Epic Drop: Top 10 Scapegoats for the Eagles season

Your list is here, and your bonus pick is... defensive coordinator Jim Johnson, who is suddenly looking like a foolhardy and utterly predictable play-caller. He should have the best talent of his tenure, especially at LB, and the defense has, until recently, stopped the run and not given up a ton of points. But they never give the offense a short field, they haven't gotten to the QB consistently, and without a healthy Lito Sheppard, they really don't look at all special. Maybe Dawkins can dial it back up again and give them a heart, but with their play-caller seemingly stuck doing the stuff that used to work years ago but isn't working now... well, there might need to be a shake-up beyond the roster.
