3* RB Malik Davis commits

[heversle]

I know the staff usually takes heat for all the 3 stars they take, but I actually really like this pickup. He was an extremely productive back, has great vision, and plays with good pad level. He'll be very good for us. Welcome to the family, Malik.

Research on him shows he is the leading running back in Hillsborough county history, so that is something positive. This is what his coach has to say about him . Seems like a guy who could be a gem.

I have to admit it's pretty unusual for a coach to gush about one of his own players.

After watching his tape, I think the 4.5 time is accurate. He is usually running away from people no matter the team. He is listed at 185-190. I'm not interested in going back to the Demps/Rainey era. He better be able to put on weight. Runningbacks are usually a dime a dozen. With a solid o-line, this guy can produce. I'd rather they take a chance on another Jawaan Taylor than this guy. Also, still a better prospect than Kadarius Toney. Never mind Toney is finishing near last in his races. Hey, the dude can throw a javelin. That's 5 star worthy.

Anyone can produce with a solid o-line. I personally could have a 1,000 yard season behind the Cowboys OL.

I think one thing we need is big play threats. Maybe this guy just becomes a good kick returner/punt returner. I think the loss of Massey in game 1 has really hurt this team and the team doesn't have enough big play options right now. So getting a guy with speed isn't a bad thing.

Oy, I forgot we lost Massey. He definitely could have helped this year. Did he red-shirt, so he still has 2 yrs with us?

We all know Mac loves him some RBs who play pad level.

I don't think the medical red-shirts are done until after the season, but I am sure he will request one. No reason for him not to do that.

applied for after the season, but he fits the criteria.

Looks like Davis was our Plan B, if Lemmon's Lemmoned

Agree. I'd love to know why there wasn't a Plan B (or C, or Z) last year at DT.

The biggest failure of last year's class was the lack of plan b at DT, in my opinion. Maybe this is a sign, they are learning from that. We shall see.

I know this may seem foreign to some posters here but there are actually 220-230# RB's with 4.5 speed......I swear I'm not just making it up.....So unless this guy packs on 30# to go with his 4.5 speed color me unimpressed.

We know you lik'em thick 'Crete.

We know you lik'em think 'Crete.

That's an old picture man, Bert was well under #350 then....

 

[Swamp Donkey]

That is true. He is at least 50 pounds heavier now.

Listening to the radio today they said Davis was closer to 4.4 than 4.5 and that he is the all-time leading rusher in Hillsborough County.

Plan B?????

There was no G D plan A! One fvkking DT isn't plan A, even if the guy isn't both retarded and all Nole. If he WASN'T stupid, lazy, and all Nole, he'd still only be 1/4 -- remember you still have to make up for the ZERO DTs you got the year before also-- of a plan A.

We pay these guys fvkking millions and they are sitting around apparently unable to find anyone on the damn staff who can count.
