Bring back Stephen Davis

It's the secret gagdet play!

FRPLG · 08-21-2006, 04:41 PM

Just no need. Too many other options that can bring the same or better to the table. Sellers can bang. Nemo can bang. Hell Rock can bang probably as good as Davis at this point. He doesn't catch the ball very well out of the backfield and he'd probably break a hip if he tried.

hell no

This idea has absolutely no merit.

SkinEmAll · 08-21-2006, 11:26 PM

I still sport my Davis jersey. Hes a class act, and I would love to see him back in the B&G. And its hard for me not to be excited about the idea of him being a limited option in the backfield. But we do have to many young guns that have a spot here, and deserve to be. I hate spunkmaster spurrier for alot of different reasons, but letting Davis go is on top of the list. But I guess Davis got the better end of it in the long run. He will find a spot somewhere and do what they need him to do. We need to pass on this one.

JoeRedskin · 08-21-2006, 06:57 PM

I have always loved Stephen. I was sorry to see him go but rationalized it as being necessary to Spurrier's scheme. Now, he is a bit beat up and would cost us a roster spot - a spot for which we have young talent available (who do you cut? Rock? Broughton (okay maybe)? Lumsden? Sellers?

My wife (btw) says "SIGN HIM NOW!!! DAMN YOU SPURRIER!!!!" (Davis was her favorite).

Of course, if he signs with Philly, he will be dead to me.

Of course,

Davis did meet with the Eagles on Monday, but I heard the physical (I think it was the physical, not the workout) didn't meet Philly's expectations

i'd like to see it happen,but put davis and snyder in same state together and
remember what happened to davis at the hands of westbrook a few years back?that's what will happen to snyder if he and davis meet again!i do'nt blame davis for being pissed,snyder and numnuts spurrier did him shitty i thought!

Clinton Portis - Washington Redskins - News - NFL - Yahoo! Sports

seems he's been contacted by the Skins. If he comes back, I can pull his old Jersey out of the closet.

Luxorreb · 08-22-2006, 05:30 AM

Davis always been a class act and I've always been a FAN. Even when he played for Carolina. Saw him break the Redskins season rushing record on a cold rainy day at Fed Ex. Same day people cheered in the stadium when Tony Banks got injured. Those were such sad times at Fed Ex while Stephen Davis quietly with noone watching made Redskins history atleast til last season. I'd say give him a tryout if he wants and sign him for vet min. He ain't Maurice Claurette and Denver or Kansas City never seems to have a lack of 'featured backs'. FUGGIT. Bring him in if he can still run. Won't be starting, but he'd be a legend if he came back. Both the Redskins and Davis know this and Portis is pissed. HAHHAHAHHAHAHA. GO SKINS!!!!

That Guy · 08-22-2006, 07:45 AM

davis is probably better than nemo or manny white or any other non contributer, but it'd basically be a 1 year deal with almost no playing time.

so far i've seen nothing from nemo that'd lead me to believe he'll make the team, much less become our dedicated short yardage guy. maybe sellers could though..

derrickskins · 08-22-2006, 08:12 AM

Get real. Carolina is going to cut him. Too old, bad knees. Remember Mike Barrow?
