Daseal, I don't agree that the Eagles don't have good corners. Shepard and Brown were 1st and 2nd rounders. They're young, but talented.

Talk about a good draft. In 2002, Philly selected Lito Sheppard (CB, Florida) in the first round, Michael Lewis (DB, Colorado), and Sheldon Brown (DB, South Carolina) both in the second round. Many said that the Eagles deliberately drafted this way as an answer to our pass happy Fun-N-Gun. Turns out they're able to let go of Bobby Taylor and Troy Vincent, start Brown and Sheppard at cornerback and they didn't miss a damn beat -- not against us anyway.
