What did you expect him to say?
Bulletin Board material......................nice.
Eagles have one of the best pass rushes in the NFL...
Actually I think Logan is actually pretty good -- so far in 2014 he has 32 solo tackles (38 tackles overall) which is outstanding for a NT.
For a point of comparison Tyron Crawford has 16 solo tackles (20 tackles overall).
We've had almost the exact same schedule as they have...
Who was the boxer that refused to call Cassius Clay by his new name, Muhammad Ali?
.
Yet they are ranked 30th in pass defense due to their bad secondary.

But no one is comparing our pass rush to theirs. So the schedule doesn't matter.
Eagles have 38 sacks this year which looks impressive. But if you dig deeper you'll see some chinks in that armor. 24 of their 38 sacks have come in just three games - NYG, Carolina and Tennessee. That's only 14 sacks in their other 8 games. OK, not great. Their four toughest games thus far have been San Fran, Indy, Arizona and GB. In those four games they have only 5 sacks (and 4 were against San Fran - they didn't register a sack in the Arizona or Indy games).
So the Eagles pass rush might be overrated just a tad. The feast on bad teams with bad OLs but seem to be handled by better teams. Will be interesting to see how we handle their blitz.
Eagles DT Bennie Logan on Cowboys' highly regarded offensive line: "They're OK. I don’t really know what’s great about them.”
To be honest. That sack total is up because they have been feasting on terrible offenses and offensive lines. Notice that they have a losing record against playoff teams.
