Ja’Marr Chase, Kyle Pitts, DeVonta Smith, Jaylen Waddle, Rashod Bateman, the names of potential first round receivers is ever-growing. Well I guess you can cross off the first two names… But what if the Eagles plan is to go back to what worked? What if the plan is to fortify the defense and further develop the offensive pieces they have in place?
In the 2001 season, the Eagles went 11-5 behind 3,233 yards from McNabb, the most receiving yards being 833 from James Thrash and the next being 626 from Duce Staley, and the second best passing defense in the NFL.
