I really dont understand the love for Davis from you people...I truly think its you davis lovers who need to "watch him play"...just because the dude makes one or two tackles at the LOS doesnt mean hes capable linebacker (a capable backup, absolutely!). I realize you guys are so used to seeing Poz drag down ballcarriers 15 yards downfield so watching Davis make one or two plays a game gets ya all juiced up inside...but I HAVE watched the dude play, and more often than not I see him getting sealed off, mis diagnose plays or just be plain slow in getting to the point of attack...i was over Davis when this season started and cannot wait until Shepp takes over full time for him (even Davis himself is lobbying for Shepp. to be the man inside, whats that tell ya, other than "Andra is such a nice man")
And as for whoever said "its no coincidence our run D has been better with Davis"...ummmm...disagree on two fronts
1) our run D really isnt alllll that better - granted itd improved, we probably wont be last in the league, but I would be very suprised if we crack the top 20 in rushing D at the seasons end
2) another year in the scheme for players, addition of other players (ex. Dareus) and the stepping up of others on the team contribute to an "improved" run D, nottttt just Davis
Time to turn over the reigns to Shepp, who clearly has more upside and is an all around better player RIGHT NOW...sorry Davis lovers
