Philadelphia Eagles Head Coach Announced The Elite Commitment Star For….
Following an atrocity of the final two months of the 2023 season, the Philadelphia Eagles are eager and ready to get back to their 2022 ways. Already loaded with one of the most talented rosters in all of the NFL, the Eagles didn’t waste any time in bolstering their squad as the club brought in former Pro Bowl tailback, Saquon Barkley from NFC East rivals, New York Giants.
In addition to bringing in Saquon Barkley (Giants), general manager, Howie Roseman also secured the signings of CJ Gardner Johnson (Lions), DaVante Parker (Patriots), Devin White (Buccaneers), and traded for former Pittsburgh Steelers first-round pick, Kenny Pickett to presumptively be Jalen Hurts’ backup quarterback.
According to CBS Sports’ latest 2024 NFL Draft projections, the Philadelphia Eagles could be looking to add some youth and versatility in the form of Duke offensive lineman, Graham Barton. Future Hall of Fame center, Jason Kelce announced his retirement this off-season, and the former Duke product is expected to potentially best serve an NFL team at center, while also making starts for the Blue Devils at all five positions along the offensive line.“Graham Barton is a Swiss Army knife that can fulfill a variety of roles along that offensive line. His long-term fit may be unknown but, for now, he gives them insurance at a variety of positions in the event of injury.”
Following a season where they were a questionable pass interference call away from potentially winning Super Bowl 57, the Philadelphia Eagles were locked and loaded heading into 2023. A 10-1 start to their bounce-back campaign had everyone in ‘The City of Brotherly Love’ booking their Super Bowl 58 tickets…however, a 1-5 end to their regular season saw Nick Siranni and co. lose not just all of their momentum, but the NFC East divisional title. The Eagles downward spiral would continue in the NFC Wild Card Round as the team was dominated from start-to-finish to the .500 Tampa Bay Buccaneers to the tune of a 32-9 score.

Watch Meko Scott and Morgan Cannon break down the All-22 film from Lions CB Carlton Davis.
Towards the end of the 2023 season, there was a lot of chatter amongst Detroit Lions’ fans about the cornerback position. Did general manager Brad Holmes do enough in the offseason to solidify what has quickly become one of the most essential positions in the NFL?
As we know, the NFL game has changed dramatically in the last few decades. Gone are the days of ground-and-pound football. In the late 1990s and even into the early 2000s—many offenses were content with slamming their featured running back into the line of scrimmage 30-something times. Then, a few years later, everything changed in a big way.
Fast-forward to today where offenses have never been more dynamic and you begin to understand why such emphasis is placed on shoring up secondaries. It takes all 11 players to slow down modern-day offenses, but competent cornerback play can go a long way towards making life difficult for NFL quarterbacks.
In our latest video, Meko Scott and I break down the All-22 film of one of the Detroit Lions newest acquisitions: cornerback Carlton Davis III.
He has been banged up over the last few years, but make no mistake about it—when healthy, Davis is one of the more complete cornerbacks in the NFL. He is disciplined in zone coverage and willing to come up near the line of scrimmage to defend the run.
However, he may be at his best when tasked with covering an opposing a receiver in man-to-man coverage. He is supremely confident in his backpedal and change-of-direction abilities, and has a knack for getting his hands on the ball when a quarterback decides to throw it his way.
