While the Philadelphia Eagles<\/a> get their offensive staff in order, they lost a defensive coach<\/a>. However, standout defensive back Cooper DeJean<\/a> endorsed the new<\/a> defensive pass game coordinator, according to his post on X.<\/p>\n

DeJean put a smiling emoji above Dianna Russini\u2019s post on X that said, \u201cThe Philadelphia Eagles are promoting safeties coach Joe Kasper to be their new defensive pass game coordinator and DBs coach, per source. Kasper takes over for Christian Parker, who left to become the Cowboys\u2019 defensive coordinator last week.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Eagles are coming off a disappointing finish to their Super Bowl-defending season, losing in the Wild Card round to the 49ers.<\/p>\n

Eagles hoping to find the right pieces for 2026<\/p>\n

DeJean expressed disappointment when the Eagles lost Christian Parker, who went from the Eagles\u2019 defensive pass game coordinator to the Cowboys\u2019 defensive coordinator. But DeJean also spoke highly<\/a> of Kasper, according to nbcphiladelphia.com.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Parker has] poured a lot into me and Q too, ever since we got here,\u201d DeJean said. \u201cAnd I appreciate him for that. And not everybody notices him, and he doesn\u2019t get the recognition that I think he should. Him and coach (Joe) Kasper, what those guys mean to us in the DB room and how they coach, the intensity they bring, the passion they have for the game. It means a lot to us and doesn\u2019t go unnoticed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sometimes it\u2019s the behind-the-scenes guys who can make a difference. Kasper has served as the Eagles\u2019 safeties coach for two seasons.<\/p>\n

The Eagles ranked No. 13 in the NFL last season in terms of yards allowed per game at 314.2. They had the No. 8 pass defense. But they struggled against the run at No. 22.<\/p>\n

However, when it came to keeping the opposition off the scoreboard, the Eagles were tough. They finished No. 5, allowing only 19.1 points per game.<\/p>\n

What the 2026 season holds remains to be seen for the Eagles. But keeping their defense among the NFL\u2019s top units is their best bet for a return to the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n
