birdman#12 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 We've all seen how necessary having depth is when making a super bowl run. The eagles have good depth at defensive tackle. Injuries are the one thing that could derail the season if they come in bunches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagle45 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 They just need to make sure he works on his conditioning and doesn't gain 50 pounds while he's out. Otherwise, this will all be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes - but opponents saw last year and in the Detroit game this year, that you can run against the Eagles without Davis in the game. I’d hate to face the cowboys and Giants with Zeke, Pollard and Saquan in December and beyond without him. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seengreen Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Bummed for him because he was showing game to game improvement. Also, with his weight and body, being dormant isn't good for conditioning. I'd take a run at Suh, but he's a known lockeroom disruptor. Who else is available?

Davis injury sure makes it more challenging.....but I think Gannen has to address this with personnel and scheme also. With or without Davis, the eagles shouldn't be giving up this kind of yardage on the ground. And, like you said, the eagles face some really good ground games in the coming games, especially if they don't jump out into the lead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JournalistMic Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 I am so thankful that it was only an ankle injury, he will be healthy and ready to play for the Playoffs! Honestly I would just let his ankle heal for 7 weeks. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-1000 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 I realize he's a bigger guy but there is no way he is missing 6 weeks with a high ankle sprain. Jonathan Taylor and David Montgomery both recently had them and only missed 1 or 2 games. Davis will probably miss 2 or 3 games unless there was structural damage. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Eagles under Siri are very tight lipped about injuries. To me, the good news is that the team didn't trade for a defensive tackle before the deadline. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't there some sort of "rookie wall" where they just aren't used to playing 17 games? Would Davis being out count against that rookie wall? As in, being injured might ultimately result in more in the tank for the playoffs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An injury is a setback. Fortunately, the recovery timetable is less time than the remaining season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh we still have a pretty strong 4-man rotation at the position. Davis was only playing what like 35% of the snaps. Milton Williams and Tuliloopilui can absorb most of that.

Very true.. however we have no idea what the run D would look like with Quinn at D-end and BG playing inside. BG has always been great vs the run. Will it be like having Davis in there... no.. but maybe it won't be horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
