Marty McFly Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Rex always seems to take his old teams left overs. I dont see Davis setting Buf on fire tho TBH. If the price is rite like AlwaysBillieve said !@#$ it, were in need of cheap LB talent that know Rexs defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) Oh god. No. I don't think Rex wants him tbh. Edited January 28, 2016 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloHokie13 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I'd like it. He'd supplement the inside well enough and he already knows the scheme so calls might get called in more smoothly. Seems kinda like a Jim Leonhard move at this stage, there are probably better players out there physically but he understands where people should be and what adjustments to make.

John from Riverside Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Oh god. No. I don't think Rex wants him tbh.

I'm asking as someone who knows basically nothing about him. I'd just like to get both opinions.he was clearly targeting him in coverage the 1st game vs jets. He was the one Karlos abused on the TD catch. IMO that shows what he thinks of him. In the 2nd game, he barely played. Unfortunately if we don't sign Bradham and can't afford anyone better, I guess he's a body. Edited January 29, 2016 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeyBomb Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I'm going to say no. For a few reasons. There are positives and negatives here. Positives: knows how to tackle. And knows Rex's D. Negatives: Doesn't make huge plays. Not the best in cvg. We can find a far cheaper LB with more potential and more play making ability imo in someone who hasn't had the opportunity. Ty Powell is still on the team as wel guys. Don't sleep on him. He would have out played Bradham and probably Brown this year with how those guys played.

dreadlox Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Thanks guys for the info. His stats indicate he could at least be productive in Rex's D but Yolo's observation about his diminishing role on the Jests is a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillsMagic1 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Davis was one of guys Rex liked to talk up but to me he is even more overrated that CB we saw sammy destroy in out last game. Average at best is Davis. We could do better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarleyNY Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 http://www.nfl.com/combine/profiles/demario-davis?id=2533008 I know nothing about him, but sometimes starting at the beginning and seeing what kind of prospect he was helps bring his picture into focus. Thanks to those with real insight who responded - BB, Yolo, etc. I linked his pre-draft write up from NFL.com. His speed, explosiveness and change of direction abilities are all outstanding. He was the top LB performer in 4 categories. He also has good size. Yet he was projected to be a 5th round pick (according to the linked write up). He was drafted in the 3rd. It seems he was a raw, small school prospect who possessed great athletic ability. He was actually the kind of prospect I love in the late rounds because sometimes the lack of quality coaching is what's holding them back. But I do not select such players in the third and I certainly expect their ceiling will be apparent within 4 years. Judging from what I've read I'd say he'd be a cheap, backup level player who knows the system. Probably not a ton of upside to him as a defensive player, but he might hold some value on Specials.

thebandit27 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 we need two ILBs now Yes, but one of them needs to be rangy and athletic and able to cover That's not Brown, and it's definitely not Davis You can never have enough LBs. Wouldn't you rather have watched two Preston Browns than one Preston brown and a Tarpley?

Bleeding Bills Blue Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I think him and PB play the same spot. As does Powell, who is probably cheaper. Davis is also bad. So... there's that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powell actually would play the Will, whereas Brown is more of a Mike, which is also what Davis plays. And yes, I don't think he's very good...and I think his idiotic posing after making a tackle for no gain in Week 17 while down a score with less than 2 minutes remaining in a game they had to have to make the playoffs says a lot about his intelligence.

26CornerBlitz Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 @TyDunne Notes: Florida's Antonio Morrison could be one one ILB option (and one vet could become available, too). http://bills.buffalonews.com/2016/01/29/senior-bowl-notebook-floridas-morrison-could-be-the-answer-at-linebacker/ There will be rookie options and, certainly, veteran options. If Davis is released, Ryan will be intrigued. The 27-year-old Davis, a third-round pick by the Jets in 2012, has started the last three seasons. He had 90 tackles and two sacks this past season, though he struggled in coverage against running backs and was platooned with Erin Henderson the last six games.

gonzo1105 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Even if Davis doesn't start we have zero depth at the LB spot. I don't see how it would hurt to bring him in, give him a chance to compete and if he gets beaten out so be it he can be a depth player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
