RandyHolt Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 It went pretty much to script. Our offense sucked featuring the pall boys, he made an appearance late in the second quarter. 0 targets. If the blow off of team meetings report was true, why not just cut him, and ink Keiland or someone else we can just line up in the backfield to block? Maybe the injury to Reed is severe and we need him around. With all the reports coming out of ashburn of late, who knows what to believe. Its time to implement operation whackamole.

Boss_Hogg Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Cooley was just talking about the TE situation. He claims the coaching staff has always had a fancy for Logan Paulsen. However he made no mention about Fred's recent quote about falling asleep in meetings and skipping a meeting last week. Chris then went on to say that if the Skins were to call him for some help at TE he would decline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrelgreenie Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 ^^To add context to the above, Cooley thought is was laughable that the coaching staff thought Paulsen was better then Fred Davis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 If he blew off team meetings ( or a meeting), then I think he can pretty much go shopping for a suit to match that coffin... The guy just doesn't care. I'm through with the Shanahan's, but I have a problem with players that simply don't give a damn, on top of it. I wouldn't cut him, because that's what he wants, and if I'm a coach, I am simply not going to give him what he wants. I would deactivate (IR/whatever) him though, and give his spot to somebody that wants to be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BraunMan92 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 How much do you think we can get for Davis or Reed at the end of the season? Shanahan was stupid not to trade Davis before the trade deadline. We could use another 2nd round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would have been lucky to get a 5th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they wanted to get something for Fred they should have played him early then tried to move him after a couple of good games. Ship has sailed Fred is gone.

Mr. Sinister Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I bet the Pats nab him. He'll cost peanuts, and they'll probably be without Gronk for the first 5-6 weeks of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadExField Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Chris Russell @Russellmania980 Whoa.. MT @NBCdianna: Was told Fred Davis blew off team meetings this week despite chance to play #Redskins Back to the doghouse young man. He chose to play one game to show other teams he can run and catch, now he doesn't want to risk injury going into the off season. Great job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Sinister Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I threw up in my mouth a little but you're prolly right. If that happens then I will put up a sig bet with anybody that the dude will lead all TE's in TD catches. Nothing lights a fire under your ass like playing for Tom Brady. It could be the perfect storm for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audible_Red40 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 What was the relationship with Davis and (then) TE coach Sean McVay? Is there any way with Coach Gruden aboard and coach McVay as "offensive co-ordinator", that Fred Davis would want to stay or would they even want him to stick around? I would presume they will let him test the market. Anyone have the scoop or a thought? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momma There Goes That Man Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I'd like to have him back. Shanahan did a good job tanking any value he might have had so we may be able to resign him for a good price again. Hopefully his issues were all with Shanahan and he would be willing to return because I think he can still be a contributor for us. It would be great to have 2 pass catching TEs for our QB to work with. He's solid not spectacular and a good fill in for the Offense if Reed goes down.

darrelgreenie Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 ^^ I think Davis has a chance to re-sign with Mike/Kyle gone. Not playing Fred Davis is a decision that is a couple pay grades ahead of McVay so it likely that McVay doesn't have anyting against Fred. But who knows? *shrugs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter_R Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 There's no reason the standard receiver set shouldn't be Garcon/Reed/Davis. The rest of the receivers and tight ends suck something fierce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 What sucks is that 2013 was supposed to be the season Davis would be playing for the big(ish) contract you know he will be seeking, but because of the situation with being in Shanahan's doghouse, who knows if he deserves it, doesn't deserve it etc etc....Reed emerging as a receiving threat also clouds the situation.

Mr. Sinister Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 If we are truly now about maximizing talent that we have, and getting guys to buy into the program by putting them in the best positions to succeed, I would like Davis to come back. His market value wasn't all that great last year, and he was put on ice this year, so I think the team could give him a fair offer. Kyle Shanahan may not have known what to do with two TE's, but I think Gruden will. As long as we upgrade the o-line, I like our chances against any defense with Garçon, Reed, and Davis on the field at the same time, with a new #2 WR and a healthy Bob My ideal situation would be that at some point, Gruden gets the guys together and says that the past is the past, giving everybody a clean slate, and an opportunity to contribute. That would be the smart thing to do imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonez3 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 We need to draft a TE unfortunately. It's painfully obvious Reed will probably never play more than 8 games a year and almost certainly be out if the team becomes a playoff contender. Davis is done ladies and gents... Officially a journeyman TE, 10/12 and can be replaced with drop of hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonez3 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Pretty bold statement after he's only been in the league for 1 season. I understand it's an opinion- not so much a fact. I generally am optimistic. But, the writing is on the wall with this one...IMO. Davis on the other hand... dime a dozen. That is more factual. 7 years later I wouldn't anticipate a 'rebirth'. He is only gonna get worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
