Mike Davis likely has this game circled on his schedule


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

Mike Davis has already said he is pissed off on every play in the game. He runs angry. 

 

Well, this week he faces the Chicago Bears. 

On March 13, 2019, Davis signed a two-year, $6 million contract with the Chicago Bears. Davis was used sparingly and subsequently released on November 9th. The Carolina Panthers won him off waivers. Ron Rivera didn't recognize his talent, but apparently Rhule and company do. 

Now he is performing at an elite status and has a chance to stick it to Chicago for not believing in him. 

Look for Mike to put a little extra punch into his hard hitting run style this weekend.

Good News for us. 

He runs like a bull already. I's sure he'll pick it up a notch or two.

Well Rivera was part of the squad that claimed him off waivers, no? I think we got him before Ron was fired, may be wrong. Either way, it's not like Rhule and company used him at all before McCaffrey got injured...

Getting him off waivers is one thing. 

Getting him on the field is another. 

Rivera was god awful at the latter.

I agree, but did Rhule really prove to be better this year before #22 got hurt? Davis saw 3 snaps and no touches in the first game, and if I recall correctly only like 1 touch in game 2 before McCaffrey got hurt. Then he added a ton of catches in garbage time, but with McCaffrey healthy Davis did not have a role at all. Clearly he's proving he needs to be involved more even when McCaffrey comes back but it's yet to be seen how Rhule/Brady will use him or if they do. Because to start the season he was not involved at all, and McCaffrey was playing nearly 100% of the snaps just like he was under Rivera/Turner(s).

to be fair, its not like we had a rotation of JAGs at RB last season. We had the best RB in the NFL and he was producing. 

 

Also, I didnt see much of Davis this season until CMC got hurt. 

 

not saying we shouldnt have supplemented with more Davis to take a load of CMC, just saying it was pretty much the same story this season as last. Its very easy to keep CMC on the field when he is so talented and conditioned.

Didn’t realize he was on the team last year. God damn Ron was a bone head. Same thing when we had Mike Anderson, never played the dude.

Yes I agree. The current staff did the same thing before Christian’s injury. One could make the argument that if we split the RB load we may still have 22 healthy right now.

He was on the team 3 weeks for Rivera and another 4 after Rivera was let go and didn't get a snap until game 17. Blame the Turners and credit Brady.

The only reason he's getting this much is injury. People were critical of his lack of snaps just the same before CMC went down.

    • I’ll get killed for this but he always sounded gay to me. Not necessarily not gay, but feminine.  I tried to say it in a more subtle way and still got killed for it last year. fug it I don’t care it’s an honest opinion. I didn’t let that disqualify him and have been very patient and non critical. I just wondered how the big tough guys in the locker room would respond to that.  But whatever, I think he thinks too much from the emotional side. The rah rah positive deal, what must it sound like if he gets mad? Where is the tough hard ass side? The no empathy, get the job done or get gone. I wonder about that. It mean I doubt there is a lot of fear of failure going on.    So anyway to other comments about he sucks and all that, I said I needed a better reason to change my stance on him, which has been give him time. Continuity is super important.  This thing with the running backs is eroding the goodwill. 
    • He has a 54 mil buyout so he will be fine but LSU needs o move on.  
    • Sure if you just blindly look at stats, you can pinpoint a couple areas that look similar. But come on man that's lazy analysis. Instead of throwing lower percentage throws, Dalton held onto the ball unconscionably long, leading to several of those sacks including that unthinkable one at the end of the first half, inflating his completion percentage. Bryce for all his flaws, does a pretty good job of escaping pressure and scrambling for 5 yards or throwing it away. Dalton's pocket presence was just so incredibly bad today, which led to both of his lost fumbles. If Bryce would just hold onto the ball and get sacked every 3rd play instead of throw it away or try a contested pass, his completion percentage would be 15 points higher than Dalton's today. And Bryce only had more yardage in 3 of 7 games? You mean when we played run heavy schemes in our wins, instead of Dalton being forced to throw all game cause we're getting blown out?  Look anyone is more than justified in arguing Bryce Young doesn't have the tools to lead this team to a super bowl. But he has been head and shoulders better this year than what Dalton showed today. That was just an abysmal perfomance.
