Fletcher Cox Gives Blunt Assessment Of Eagles Defensive Coordinator

Cox talks about how he wants to be aggressive and not defending screens down the field.

That seems like a shot at Gannon and is not a good sign for the locker room moving forward.

Fletcher Cox Makes His Point Heard

It is rare for a veteran to call out a coach like this.

Perhaps Cox wants to shoot his shot in order to get traded to a contender before things get even worse.

He even acknowledges the fact that this is a new coaching staff in place so everyone is learning the ropes.

However, it has to be frustrating for an All-Pro veteran like Cox to play in a system where he feels like the coaching is not helping the team win.

Cox only has one sack so far this season and is barely getting in on tackles in general.

This is bad news for Gannon and his hope now is to not become a fall guy for the state of the team so early in his tenure.

His job status may come down to the job security held by first-year head coach Nick Sirianni.

If Sirianni is worried about his own job, others could lose theirs.
