earns praise:
...LB Erik Walden: What a night for Walden. If his preseason is any indication of what’s to come when the games start to count, he could have quite the season. Walden has been on a tear, recording 1 ½ sacks Saturday night to go along with his three tackles.
But his contributions can’t be measured only in numbers. Walden has been, at times, unblockable in this preseason. But he doesn’t get enough credit for doing the dirty work, setting the edge against the run and mixing it up in the trenches where he has a significant impact on the run defense.
Still, the highlight of Saturday night for Walden was, undoubtedly, his sack of Nick Foles with 13:14 left in the second quarter. He exploited rookie tackle Rob Havenstein, blowing by the lineman with an unbelievable burst out of his two-point stance for a clear shot on Foles.
