Much is expected from defensive tackles Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis this season.
The four-time All-Pro retired after his 12th NFL season, shifting the focus to recent first-round picks Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis on the interior of the defensive line.
And that’s been the focus for the Eagles this offseason because both players have the talent and skill sets to succeed. In fact, new defensive coordinator Vic Fangio is moving forward with the idea that the two will be the foundational pieces for his defense. As a comparison point, Cox, the foundational piece on the interior for over a decade, played 509 as a rookie in 2012 before going on a run of 11 seasons where he never dipped below 600 again. Cox had nine seasons of over 700 snaps, topping out with consecutive campaigns of over 900 in 2014 and 2015 .“He’s got to get in great shape,” Fangio admitted of Carter, “... so we can play him a lot.”
“Same thing. He's heading into his third year. I think he's off to a good start this offseason. I don't have anything to compare it to, not having been here his first two years,” Fangio said of Davis. “But I think he's working good. I think he's rounding into good shape.
