Mike was a reserve...he would of started on most teams actually on the Eagles he was a reserve ..Reggie White probably passed the eye test......3 members on the D-Line were in the Pro Bowl
i thinking of the 1991 team actually as I looked up the best year of the late 1980s run to early 1990s.......20 Tds allowed all year the 85 bears gave up 22 TDs..gave up 3549 yards... 85 Bears gave up 4135 plus the eagles offense was much worse than the bears offense and were on the field longer..
Statistics site Football Outsiders ranks the 1991 Eagles as the greatest defensive team in their ranking's history.[1] Says Football Outsiders, "The 1991 Eagles completely lap the field in terms of defensive DVOA. Only the 2002 Bucs had a better pass defense, and only the 2000 Ravens had a better run defense, and the Eagles were much more balanced than either of those teams.
"It's crazy to imagine how few points the Eagles might have given up if they were playing with a halfway-decent offense instead of losing Randall Cunningham to a torn ACL in the first game of the season. The Eagles were stuck depending on an over-the-hill Jim McMahon for 11 starts, plus Jeff Kemp for two and Brad Goebel for two. McMahon actually wasn't half bad ... but the other two quarterbacks were awful, especially Goebel who had no touchdowns with six interceptions. And the running game was dreadful, with 3.1 yards per carry as a team.
