It is correct.

I hope they pressure Jalen Hurts all game.

He tends to take off more so than drop back in his limited snaps in Philly.

What's scary is that our defense still has a level it hasn't reached yet. If Lattimore can go from being one of the worst graded corners in the league to at least average, it could get nasty.

The numbers don’t look great for Latt but his play impressed me. Ridley made some unbelievable catches in the game. Latt did well considering the degree of difficulty on some of the receptions.

none of the past matters. nice that we are "ranked" #1 defense, but we've not faced the toughest teams on our schedule, yet. Chiefs and Vikes. Talk about what we're good at after we have faced a competent offense.

Our Dawgs are ready to hunt Eagles! Don't tell anyone. I think it's illegal to hunt Eagles. Godhell would really give us hell if he found out.

Marcus Wiliams is currently ranked the 6th best safety in the NFL among 90 qualifiers according to PFF.

I have bad dreams of tireek hill blowing by Marcus on his way to the end zone. And it really wakes me up.
