Philadelphia Eagles defensive lineman Jordan Davis expects the team to show improved defensive execution during the 2026 season. Now entering their third year under defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, the unit has moved past the initial learning phase of the scheme. Davis noted that players can now diagnose plays and make adjustments without constant sideline input, a shift from the frequent coaching changes experienced during his tenure. The transition from previous systems under Jonathan Gannon, Sean Desai, and Matt Patricia has finally given way to stability, allowing the core defenders to master Fangio’s specific requirements. While Davis acknowledged that the defense may require time to build its identity, he emphasized that the team possesses a deeper understanding of the scheme compared to previous years. The veteran defensive core intends to utilize this continuity to assist new players in mastering the defensive playbook more quickly.
