Straight-line speed is a small part of a cornerback's needed skill set, but it is an important one. The Eagles' lack of it has been on display throughout training camp, with Carson Wentz lobbing deep ball after deep ball over Mills, Douglas and veteran journeyman Patrick Robinson. For sure, Wentz deserves plenty of credit: He has been remarkably accurate on his deep throws throughout the summer. But the sheer number of shots down the field available to him had been jarring enough to think that it would be a deal breaker for any playoff hopes. This is the worst group of corners the Eagles have had perhaps in their history. And that is saying something.
