Default Panthers linebacker Davis ready to bust

Quote:
Once the Carolina Panthers broke their huddle at the end of practice Monday, linebacker Thomas Davis joined a group of players who ran a lap around the field.

It wasn't voluntary.

"When you jump offsides around here, you've got to pay for it," he said.
Davis and the Panthers don't want to jump to conclusions prematurely, but they believe this may be the year he finally showcases the array of abilities that led them to pick him in the first round of the 2005 draft.
He's strong, quick and fast, but he didn't sparkle his first two years because of position changes. He played safety as a rookie (his college position at Georgia) but was drafted to play linebacker and moved there in 2006.

He showed progress last year, making his first NFL interception and recording a career-high three sacks, but might really be ready to break loose this season.

Davis is excited because it's his third year at linebacker and his first after moving from the strong side of the line to the weak side, meaning he won't have to face the blocks of opposing tight ends much anymore.

"I feel like I'm really comfortable in the position I'm in now," he said. "I feel like it's going to show on the field."

As long as he doesn't burst, he should be ok, even if he's a bust. He's a smart guy

Personally i think Davis is meaner than Beason. Beason is the leader though. Those two are going to be cornerstones of our defense for years.

I knew he was being sarcastic. I was only kidding.
And just because you have a higher post count doesn't mean you know more about football.
