During Andy Reid’s tenure with the Philedelphia Eagles, He always ran a 43 defense. Now under Chip Kelly, who is on record saying he prefers to run the 34 defense, the Eagles are in store for a change. Further confirming this notion is now DE Brandon Graham during a conversation with Birds 24/7. “I think linebacker is where I’m going to be — outside linebacker,” said Graham in a phone conversations with Birds 24/7. For Graham, the change shouldn’t be too difficult since he played outside linebacker in high school. Graham even drew comparisons to Lamar Woodley before getting drafted in 2010. “I kind of like him at 3-4 outside linebacker,” said Mayock of Graham. “The first time I put a tape on, he reminded me an awful lot of Woodley. They both were tremendously stout against the run and they had some explosion getting up the field.” After going 4-12 last season, I’m sure Eagles’ fans will welcome any change as good change.
