The Eagles gave up 49 sacks this season. Even when you have a guy who likes to run around behind the line of scrimmage, that is a very high number, especially when ‘that guy running around’ is as athletic as Michael Vick.
The Eagles should not be particularly worried about their offense, even with the possible departure of Marty Mornhinweg. Brad Childress could likely step right in if Mornhinweg does leave, and the Eagles have a lot of solid pieces in place for 2011. The offensive line, however, is a concern, as seen by those 49 sacks they allowed this season, so a tune-up is in store for Philly’s O-line.
Philadelphia’s defense looked pretty bad for much of the season, especially in the latter stages of it. However, the poor defensive play can be partially attributed to injuries on that side of the ball. Once the Eagles have their whole defense back to square one, there should just be a few little things to take care of and they should be set to defend their NFC East crown next year.
