Popular Post Simon Posted September 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 27, 2020 Just wanted to give Gabe Davis his propers for the work he put in (and I mean work) on that 4th and 9 play that saved the day today. The corner got a great jam on him and if he had allowed himself to be redirected in that instant, the pass falls incomplete anyways, the flag never comes out and the Bills take a brutal loss. Instead he fought like a goddamned tiger all the way through the route, gave the DB more than he was ready to handle and drew a huuuge penalty that actually changed the W/L column. That killer effort was the only reason the side judge threw that flag (or maybe because he knew he had blown the call on the Kroft non-INT and was subconsciously looking for a place to square it up ; - ) Most young players are not so proactive in big moments like that and would panic and try to alter their route, but the fact that Davis' natural instinct was to fight like hell when it was all on the line bodes very, very well for his future in this league. It's not something you're going to see talked about on highlight shows, on message boards or on radio programs but it is absolutely something that gets noticed in the locker room where it counts. So congrats Gabriel on another great day and for continuing to earn the respect of both your teammates and your opponents (but mostly your teammates, cuz **** your opponents).

ChevyVanMiller Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 The kid is going to have a very productive career. You can just see that he has that “it” factor that the great ones possess. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 I’m so excited about Davis. Very rarely does a 4th round Rookie come in and make big plays this quickly, with such savvy. He seems like a big time steal 30 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Agreed. He seems wise beyond his years. He's a great addition to the team and I think we'll see a lot more 4-WR until other teams show they can handle it... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realtruelove Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 The footwork on the sideline catch was extremely impressive. He reminds me of Andre Reed. Very physical and a student of the game. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bufflow4 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Such a sure handed receiver already. All of our receivers with a lot less drops so far this year, actually, and it’s making a huge difference for the offense. I wonder if that has to do with Josh putting more touch on the ball or Diggs leading by example and challenging others to be on top of their game. Whatever the reason, I’m loving the results.

JerseyBills Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I gotta see the All 22 but I'll take your word because Davis is playing at a high level for a 4th rounder. No Smoke Brown for most the game and Davis stepped in just fine! No Knox, Moss either. Gabe Had an impressive day ! We got some real firepower on offense I'm confident the D will get their consistency down. Through 3 weeks , seems like all defenses are struggling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hemma Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 5 minutes ago, BadboyBills said: I also think because of Allen's great ball placement on the play helped. It looked like Davis was held up at even getting a chance to try and catch the ball. Aikman even groaned against the refs on that call during the Dallas vs Seattle game today by saying 'a call like that late in the game shouldn't be made'. Well suck it Troy! Your 'boys are 1-2! F - Aikman The LOS was the 13 and the CB was draped all over him until the 4. He didn't pull off until Josh released to ball. Clear PI. 5 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I’ve been pleasantly surprised by several players so far, but he is without question my surprise player of the year to date.

Bferra13 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Yeah. Big props to Gabriel. Usually you here these training camp wonder stories and you really have to take it with a grain of salt. This kid is a baller and I'm blown away by his game so far. Youd think this guy was a 5 year vet or first round pick. What a steal in the 4th! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Davis looked good all game. That PI--he was like a cagey NBA veteran drawing a a foul with a kickout on his defender on a jumpshot (even though he initiated contact). Smart move to force the ref to throw the flag.

HappyDays Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 He's quickly getting a reputation as a guy that catches everything thrown his way. We didn't have that guy on the team last year. He made game changing plays in 2 close wins this year. Sky is the limit for him. Admittedly I don't know how consistently he is getting separation and running good routes but it's hard to argue with the results. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep it up and they'll be throwing love and money at you before you know it. Just to add to this wonderful post - Gabe Davis’ effort can be seen on several plays the past 3 games. Seems like every time Allen is scrambling, Davis keeps working against the DB to get open - that effort is what is earning him targets. Of course it doesn’t hurt that, besides max effort, he does run precise routes and has great hands. Glad Beane drafted him - FWIW, I was against us drafting a WR after getting Diggs.

TigerJ Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 He's playing like a veteran for sure. I don't know if John Brown is going to miss any games with his injury, but the Bills still have three receivers in Diggs Beasley and Davis that would be a considered a threesome for most teams.

BillsfaninSB Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 (edited) Amazing what the Bills did. Deferred their 1st rd pick for a rookie WR and got Diggs. Great move. But then they go get Davis in the 4th round. They got their cake and ate it too. Edited September 28, 2020 by BillsfaninSB 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
