Tyeler Davison, defensive tackle

Tyeler Davison signed a one-year deal with the Falcons after spending his first four seasons with the Saints, where he racked up 95 total tackles (49 were solo and nine resulted in a loss), 3.5 sacks, and three forced fumbles.

The interior of the Eagles’ offensive line played well in Week 1. Davison hopes to make sure that doesn’t happen in Week 2.

Austin Hooper, tight end

Austin Hooper hauled in nine receptions for 77 yards versus the Minnesota Vikings in Week 1, but this Eagles defense is a long way from what we’ve seen from Minnesota.

After seeing Vernon Davis and the Washington Redskins‘ receivers run over, past and around the Eagles secondary in the Eagles’ first game, it’s almost impossible to know what Philly will do in a game versus a squad with all of the talent that Atlanta has at wideout.

You know how that tends to open up the middle of the field for the tight ends. You know how the Eagles struggle with tackling from time to time. Hooper could cause some issues on Sunday night.
