The Eagles secondary fell apart this season but it was at the peak of its powers last year. Bradberry was at/near a Pro Bowl level, Slay at/near All Pro level. Gardner Johnson and Marcus Epps were excellent for them.
And hell, even at LBer, I think we're forgetting how good Edwards and Reddick were for them. On the DL they had Hargrave, Sweat, Graham and Cox all playing outstanding football; at or near the best of their careers.
That Eagles defense was absolutely as good/better than this year's Ravens squad. And it's not just because of the names on the roster, but because so many of those names had seasons that met/exceeded anything they'd done before.
