Philadelphia has unanswered questions at LB and S that could torpedo the 2023 season

The Philadelphia Eagles aren't a perfect team. That is no surprise.
But if the Eagles plan on making another run at a Super Bowl, the team must address the unanswered questions at two key positions.
ESPN recently ranked NFL rosters, and in that ranking, the world wide-leader predicted the Eagles' biggest question mark is the off-ball linebacker position and the safety position. Those are two positions that, if a team is trying to compete in the NFL, they don't want to have questions about.
Let's take a peek at what ESPN had to say about the Eagles' weakest units:
"Off-ball linebacker and safety (tie). At linebacker, T.J. Edwards and Kyzir White are out and will be replaced by Nicholas Morrow, Nakobe Dean and Davion Taylor. At safety, Terrell Edmunds and Reed Blankenship are competing to replace Marcus Epps and C.J. Gardner-Johnson. Morrow and Edmunds are solid players who combined to play 1,892 snaps last season, and Dean has upside as a 2022 Day 2 draft pick, but it's a bit of a concern when your conference champion-winning defense loses five of its top nine snap-getters."
The NFL is built to inspire player movement and parody Good teams are often gutted by the next season. That didn't change for the Eagles. But it is clear that Philadelphia is expecting some of the non-household names to step up and contribute in a big way come the 2023 season.
