tr1 Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Puke fans' spin: Bill Parcells isn't raiding the pukes. Davis sucked, and we didn't want him anyway. We don't have any issues in the secondary. The sun is out. Everything is okay. We will win a playoff game this year. :laugh: 04:27 AM CDT on Monday, March 10, 2008 http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/spt/football/cowboys/stories/031008dnspocowboyslede.3c833c4e.html By CALVIN WATKINS / The Dallas Morning News Dallas Cowboys unrestricted free agent strong safety Keith Davis will visit Miami today as he seeks more playing time. The special teams captain was tied for third on the Cowboys with 18 special-teams tackles in 2007 but rarely played on defense. According to Davis' agent, Curtis Stephens, several teams are interested in him, including the Cowboys. Yeremiah Bell started the first game of 2007 at strong safety for the Dolphins but tore his Achilles' tendon and missed the rest of the season. Miami used several safeties after Bell was hurt.

A spin from a non-closet 'Boys fan: Davis excels at special teams. With the salary and playing time he is looking for, it might be in the best interest of both the club, and Davis, if he moved elsewhere. However, would love to have him back if he is comfortable in a backup/special teams role making money that is proportional to his role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDFan5 Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 This is the big roster raid? Our backup safety? Davis was very good on special teams, that will need to be replaced. As an actual defensive player though we can do better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure why you wanted to start a new Cowboys angle when the 'JJ is broke' theme was doing just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flashback Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 On a more serious note, this speaks pretty highly of Davis. This is the same guy who got shot outside a club twice, and subsequently cut from the team, twice. And now the guy who cut him (Parcells) is obviously ready to bring him to his new team. He must see something in Davis, or think he's learned his lesson, to bring him in. Even at the vet minimum, he's more expensive than adding a rookie for special teams. I think he may even have a shot at starting in Miami, which he clearly doesn't in Dallas. Heck, he'll get on the field after Hamlin, Williams, Watkins, and maybe even Courtney Brown. Whereas in Miami, he just has to beat out Yeremiah Bell. Good special teamer, pretty good in run support (even tho he seems a little small to play SS for 16 games), he can be a spectacular hitter, but like every other safety in Dallas (seemingly) sucks at deep coverage responsibilities. Another thing that might be relevant, have you seen the deals Gibril Wilson and Madieu Williams got? Maybe a guy with 5 years in the league that will sign for less than an 8-figure signing bonus is a pretty good value right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davis also took the advice to heart. I remember Parcells talking about Davis during press conferences, stating that he had told Davis that he was never going to be a star and that he needed to focus on finding that niche that would make him have a longer career. At the same time, you can find players of Davis' innate ability in the draft and free agency. There's no point in keeping him if he has reached his potential and the only thing that will go up is his salary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeHateMe Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Love K. Davis. But just can't justify investing that much money in the safety position. We're already screwed with the Williams contract. And Hamlin will be extended sooner or later. Watkins will have to step up, as he did somewhat this season. And then we have the draft to groom his replacement. I'd love to keep him, of course, but you can't keep everyone unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
