I don't think it'll take long to fix at all. One player here and there with the right philosophy can completely change a team around.

Ringo could be traded for and under Team control for 2 years. And I think he's buried on the depth chart. Needs a fresh start.

Lord knows we've done enough for the Eagles...

Agree with your sentiment in that the turnaround can happen fast.

QB, RB, LB, TE, CB, WR, and punter is what I'm going to focus on during OTA's.

O line shuffle
3-4 or 4-3 or hybrid defensive front?

RB + Pass Catchers

If Trevor Penning has found his new and last home as a G, since the lone holdover coach from the previous regime is Jahri Evans, a former pro bowl guard himself, part of the blame for not using Trevor at G before ? So far the new starting lineup appears far more formidable than years past. Can't wait to see Penning bulldoze DLs and DEs as guard . Our bookends at LT and RT look to solidify for the next ten years ?
