Where was Fred Davis?
 

Where was Fred Davis yesterday? Was he hurt? On the trading block? Anybody know?

Re: Where was Fred Davis?
 

He played...they didn't throw to him but he was there helping the OLine. Every time Cooley went in motion there he was in his 3 point stance all the way out there.

Re: Where was Fred Davis?
 

I'd like to see him get more looks from McNabb but he won't get looks if he can't get open and it might not be a big deal anyways if Armstrong keeps comin' on strong like he did yesterday.

Thanks.

Re: Where was Fred Davis?
 

Saw him on teams, believe he had the first tackle of the day.

Re: Where was Fred Davis?
 

I'd like to see him get more looks, especially in the red zone. Let's be real, we don't really have anyone with his size and speed to put pressure on the defense. He needs to be more involved.

Re: Where was Fred Davis?
 

I'd like to see Cooley get more involved first. But with our OL issues these guys are having to block more often.

Re: Where was Fred Davis?
 

I definitely think Cooley and Davis could both be assets in the red zone, but the only thing harder than running the ball in the end zone is passing the ball in the end zone.

Re: Where was Fred Davis?
 

I was just looking at the teams stats and he only has 3 receptions for 73 yards after 5 games. They have to get him more involved!!!

Re: Where was Fred Davis?
 

According to my opinion...the only one I care about...Fred Davis should be the #4 option at any given time...
1. Moss
2. Cooley
3. Armstrong
4. Davis.

The rest aren't very good.
A week ago, I would have had Thomas #5...oops

Re: Where was Fred Davis?
 

They went a lot of 3-wide in the 2nd half--when they do that, FD sits. Sometimes, formation or opponent dictates personnel. I'd like to see more of him as well, but I think getting the WRs in sync with McNabb is more important at the moment.

Brandon Banks changed the time on Davis' alarm...

i was really thinking by now he would be, maybe they are waiting to unleash him. i would love to see cooley line up at te and have davis in the slot they would be so hard to defend.

Re: Where was Fred Davis?
 

I told u guys 2 TE's doesn't work in the NFL, look at Dallas.. Bennett almost never gets a chance. Fred could be a Number 1 TE for 10 teams IMO, he just can't get time bcuz of 47.

Re: Where was Fred Davis?
 

The thread title should be changed to where IS Fred Davis. I had such high
Hopes for him this year.

Good one

Re: Where was Fred Davis?
 

Given that Indy has a small front 7, we might line up in a lot of double TE this game. I would guess that the 3 wr sets were an attempt to spread the field, get them in a nickel as we were gettin whooped up front by GB.

Re: Where was Fred Davis?
 

Everyone has to realize that even with our best guys on offense, Cooley and Moss, we're still only averaging 14 to 17 points for the last how many years? They're nice players but like I said, they're not guys that can get in the end zone on a regular basis. Davis showed in his limited playing time (last year) that he is fully capable.

Re: Where was Fred Davis?
 

I remember one particular play the announcer mentioned Davis being wide open. I guess we need McNabb to trust his receivers a little bit more outside of Moss and Cooley. It looks like Armstrong is becoming another go to guy, but I think we could use Davis in short passes or have him come off a block and catch a dump off pass in short yardage situations.

Yea, he is so good they are waiting to get him involved in a big game.

Re: Where was Fred Davis?
 

Lets not forget the Packers defense is pretty good. So keeping him back to block and the Packers still finding ways to get to McNabb says a lot. Go ask our left guard who on more then one occassion failed to hand off the NT and was out of position for the blond haired hippie who kept running past him untouched. ;)

No seriously though the Pack is a good team. Right now they have sustained quite a few injuries so I'm not sure how their season will fair out but they had a talented offense and defense. They were one of my picks to go to the SB.

It seems a lot of teams are defensively sound. But offensively struggling.

I predict we will see more of Davis against the Colts.

LOL, I think people fail to remember Cooley is not awsome at blocking. He's good but not awsome, which is why I think Davis was left back. Davis is not awsome either but better then Cooley at blocking. We go against a weaker defense Davis will go out more causing mismatches.

Re: Where was Fred Davis?
 

With injuries to both OT's you can bet that Cooley and Davis will be doing their share to help in pass protection, and Cooley will get the call to be a receiver before Davis. We need to get the OL healthy to get the most out of Davis as a receiver.
