LB — 5 — Nate Gerry, T.J. Edwards, Davion Taylor, Casey Toohill, Shaun Bradley
This group suffered a loss last Friday when Jatavis Brown decided to retire. Brown was likely a special teams ace at best, but he’s still a big loss as a veteran. With the Eagles looking to get faster and more versatile at the linebacker position, look for Jim Schwartz to employ more linebackers than he previously has and for Casey Toohill to see more time as a pass rusher than a traditional linebacker.
Davion Taylor could be the middle linebacker on obvious passing downs, and safety K’Von Wallace could also move into the box as well, while Nate Gerry solidified his status as the most veteran player out of the group.
