Thoughts on Fred Davis and Run Blocking

[MTK]

Davis has never been a good blocker, neither was Cooley either. Not a deal breaker when you can catch the ball though.

LOL, I started to add a paragraph about Cooley not being very good either at blocking but took it out since the thread was about Davis.

When the coaches look at what each TE candidate brings to the table they must see a lot of the same things from Davis, Cooley, and Paul.

The one Redskins TE candidate who stands out from the others as a blocker is Logan Paulsen. That's why I think he makes the team.

I think the Skins will end up making a decision between Cooley, the proven but oft-injured veteran with the big contract, and Paul, the younger, cheaper, developing player who can help them on ST. In the end, I think it's up to Paul to show enough to merit being kept because the coaches already know what Chris Cooley can do.

I doubt that serving as the backup FB does anything to help Cooley stick. Finding someone to do that job should be easy enough for the Skins.
