Joining Markus this week is former Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Garry Cobb. Cobb was with the Eagles from the 1985-87 seasons and was a part of former defensive coordinator Buddy Ryan’s “Gang Green” defense. Markus and Garry will discuss the Eagles' defense going into the 2023 season, which is poised to be one of the best in the league this season. The Eagles return a number of key players from last year's unit, including defensive tackle Fletcher Cox, defensive end Brandon Graham, and cornerbacks Darius Slay and James Bradberry. The Eagles also added some key pieces in the draft, including defensive tackle Jalen Carter, edge rusher Nolan Smith, and cornerback Kelee Ringo. They have a strong front four, a talented secondary with good young depth, and solid linebackers.. If they can stay healthy, they will be a force to be reckoned with. With that defense, defensive coordinator Sean Desai remains an “X-Factor” when it comes to the unit’s success… but can that defense get BETTER? That gets to the topic of free agency, will Howie Roseman manage to land one more free agent before training camp starts in less than a week? The Eagles made some key signings this offseason including Rashaad Penny, Nick Morrow, Olamide Zaccheaus, Terrell Edmunds, Greedy Williams, and Marcus Mariota. What are your expectations for the newest Eagles signings and who will be the most impressive signing of 2023? Wrapping up the show, Markus will discuss the current situation of the running back market. Saquon Barkley, Josh Jacobs, and Tony Pollard left Monday’s deadline with no long-term extensions. Is the market for running backs doomed?
