to see a familiar jersey check into the game.
The dream took shape as a whisper. The whisper became a rumor. Now, that rumor is a full-blown conversation buzzing through the city.
