What I like about Davis this year….very high pocket awareness. Also, he can read defenses and he knows this offense like the back of his hand. He knows what he’s doing out there.You know it;s interesting about pocket awareness. He had absolutely none when he came in cold in the Vikes game. In fact I thought most if all the sacks he took were on him. Then he’s better (though the Vikes have more of a defense than Dallas or Tampa). You know what HE attributes it to? Staying in rhythm. Dropping, planting, throwing. He said that all week after the Vikes game, the coaches stressed that — stay in rhythm. Yet we see it as this quality of the qb’s psyche. Meanwhile, on top of it, to drop and throw you have to trust your receivers. If you don’t you have to compensate somehow for it, for example by bailing on the pocket or holding the ball waiting for a play. It really is amazing how much we put on the qb that isn’t really the qb.
Well i dont know exactly what any of us means by ‘pocket awareness’
but i know that this kid has made three or four “escape and throw” plays
that were impressive. I love it. The ‘extend the play” thing.Its an attribute. A quality. I like it.
He also throws INT’s over the middle.
I hope that is not an attribute. I dont like it.w
v=================
LMU93 — The Little Things Add UpThe 2nd 4th and 1 call.. Good decision to go for it. Bad call on a slow developing counter play..
Two bad PIs..
A terrible call on the roughing the QB on Sims. Just an awful call..
Wells botched snap. He continues to be the weak link of their offense.
The drop by Cook.. I knew right there they were losig that game.
But to me THE MOST baffling thing about this team is having one QB sack in 3 games.. I don’t know what is happening there.. They consistently rushed/blitzed with 5-6 guys and got absolutely nowhere. Stonewalled most plays. As bad as the blown coverage was on the TD to Bryant the lack of pass rush hung them out to dry too. This team isn’t 1-2 because Bradford got hurt. They’re 1-2 mainly because the defense hasn’t performed nearly up to expectations. The run defense was MUCH better yesterday- in fact almost dominant apart from the 20 and 44 yard runs. But again the lack of almost any pressure on opposing QBs is baffling to me….
I’ll also say I really like what Davis has done at QB. The kid deserves a ton of credit. He’s limited but he’s tough, he’s emotional, gutsy, the team responds to him, and he moves around really well. I think Bradford gets sacked 5-6 times yesterday in that game.. I hope Fisher sees the offense flying around Davis and lets him keep playing.
=================================yeah. i actually had just posted something similar. davis playing well and all is great. but he’s been bolstered by the running game.
bradford played very well when he had that running game going. so people shouldn’t be going way overboard with this. i wanna see how he performs when it’s all on him.
Well it sounds like we kinda know how
he performs when its “all on him” —
he throws INTs. A lot like Romo,
actually.w
vI am never forgiving wv for quoting Oprah on a football board.
Oprah could hold a 21 point lead.

Coy Bacon – 1972
That image of Coy Bacon is from a stamp in the “NFL Action 72″ stamp book. You got some stamps when you purchased gasoline at Sunoco stations. Thanks to my dad and one of his friends I have the complete collection.
Aaron Donald reminds me a bit of Coy Bacon.
They both had speed and power.w
v….But after a while, defenses figure you out,
and at that point, you need to have something to give them pause.Exactly.
He’s accurate which is great, but man
that looks like a popgun arm to me.
On the bomb that Quick dropped it looked
like Austin D really loaded up and heaved it.
It looked like it took everything he had
to make that throw.I’d like to take Bradford’s arm and
torso and attach them to Austin D’s
knees.I dunno. Maybe Davis will be a Montana.
We’ll see.w
