Larry Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Why do ppl keep thinking some team will give anything for Fred Davis? I mean, it's not like he's Pat White. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedskinsInFebruary Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Two words: Jordan Reed. Is that all though? Is he in the doghouse for some reason as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsGuy Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Is that all though? Is he in the doghouse for some reason as well? He could very well be in the doghouse. As others have said, Shanahan always plays the players that are doing the best. In all phases (gametime, practice, film room, study). Apparently, Davis' effort is lacking somewhere, and the rookie Reed has surpassed him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Is that all though? Is he in the doghouse for some reason as well? Probably, due to missed assignments/poor practice habits. When you also have a killer emerging at TE, who can do everything that you can do as a receiver on top of it, it really is no surprise to me as to why he's seen decreased playing time. Shanahan has always been the type who will not put a cat out there who isn't going to give 100% from Wednesday to Sunday, in the film room, on the practice field, and on game days. When you set a precedent that guys who truly put in the effort will play, but then put in a guy who has shown you jack, and has been lazy and inattentive, it sets a bad example for the rest of the squad.

Warhead36 Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Why aren't we playing Reed and Davis at the same time? It's not like the wideouts after Garcon have been great. The passing offense hasn't been very good this season so I would love to see them try something to improve it. Because Davis isn't any good either.

RVAbrendan Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Is that all though? Is he in the doghouse for some reason as well? As Shanny has said, he goes with players who perform well in practice and in preparation. Reed has been that guy, and has been the hot hand. Davis has done some good things here in the past, but we've seen him in games and he is not playing the level of football expected by him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody is wondering why Reed is number 1. It's odd that he's not ahead of the other tight ends or the receivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Nobody is wondering why Reed is number 1. It's odd that he's not ahead of the other tight ends or the receivers. Paulsen is ahead because he can block, and Paul is ahead because he plays STs. Reg. the other WRs: I'd take Hank over Davis easily right now. Robinson gives us a deep threat. Morgan plays STs(though he's a non factor returning). Moss...well you may have a point there, but I give the benefit of the doubt to Moss over Davis everytime.

You'd take Hank and his drops easy over Davis? Why? Robinson will catch about 10 balls this year. Morgan's special teams contributions are non-existant, and his WR play is pitiful.

skinfan2k Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I think Paulsen and reed should be the 2 TEs we utilize the rest of the year. Both Paul and Davis are useless. Davis is just an average TE. Reed is a playmaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodBits Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Wonder if the Packers would be interested for a conditional late round pick. Finley left the game earlier with a brutal looking concussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I understand how he earned it... but it's still not funny at all, and this is coming from a guy who likes jokes. Our biggest mainstay of a nickname so far is based off of one of the seven freakin' dwarfs. Let that settle in for a moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Because Davis isn't any good either. If that's true I think that's surprising. He's too young to go from very good to suddenly so bad that he can't get on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jadams5214 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Another Cerrato draft pick who will be off the team after this season. Really thought Davis was going to be a huge factor this year. Bringing him back this season looks to be an awful move by the Skins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinfan2k Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Why do you say that Davis is useless? When did he just suddenly forget how to play football? You mean the guy who gives up on plays, misses blocking assignments and doesn't run his route with full speed? The one who can't play special teams if he can't start. He was never good. Just because he was a 2nd rounder doesn't mean he was good. He never put it together on the field despite his talents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD_washingtonredskins Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Get some draft picks from him before time is up. If we could flip him for anything I'd be impressed. He's on a one-year contract, is coming off an injury, and hasn't looked all that good. I would love to get something for him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinfan2k Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I'd be a lot more interested in the Fred Davis situation if the team hadn't put up 45 without him (or if he could play safety) need to re-sign Rak before free agency so we can transition Davis and get something for him in free agency He wasn't even wanted last year. What makes you think teams will this year when he already has a couple of strikes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
