James Davis on the Active Roster?

[SFREDSKIN]

I would cut Simpson and promote Davis before we lose him.

Galloway..... I can't figure out what on earth is keeping him on this team? QB does not produce well enough for the HC and he's benched. We've had RB come and go and some WR's from the PS come and go, yet Galloway remains? It's nice that he has had a proven past but in the "what have you done for me lately" league I'm baffled with him as well as R.Williams.

Has Galloway caught anything beyond 20 yet this yr? It seems its all Moss and Armstrong. But in any event I'd get rid of Simpson also and bring up Davis. Then I'd at least cut R.Williams and bring in Sinorece or bring Austin up to see if he provides anything to see if he's worth keeping or not.

Galloway hauled in one deep ball, against Houston I think. R. Williams at least plays spec. teams. But yeah, Galloway getting regular pt doesn't say much for this wr corps.

What's the appeal exactly of Sinorice Moss?

He was flat out horrible today

Dude's useless.

I see why he was on the practice squad. What a stinker. We'd be better off picking up a FA.

[sportscurmudgeon]

Someone positn above wanted to cut Chad Simpson and promote Davis "before we lose him (Davis)".


Might I suggest that neither of those circumstances would be horrible.

Cutting Simpson would not change things for the Skins very much.

Losing Davis would not hurt the team significantly.

Bill Parcells refers to certain players - - I suspect Simpson and Davis are both in this category - - as JAGs. That means he thinks they are Just A Guy; there is nothing noteworthy about them.

Before you condemn Davis, how about giving him more than 1 game before you judge him. He hasn't played since September and 6 carries is not enough to evaluate him. As for Simpson, what the hell did he do before he went to IR? Nothing!! The guy was always hurt. Other teams were interested in Davis, maybe there's a reason? Let's find out.

[MTK]

Yeah, 6 carries really isn't enough to judge him either way. He was a shoe string tackle away from breaking a nice one.

[sportscurmudgeon]

Fine, I'll be happy to watch Davis in the remaining games - - where he will get lots of chances to show his stuff because he is a lot more healthy than guys who were on the roster ahead of him.

As to the argument that you have to keep someone because other teams are - - or might be - - interested in them, you would hope that would be true of most of the people that you bring to training camp.

And since six carries and one game is insufficient to conclude that a running back might just be a "JAG", can someone explain the obverse:


How do 6 carries with one "almost big run" - - plus a terrible drop of a pass that hit him in the numbers which seems to have gone unmentioned here - - consititute a reason to think this guy is an important cog in the future of the team?


What is the Over/Under for his rushing yards against the Giants this week?

[MTK]

Nobody is saying he's an important cog for the future, just saying we haven't seen enough to tell either way.

[JoeRedskin]

I was not impressed by Davis at all. I am betting he is, as sportscurmudgeon asserts, he is JAG. At the same time, who knows, I'll give him another game before condemning him to JAG status. Based on his performance, however, I can't see he deserves much more than one more shot at shaking the label.

And Devin Thomas had a great run after catch in the Broncos game a couple years ago.

[MTK]

DT had more than 6 touches to prove his worthlessness.
