Cardinals blitzed at the second-highest rate in the NFL. If Joseph is indeed on the #Eagles’ radar, an interview would suggest they want a more aggressive defense. https://t.co/yhO7eux5Jn

After watching Jonathan Gannon’s passive approach bring frustrating reviews, the Eagles could be looking to get more aggressive on defense.
Josina Anderson is reporting that Philadelphia will request permission to interview Vance Joseph, the Cardinals’ current defensive coordinator who’ll be looking for work once Gannon assembles a staff.
Gannon was the Eagles’ defensive coordinator for the last two seasons and led a unit that finished second in yards allowed and eighth in points allowed during the 2022 regular season.
Gannon’s unit was also criticized for getting shredded by elite signal callers, allowing an 80+ completion percentage on several occasions.
