Thoughts on Fred Davis and Run BlockingSmootSmack 08-17-2012, 10:10 AM How Reliable is Fred Davis as a Run Blocker? - Hogs Haven (http://www.hogshaven.com/2012/8/16/3246861/how-reliable-is-fred-davis-as-a-run-blocker) mredskins 08-17-2012, 10:24 AM Smells like job security for Cooley. MTK 08-17-2012, 10:25 AM Good breakdown. He's definitely a liability more often than not in blocking it seems. NC_Skins 08-17-2012, 10:29 AM I still think Niles Paul is the better blocker out of the 3. Fred's horrible blocking has been a issue from day 1. Chico23231 08-17-2012, 10:31 AM Its a problem, but Shanny stated when he came in he prefered a pass catching TE as well as a blocking TE. With Cooley questionable to be on the roster this year, who steps up to fill the void as blocking TE, Niles or Paulson possibly? skinsguy 08-17-2012, 11:59 AM The upside with Chris Cooley is that he's winning to do just about anything and everything it takes to stay with the Redskins, and he's traditionally been a pretty good run blocker. I think you find some way of keeping Cooley on the team. I'm hoping that preseason game #2 will yield some catches for CC #47 and remind us why Chris is a valuable addition to the team. imaskin4life 08-17-2012, 12:04 PM Smells like job security for Cooley. The only way I let go of Cooley is if I am satisfied with Davis' run blocking. For me, it is not enough to be a receiving tight end and a below average run blocker. Tight ends do more blocking than receiving during the course of a game. I suppose you could substitute TE's in passing/running situations but I would prefer not to have to show the defense my hand. If we do end up letting go of Cooley and Davis continues to suck at run blocking I am hoping Niles Paul emerges as a decent run blocker since in the past he has been a decent receiver. He is CERTAINLY going to have to step up his receiving game from last week though - too many drops last week. T.O.Killa 08-17-2012, 12:08 PM I think who really benefits here is Logan Paulson. I think he may be a lock in Shannahan's mind. Who knows maybe a reciever gets cut and they keep four tight ends, because of Niles Pauls flexibilty. SmootSmack 08-17-2012, 12:30 PM Yeah Paulsen is the sleeper in all of this, for sure FRPLG 08-17-2012, 01:08 PM I never understand why basic technique is so hard in situations like this. I mean I am sure they keep telling him to stay lower and he consistently doesn't. I surely have no experience with it but if my coach told me to stay low I'd stay low. I mean it's a fundamental principle of what he is trying to do. Is it legit difficult to do? Just don't stand straight up when the ball is snapped right? |
