DarrellsMyHero28 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 James Davis walks out on Redskins camp Redskins RB James Davis has reportedly walked out of training camp over dissatisfaction with his playing time and reps.He would've been better off just asking the Redskins to waive him, instead of coming off as a player with an artificially inflated opinion of himself. Davis is reportedly "still MIA," and his absence is considered unexcused. The third-year running back was buried on the depth chart even with Ryan Torain out. Aug. 15 - 2:25 pm et Source: Chris Russell on Twitter On ESPN 980 they also reported Davis got into an argument with a coach at a film session over playing time and Mike Shannahan said he has no idea where Davis is. ------------------------ What a chump.

Boston Skins Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Hopefully there's a reasonable explanation here, but he was probably the odd man out anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRobi21 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I mean he was a longshot anyway. But this hurts his chances in the future getting picked up by another team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarrellsMyHero28 Posted August 15, 2011 Author Share Posted August 15, 2011 Hopefully there's a reasonable explanation here, but he was probably the odd man out anyway. Doubtful. He gets into an argument with a coach, storms out of a film session and hasn't returned (forgot to put that into the OP). Seems like an immature hothead to me.

This team was just begging for a RB to step up and play well. James Davis tried to hype himself up, but to no avail. I know that the offensive line wasn't great, but Davis showed little vision and was less than effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCClybun Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Why work your ass off in TC when you aren't getting reps or playing time regardless.Hope he catches on somewhere and is given a legitimate chance to make the roster. Football is a number's game, man. JD knew what he had to do to improve his chances of making the football team. Like I said, regardless of the situation, you don't yell at your coach during film study and walk off. That earns you zero respect from your team, your position coaches, your offensive coordinator or your head coach. You have to be a pro. It might've been better for Davis to talk to the coaches and see if he couldn't get traded or cut. When you've got legitimate depth on your football team like we do at running back, sometimes it's not going to work about. But this kind of thing is a move that won't only screw his chances up of working out here, but going elsewhere. Who's going to sign him and push him up on the depth chart now? (Well, besides Philly, they'll sign anyone.) What team is he going to go to that's not going to ask him to block? And this is two coaching staff's he's gotten on the bad side of now. He'll probably get released by first cuts now. Or, Mike being Mike, we'll hold on to him until week 4 and let him play a little, and then cut him. Either way, he just hurt his chances of helping the football team a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightbird Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Why work your ass off in TC when you aren't getting reps or playing time regardless? A. Because it's your job. B. Showing up on time and not storming out in a rage does not constitute "working your ass off." C. Because the way to get playing time might be . . . . just MIGHT be . . . to show up and work hard. D. Because if you want a job playing professional football -- for any team, in any league -- you may wish to conduct yourself as a professional. To watch the amazing Evan Royster get 15 carries? No thanks. It's well-known that Shanny believes in keeping RB's out there for long stretches at a time so they can get in a rhythm -- that's the only way to really evaluate an RB. So while Royster got a long stretch in the first game, the next game he'll be on the bench while they showcase Helu and . . . .ummm, well not James Davis. Hope he catches on somewhere and is given a legitimate chance to make a roster. I don't care what happens to him -- he just cut himself from my team. He's a quitter. To use your words . . . "no thanks." JD reminds me of some of the early 20-somethings here at my company. On their third day they're whining about being stuck in a lousy cubicle instead of the corner office.

addicted Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Who in the hell is James Davis? Oh ya that piece of crap running back that some here thought was so freaking exciting who came here last year and did absolutely jack crap when given ample opportunity to earn his spot? Last year 7 games, 19 total rushes, less then 70 yards.... Man F him, fire his ass now. He's garbage with a bad attitude. We are building something here and if some premadonna doesn't want to get on board and play ball then take your sorry ass to the corner and GTFO. We don't need ya and we especially don't need any more douchebags with giant egos messing anything up Anyone of them not on board can get out, send a message and cut him now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said in the other thread, the tantrum was not a good move at all, for anyone. I can understand why he'd do it, but it's a very immature move that will likely hurt his career. I suspect the only reason he didn't ask to be released is because he wants to be here. It makes no sense otherwise, although this only makes sense if he's immature. Most people in their 20s are. I already blew my load in the other thread, and since he's cut at this point anyways, not going to copy paste my reasoning. Here's to Evan "Magicman" Royster.
