The Forgotten 2nd Rounder...Fred Davis

[Daseal]

I feel like his hype really died down after fumbling twice in a preseason game.

[NWFanMan]

My memory seems to think that Portis is always in praise of Davis ...maybe he didn't get the memo to keep our "007 Agent" under wraps.

[Longtimefan]

Davis will get his opportunities this year, but playing behind a pro bowl TE he's only going to be a situational player. Here's hoping he makes the most of the opportunities he gets, possibly in two TE sets. I'm really rooting for Davis to succeed.

[The Goat]

Yeah Davis probably didn't help himself much fumbling twice that game. But like 53 said it's no surprise he isn't getting attention when there's excitement swirling around a WR corp that spent years in the doldrums. Mitchell alone is enough to overshadow Fred.

Better protection, better WRs, 2nd year in the system for Campbell, Fred Davis, Zorn's second season, more plays inserted into the game plan... it all adds up to a MUCH IMPROVED OFFENSE! If the Skins can average 3-5 more point a game and at least maintain their defensive standing from last year, they will be a FORCE! If they score more and the Defense is better, sky's the limit! Is it Sunday yet?!?!?!

Amen!
The offense certainly needs to produce better...don't care if it's Davis, Kelly, Thomas, Mitchell...or an old lady they pull out of the stands, or a combination there-of, we NEED better production!

Why yes sir it's finally Sunday :headbange

Maybe he can't block. No one is talking about Yoder either. A lot of starting TEs don't get much attention, let alone the #2 or #3. I'm sure they'll fine a way to work him into the game plan. The more weapons defenses have to prepare for the better... which reminds me of why I like running back platoons... but I digress

[WillH]

I dunno, I guess I just figured it's because he's behind one of the best TE's in the league in CC, and (I may be wrong about this) Yoder is prob just a better blocking TE, which is often what you want from that position.

[freddavisbro86]

dont worry redskin fans he's fine and #3 is not what he is truss we had talks they have some sets set up but he doesnt know when coach will use those 2 te sets but hes ready and hungry as helll real pumped we like the fact that his name isnt bein pumped cuz we wanna get pumped during the season when it counts

[freddavisbro86]

hes running all 2 te sets in practice w cooley majority of time -- so hes fine

[44Deezel]

From Matt Terl's blog. Maybe Davis IS having a tough time with his blocking assignments:

Two guys jumped out at me as having big days today. The first was rookie defensive end Jeremy Jarmon, who continues to impress. On one play he threw a blocker aside -- Fred Davis, I believe -- with as much force as I've ever seen. Saying that someone threw a guy "like a ragdoll" is an enormous cliche for a reason, but that's what this looked like. Jarmon also batted a pass down at the line against the first team offense, and just generally looked strong throughout the day.

So are you his real brother?

I'm fairly certain it is (based on his contributions to the USC board).

And BFD = Beast for Days.

Trust.
