Jordan Davis Addresses New Role With Eagles
Jordan Davis Addresses New Role With Eagles originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Jordan Davis has been a very important part of the Philadelphia Eagles over the last few years as the former first-round defensive tackle has worked as a run-stuffer. Advertisement As he gets set for an important fourth season with the franchise, though, he knows that the team will be expecting even more from him in 2025. A big reason? Philadelphia needs him to be more of a pass rusher than ever before. Ever since he came out of Georgia, Davis has been known as more of a run-stopping defensive tackle. He never showed much pass rushing prowess with the Bulldogs or in his first four seasons with the Eagles. That is about to change. … or so the Eagles hope. Speaking to reporters during Eagles voluntary workouts, Davis detailed how he was preparing himself to be more than just a first- and second-down run defender. Advertisement 'I'm getting into great shape and working hard and understanding the nuances of pass rushing,' Davis said. 'Not even just (coach) Clint Hurtt, but (teammate) Nolan Smith has been teaching me things. "When it's just stuff like that, learning stuff from different players and coaches, they want you to be your best at pass rush. They want you. They expect that from you." Davis had his fifth-year option picked up by the Eagles this offseason. … in anticipation of getting more from him. In his first three seasons with the team, he managed to record just 3.5 sacks. Philadelphia will need a jump up from a former first-round pick from that kind of production. Advertisement That is why Davis is doing everything he can to be in shape - physically and intellectually - for the long season ahead. If he can build off of last year's improvements as a rusher, he may be in for his best year yet.

Former Seahawks DC Clint Hurtt is a Super Bowl champion
The Seattle Seahawks were obviously not apart of Super Bowl LIX on Sunday, but there was a familiar face involved with the big game. With the Philadelphia Eagles claiming victory over the Kansas City Chiefs with their dominant 40-22 triumph, it means a former Seahawks coach is now a Super Bowl champion: former defensive coordinator Clint Hurtt. Clint Hurtt was Seattle's defensive coordinator from 2022-2023 – the final two seasons of the Pete Carroll era with the Seahawks. Prior to his promotion, Hurtt was Seattle's assistant head coach and defensive line coach from 2017-2021. But after the Seahawks decided to move on from Coach Carroll, the franchise allowed Hurtt to seek other opportunities elsewhere. Such an opportunity presented itself in the City of Brotherly Love, where Hurtt became Philly's defensive line coach. His fingerprints were all over the Eagles' win, as the Birds put forth one of the greatest defensive line performances in the history of the Super Bowl. The Eagles harassed Patrick Mahomes from start to finish, sacking him six times and hitting him 10 times overall. The constant pressure even resulted in a strip sack fumble, which Philly recovered. Given how dominant the Eagles defensive line was, I would not be surprised if Hurtt gets his second shot at being a defensive coordinator again sooner rather than later.
