Here is an excerpt from Phil Perry over at CSN commenting on today's practice:
" When the Patriots got into their dime package during Philadelphia's two-minute hurry-up they used some interesting defensive personnel. Zach Moore (who appeared to injure his leg but came back later in the practice) was at defensive tackle. Safety Nate Ebner was in slot. McCourty and Duron Harmon were at safety with Malcolm Butler and Brandon Browner on the corners. As usual, Rob Ninkovich, Chandler Jones, Jamie Collins and Dont'a Hightower were also out there"
The piece on Moore caught my eye as I liked what little I saw of him against the Redskins. Plus if there is one area of the defense I'm not sure about it's the interior rush, particularly in passing substitution situations.
