Sports) Somebody asked Eagles defensive coordinator Sean McDermott the other day whether his defense has looked better this summer than it did last year. "At which point last year?" McDermott asked with a laugh. "You know there's a number of new faces and it's one thing to look good in preseason and it's another to look good throughout each and every week of a 16-game schedule.
