Philadelphia Eagles: Defensive shortcomings fall on GM Howie Roseman

Simply put, the Eagles don’t have a good defense. From their atrocious secondary to their inability to generate a consistent pass rush, Jim Schwartz’s unit has struggled in nearly every facet this season.

The warning signs were there this past offseason.

The team finished last season with the 30th-ranked pass defense in the NFL, yet, Roseman didn’t have any notable offseason moves to help improve the secondary.

Roseman also traded away one of the team’s best pass rushers from a year ago in Michael Bennett for a 2020 fifth-round pick and then lost defensive end Chris Long to retirement.
