GTripp0012 11-18-2008, 06:40 PM From what I understand, the main reason Fred Davis has been elusive is because he doen't know the play book yet. This is just what I heard, but if it is true, wouldn't you think someone would have picked up the fact that hes a dumbass before we drafted him?Well, we've got a reputation for being one of the toughest teams in the NFL, but no one said we could line up in the off-season for scholarly awards.
Pete Kendall and Antwaan Randle El aside, we haven't pulled a Patriot, and gone out of our way to acquire cerebral players. That's not really "Redskin football". Redskin football has always been tough, hard nosed, beat them at the point of attack style.
itvnetop 11-18-2008, 07:25 PM Guys, guys... you're making a scapegoat out of someone who doesn't even play. Give the rook a break before you kick him off the team! Freddy D. is gonna have an impact in this league... there aren't many tight ends that come roaring out of the gate in their first year.

This is very true; however, with the way that play books are drawn up now, as apposed to the 80's especially with this west coast offense, players have to be somewhat intellegent. When I say intellegent the only thing I'm saying is smart enough to realize that you have to memorize a pretty thick playbook. They all know the game of football. It just comes down to intead of watching TV all night or whaterver, just memorize a playbook, its not that hard.
T.O.Killa 11-18-2008, 07:54 PM We drafted davis, because we did not want a player that could help us now like Desean Jackson.
GTripp0012 11-18-2008, 10:07 PM I just finished the first half of the game tape review, and Davis was in on four plays. Here are my game notes for those plays:
1) [drive 1] First and ten (he's the left TE) - Zone right, Rabach and Thomas and Kendall are all instantly at the second level knocking heads. Davis has the front side sealed.
2) [drive 2] First and ten (he's the left TE) - Naked Boot pass, and the Cowboys play it well. The pass complete to Cooley in the flat with Campbell under pressure. Davis was running the "over" route, or the ten-twelve yard cross. He might have been open, but it didn't matter because of the playcall.
3) [drive 3] First and ten (he's the left TE) - He's in a pattern. 5 man rush, major pressure by Ratliff, but at least Rabach doesn't fall down and can stay with him. Campbell under duress throws in Cooley's direction.
4) [the next play] (he's the only TE on the right, Cooley is split wide) Toss right, Fred Davis easily beaten by DeMarcus Ware.
So he was in on two running plays, did his job once vs Ware, and got killed the other time vs. a better player. On the passing plays, his released looked fine, and Campbell just got crushed off the snap.
I'll see if he plays any in the second half, but I'm not sure he will, DT was getting all the reps at the end of the half.
The Goat 11-18-2008, 10:13 PM After careful consideration and intensive inquiry I can confidently say we drafted Fred Davis because... he has the best weed connections on the West Coast and everybody knows West Coast bud beats the hell out of that East Coast crap :pimp:
GTripp0012 11-18-2008, 10:19 PM He's from Toledo, OH.
