Training Camp Questions: The Coaches

Jul 21, 2010 at 02:21 PM

Where do the new coaches make their impact?

Special teams coordinator Bobby April and defensive backs coach Dick Jauron are vital additions to the coaching staff. They bring impressive portfolios and certainly aim to bring the Eagles great success.

April's special teams, then, are shooting for the top. With four Pro Bowlers in return man DeSean Jackson, kicker David Akers, punter Sav Rocca and long snapper Jon Dorenbos, April has a fantastic foundation. Jauron is working with a young cornerback group that looks to Pro Bowl standout Asante Samuel as its leader. The Eagles need some kids to grow up in a hurry here.
