I never said Davis was a bust. Just quite disappointing and way underperforming based on his drafts status and the picks given up to acquire him. He is out of shape. I base that not on pictures but that he was fairly dominating the beginning of the year and then completely trailed off as the season went longer. Same with last year. The NFL isn't going to accommodate Jordan Davis by reducing the season to 12-14 games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagles1960 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Jordan Davis played 17 snaps (25%) against the Giants. I sure hope the Eagles didn't tire him out too much and he will be able to play against Tampa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are getting ran over on defense. After today's game where the defense allowed 221 rushing, I don't think Davis is having the affect that we were expecting when he was picked last year. He also hasn't been able to disrupt the pocket on passing downs. What are your guys' thoughts? I do not think that Jordan Davis is a bust, he's a great Nose Tackle that is fantastic at stopping the run. I think that people expected him to be Fletcher Cox or Jalen Carter type of pass rushing DT and when he was drafted was a bit of a reach but I wouldn't say he was a bust. Do people really think that?

Most people, including myself, view him as a disappointment, not a bust. The feeling is (mine anyway) that the Eagles didn't pick him just to be a part-time run stuffer at #13 plus the picks they gave up. They expected more. If they expected what they have received so far then they picked him too high. I thought he looked good in the 1st QTR on Sunday. They should have let him play almost the entire game. Get him in shape by playing him in shape. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think NT Jordan Davis will be an NFL starter in year five and fight for a ProBowl spot that being said talk of being a bust is simply crazy talk to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breeze 44 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I wanted Hamilton so I'm biased but I believe if you're supposed to keep your weight at a certain number and you are CONSTANTLY above that number and not by a little, then you don't play and game check is withheld. I felt this was going to be a problem for him and it is...Christ a 1st round pick that can't plat 17 plays without looking like a folding chair...please.

brkmsn Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I'm not sure why anybody expected him to be an NFL standout during his 1st two seasons. He was far from a finished product in college and it was his athleticism that elevated his draft status. While I would have liked to have seen his production sustained from early in the season to late, I did like the improvements he did make from year 1 to year 2. His snap percentage increased a lot. That will help inspire him to continue to work on his conditioning in the offseason. There is progress --- it just needs to continue. He seems to be a high character guy and I expect him to put in the work to keep improving. I know a lot of people that were fans in the '80s think highly of Jerome Brown to this day, but many seemed to have forgotten the criticisms around him his first 2 seasons. He was accused of being fat, out of shape, lazy, and taking downs off. Honestly, with the talent around him, he under-performed in those (1st two) seasons. Obviously, in those days defensive line rotations weren't much of a thing, but teams were able to properly condition players in the offseason, preseason, camp and practices that are very limited by today's CBA. I'm not saying Davis is the next Brown. I'm just reminding people that some first round picks take a few years to fulfill their potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
