What's false GF? That they are small? I agree at 5'10" & 5'11"... they're just small-ish, and certainly not that far removed from the league average.
But they certainly are inexperienced. With 12 collective NFL starts between them, there's no denying that. What I saw of them last year, they performed well in Vincent and Taylor's absence. Will the same be true this year when teams have a chance to gameplan against them specifically?
... we'll see.
I'm sure as long as Dawkins is parading around in the secondary, the Eagles won't be too bad off, but I also think it's safe to say that, like in 2003, the success of the Eagles CB's will hinge greatly on the ability of the Eagles front 7 to pressure the QB. Johnson seems to manage to do that, but in the NFL, you're only ever an injury or two away from devastation.
I have my Jevon Kearse kupie doll, and I've been sticking it with pins for weeks. Every one of them right on that high ankle sprain.
