On an Eagles team that has always had a subpar (to say the least) secondary, this swagger is refreshing but its even better that it is backed up with great play to match the electric swag. I mean this guy has been called a top five corner in the entire league by many people. (not to mention he is rumored to have real estate in Amari Cooper's head, something that couldn't hurt as an Eagle).
Slay is a guy who has been to numerous Pro Bowls but very little playoff games. And from everything that I can tell he built for every bit of the playoffs. He's definitely looking to go deep into the post season with Philadelphia and he is guy you want guarding the other teams best receiver with a playoff game on the line.
Slay is someone who wants the game on his shoulders. He has said that he wants to be guy going up for a 50/50 ball in the corner of the endzone with no time left in the game with the other teams best receiver. He will take the other teams number one receiver and eliminate him from the game, take a guy that dominates games and makes him a non factor.
I'm excited to have Slay as an Eagles. Good secondary play is something that you don't realized while you have it, but it's the first thing that you notice when its gone.
The Eagles have gone a long time with out very quality secondary play. Yes, Malcolm Jenkins was quality and he was even elite but as good as Jenkins was for the birds, Slay is on another level and I cannot wait to see him lockdown elite receiver and bring great corner play and eventually great secondary play to the city.
Go Birds.
