It wasn't exactly a shock, or particularly hard news, when defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz said on SportsRadio 94WIP on Friday that he will run a 4-3 front and that he "can take the handcuffs off" of his defensive linemen and have them play attacking, penetrating football.
It was something suspected from the day the Eagles hired Schwartz, whose history suggested as much. The veteran defensive mastermind wants to bring the heat. His defensive linemen bring the heat. They play fast and they play aggressively and they attack up the field.
Everything about Schwartz and what he brings to the table sounds so promising, doesn't it?
