The Philly D isn't that much like Dallas. Philly rushed 5+ consistently because they had excellent CBs and safeties. Dallas doesn't blitz much nor do they have a great secondary.
I disagree on all points. Philly didn't blitz consistently b/c they had a great secondary; they blitzed (and continue to blitz) b/c that's Jim Johnson's philosophy.
Wade Phillips is known for being a heavy blitzer, the OLB's get up the field very fast (just like burgess and kearse), and they have two in the box safeties who aren't great at pass coverage (like Dawkins and Lewis), so there are some similarities.
