Daily News | Eagles’ Jordan Davis is making ‘scary’ progress, which could be pivotal against the Cowboys’ rushing attack
Earlier this season, Milton Williams gave Jordan Davis some advice on making the most of limited playing time.
So far, Davis has done just that. The first-round pick out of Georgia plays in the same personnel package Williams worked with last season, just as a one-technique instead of the 4i technique that Williams played. Davis’ addition facilitated Hargrave moving to the 4i , and has also led to the Eagles using more odd-man fronts with three interior linemen and two edge rushers up on the line of scrimmage.
The 6-foot-6, 336-pound nose tackle could be in for another increased workload Sunday night against the Dallas Cowboys. Davis has played the majority of his snaps on early downs to combat the run before ceding his spot to Cox or Hargrave for obvious passing situations. “They are doing a really good job in the run game,” Eagles defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon said Tuesday. “And it’s not just because they’re calling a lot of runs. They’re efficient and then create explosives with their runs. We’re going to have to do a good job. It’s not just Jordan. It’s all 11. Good run defense is all 11 guys. It’s not one guy.”
