    Davis is basically a faster version of James Starks.

    It looks like they see Davis as a possible replacement for Starks (i.e., a backup for Lacy), not a change of pace, 3rd down weapon that can run pass routes and make people miss in the open field.

    Meh
    One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

      I have to say, though, that Davis didn't look all that bad in KC's preseason victory over GB. 14 carries; 58 yds.; 4.1 avg.; Broke a 20 yd. run.; 2 targets; 1 reception for 7 yds.

      After that game I was thinking, hmm, that guy might look good in green and gold. So who knows? Like the article said, he's better than nothing.

        Who did Thompson cut to make room for Davis? I'd be extremely jolly if Mr. Hyde was traded straight up for Davis.

          What's with the "meh" talk? I don't like your attitude, young man. Sit up straight.

          He's a faster and youger version of Starks. What's not to like?

          I criticize some of TT's non-moves, but I do trust he can evaluate the available options. This is undoubtedly the best talent to be found with Halloween just around the bend.

          This is very good news. Hopefully the new guy can play Starks out of a job.

              On the other hand, the last preseason game...Isn't that the NFL schedule's version of Garbage Time? Am I wrong? Did I revert back to curmudgeoness? Do I have to change my avatar back to this?

                    Davis did pretty well a few years ago with KC when Jamaal Charles got hurt. A faster Starks (with a little less power) is about right. Probably a conditional 7th.

                      I like Knile and am anxious to see what he can do. He played well in a couple of opportunities when Charles was injured, but seems to have fallen down the depth chart. He has good size, speed and strength. At 5'10" and a little heavier he's a lot more compact than Starks and more likely to be able to carry the load.

                      On the other hand, couldn't we just get Noah Herron? I checked and he is available

                        Davis has potential, but was always in the doghouse. Not sure if that was just because of the fumbles or issues in pass protection.
                        "There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about."--Ted Thompson

                          Yep, he had a few big games in the past but I think fumbling has always held him back. Have to wonder if this means Lacy will be inactive on Thursday. Jackson/Davis as the RB's is scary pass protection wise.

                              Facebook is a social media website. It is the brainchild of a pompous Jewish kid while said Jew was attending some fancy university. Originally, Facebook was developed as a communication tool, via this fab, new thing called the Internet, for "elite" kids at "elite" universities the world over. After a while, the Jew realized that he could make a couple of bucks by granting access to anyone with internet access and an email account. Subsequently, the Jew disavowed the "elitism" of Facebook and, after stealing a few things from myspace, took the site mainstream.

                              Despite all we've been through here at Packerrats, Nutz still refuse to tell me his real name. What he doesn't know is that I am pretty good at deductive reasoning. After some deductions, I've come to the conclusion that Nutz's real name is Peter. Peter Griffin. Sent him a friend request about 3 years ago. Fucker still hasn't accepted my friendship. Apparently, Nutz uped the privacy setting of his facebook page a bit. I can't follow his interesting life.
