Jerome007 Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 So the honeymoon is over? Dorsey went from "less stubborn yet as creative as Daboll" to "he sucks" ha ha. But, this is good stuff. This is great feedback, by a DB from another conference. Heed what he says! This is NOT good. Coaches have to wise up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t realize how catchable the ball was. Knox should have ended the game right here. Bummer. As I said in another thread earlier this week, for all Josh's mistakes the past few weeks, he put this one on the money and his insane 70 yard pass against the Jets was right on the money and catchable as well. If both those receivers make those catches we likely win both games and Josh is being hailed as Mr Clutch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree and couldn’t have said it better myself. Digg is elite. End of story. David is a JAG. His route tree looks like a totem pole. I say let him play out his rookie deal and draft a high WR this year to replace him in a couple years. Mckenzie sucks. Period. Knox is an anomaly. On one hand, he has elite traits, but the other he just can’t put it all together. Hoping he finds the mojo he had last year. Shakir can be something I think. He can make tough catches and seems to have a good route tree, compared to Davis. He is good at YAC too. Davis is not a jag. That’s an exaggeration. If he were, we could put anyone out there to do what he does. We can’t. He’s one of the better deep ball WRs in the league. He’s not elite…..but he’s not “just another guy”. There’s no way you truly believe that. agreed about the rest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is two games in a row Davis then Knox were interfered with on on key plays at the end of the game where they both could have, and should have forced the refs to throw the flag by fighting harder through the defender. Plant that back foot and launch back towards the ball when you're being draped like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough catch, sure, but makeable. Something our passing offense has been lacking is those difficult clutch plays made by our pass catchers in crunch time. Diggs is the only one that's made those plays at all. Davis against the Jets and Knox against the Vikings had opportunities to make big game-changing catches at the end and couldn't do it. Even Diggs despite making one incredible catch on 3rd and long failed to make a difficult catch on another 3rd and long later in the game. The Vikings won because their guy made catches like that multiple times, come to think of it I don't think a single pass that ended up anywhere in Jefferson's vicinity hit the ground.

I understand what you're saying. But Davis just isn't a good route runner. He was limited in college as well. It's just who he is. I really like Davis... as a number 3. I didn't understand the belief that he was ready to be our number 2. His route tree is limited. I think Dorsey is asking him to do what he does well. Just my opinion.

Einstein Posted November 17, 2022 Author Share Posted November 17, 2022 Just pulled up the most recent route charts for Gabe Davis (they don’t update his every week so this is a few weeks old). The DB for the Vikings has a point. Very little variation m in Davis routes. And below is Diggs for comparison. Quite the difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Sack Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Dorsey is not creative in redzone but all that means is the players need to execute at a higher level. Is that level beyond the threshold of their ability? It appears so, as Davis & Knox struggle to live up to WR2 and TE1 expectations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Davis was open if Josh doesn’t double pump and makes the throw on time. So Peterson can watch all the film he wants, he was still beat. Josh was trying to get Harrison smith to bite harder on the inside post with the pump…he did but josh seemed to panic that smith was still lurking close enough to make the play so he completely overthought that throw imo. Davis had Peterson beat and it’s a pretty likely td and an incompletion at worst if the ball led Davis into the end zone funny seeing Peterson say stuff like that because the Vikings defense was an absolute disaster to close out regulation and in OT lol. I have almost no doubt josh could’ve carried the ball 6 straight times on that ot drive and he’s in the end zone 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But no matter what, jumping from: “Davis doesn’t run unique routes and has been found out” to “Daboll should have been the HC instead of the guy who was a key part of the biggest turnaround in franchise history” is a bit of a stretch for… well, everyone.
