If we're in the red zone Davis should be on the field. Makes no sense.

They still say he can't digest the playbook.

So what, he's retarded or something?

How hard can it be?

I'd hope not.

But that's the excuse they keep giving for keeping him inactive from week to week. I figure the least they can do is activate him and let him run a couple of plays per game. What's the worse that can happen? JC stays either horizontal or running away from defenders most of the game anyway and the only two players with consistent hands are Moss and Cooley. I don't think it could hurt to give Davis a few reps.

I don't know if thats the whole truth. You don't need the whole play book to use him on a few plays here and there. All they have to do is while on the side lines tell him this play you run ten yards and turn left and the ball will be on its way. Heck, I have heard of QB's making up a play in the huddle because they saw something that would work. I'm sure thats not done very often in todays NFL but it not rock science.

He should at least be able to learn and execute a handful of plays. Like you said firstdown, it's not rock science. Hell, for that matter, it's not even rocket science!

Well I've thought back more often about Davis' retarded episode of missing practice as a rookie because he slept in or whatever. For all we know this kid has all the talent in the world but is also high in the runnin' for laziest worldwide. Pretty hard to say at this point.

He missed one practice and he rides the bench for most of the season? Talk about being overbearing. If that was the case the Skins could be benching a good TE because he made one poor decision.

I'm sorry but that BS. This guy was a stud at USC and they run an offense that is as close to a pro offense as it gets. I'm blaming the coaches as much as I'm blaming Davis. I'm sure he can remember 5 red zone plays.

Or, if he can't. he never will. With 5 preseason games (plus 11 regular season = 16 games), minicamp, etc., these guys have all had Zorn's playbook since June. No excuse for not knowing it. Now I grant that there can be a difference between knowing the plays and having them become second nature so that you don't need to think about them -- you execute. But they've had the playbook for 6 months now and this is what they do for a living!! Anyone out there have a job where 6 months of intense study and practice and poor execution would be tolerated?

Some people like to point fingers towards each other but I'm putting this one on GOD. Its all his fault for not blessing him with the talent.
