Re: Why Did We Draft Fred Davis?
Yeah maybe it's politics. Zorn seems to have very little patience for rookies. On the other hand he has plenty of patience for our crappy oline play.

Re: Why Did We Draft Fred Davis?
I think we need to give the rookies a chance. He and Kelly & Thomas haven't done much so far. However, if by next season they aren't producing - then we can start giving them the bust label.
Certainly Vinny and Zorn have got to think about picking some OL and DL players early in the next draft. Without good line play you can't reach the next level in the NFL. One thing is certain: rookies who come to the Redskins will know that they better be in shape and mentally ready for this team. Zorn is going to give them no free passes and newbies will know that coming here. |

Hindsight is always 20/20 - but how awesome would it have been to draft ONE WR that year, and then two offensive linemen (-- not named Rhinehart)... |

Re: Why Did We Draft Fred Davis?
Like I've said hundreds of times, 2 TE's cant work in the NFL.
Dallas: Bennett has a huge upside but cant get on the field.. INDY: Now that Clark is out, Tamme has played great including 11 Catches Sunday Same goes for us, CC is the man and FD just can't get on the field.. If Cooley wasn't on the team, Davis would be shining right now.

Re: Why Did We Draft Fred Davis?
^ exactly, we should have traded Fred in the offseason. I say he's gone after this yr, one of them will he for sure IMO

Re: Why Did We Draft Fred Davis?
^ I didn't say it can't be done but you won't ever see 2 TEs become big parts of the offense at the same time..
And GB hardely used anyone before Finley got hurt, and as far as Saints go their TEs aren't anything special.. Shockey is done

Re: Why Did We Draft Fred Davis?
Um that's exactly what you said:

Quote:
And there are plenty more teams that use 2 TEs a part of their base offense run sets/formations. Quote:
And i can tell you you're dead wrong. The Packers have been using 2 TEs since last year. Finley 55 catches Lee 37 This year is different due to injury to 3 TEs but the numbers are: Finley 21 catches Lee, Quarless, Crabtree 17 catches. Quote:
Wow that's a great argument: because you don't like their TEs that means their TEs aren't producing? Well the numbers prove you wrong once again: Shockey 31 catches Dave Thomas 27 J Graham 8 catches I could keep going with the Pats and Texans but i think i've made my point. Just because we aren't making good use of Fred Davis doesn't mean it can't be done. HTTR! |

Re: Why Did We Draft Fred Davis?
I just don't understand why Davis isn't on the field a lot more. Especially in the red zone. Makes no snese.

Re: Why Did We Draft Fred Davis?
It's always better to have too much of a good thing than too little...at least in terms of NFL depth.

Re: Why Did We Draft Fred Davis?
Especially at TE while ignoring OL and WR in the draft for 10 years, even when they are a position of greater need.
