Thomas Davis should not be placed on IR

From the time TD was injured last year, it took him about 6 months to return to action. If we plug that time frame in here, but spare him some time to make sure he isn't too vulnerable, we could see him back by late December. That means that he will likely be near or at 100% by playoff time.

But the question is; should we take that chance?

Actually, they can put him on the pup list, which keeps him from counting against the roster until week 9 of the regular season. They would have a good idea how well he would be coming along, to make a decision at that time to add him to the roster, or put him on ir.

With davis being a fast healer, there is no reason to ir him now.

I don't know why we would risk bringing him back for the playoffs. At that point we have to be playing pretty well to make it to the playoffs to begin with. No need bringing in someone who has not played all year in favor a guy who had been doing it all along. I would keep the chemistry going and let Davis wait until the offseason. I like the PUP until week nine idea for now.

He is a star player. I think any team would do what they can to avoid putting him on ir. I agree with not messing up the chemisty of the defense if its playing well. Still, to get him back healthy, would be another quality lb that can step in and play should we lose another lb.

as already stated...what would be the purpose of having davis back so late in the season?

he would have been out of the loop for roughly a season and a half. i don't care how good he may be, the defense should have developed cohension by then...reintroducing a rusty player back into the fold may screw things up.

i for one am not on the "omg davis is hurt the season is over" train.

davis's success is the product of meeks's system...his position is almost plug and play. plug in a half way competent player now, and he could be having a davis like 2009 by the time davis is ready to get back on the field.

I'm not of the group that is freaking out over davis being gone.

But to mislabel davis as a system lb, you might as well admit to wearing blinders.

Any team would want to get a player of davis ability and leadership back.

To write him off at a positive that is the most injured on defense, is shortsighted at best.

      Joe Person mock draft. Mar 5.

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I love this draft because they picked the right OL.  It is possible that we have 2 rookies starting on the OL.  I would take Utah's Lomu as well, but for those who think you find the OL in free agency and not the draft, here is all I have to say:  We cannot give $110m to the 5 starting OL.  We need an infusion of youth on the OL as well.  If Ickey returns and can play, I imagine that he takes over for Hunt at RG--in 2027 or so.  Currently, our 2 guards and right tackle make up over 20% of the total cap.  We have to add 2 starters, but if Cade Mays was too pricey at around (anticipated) $8m, then we plan to draft a C, it seems. I think we draft an OT and C now because we will need a G or 2 and a RT soon.  While they were good in 2026, they were not elite.  For that kind of $$, we need elite.  Is starting a rookie LT and C ideal?  Nope.  But if we can get better than Nijman and Mays, we should be OK. I think we will pick up an ILB in free agency and add an ILB.  Who we draft (Mike or Will) will depend on who we sign.  Rodriguez is a favorite of mine, but if Golday is there, Morgan is going to take him.  Morgan will love him. I do not think we need to overpopulate the edge position right now because we have 1 edge returning from injury (Jones II), one rookie from last year ready to step up and could be really good (Scourton), and another who could be ready to step into the situational pass rusher role (Princely).  2 hold the edge very well and if we had a situational pass rusher to join Princely, we could be much better. I think rookies at Edge tend to jump considerably from their rookie seasons to years 2 and 3.  (Charles Johnson, Mike Rucker, and Greg Hardy were that way-and all became very good in time. Safety seems omitted, but we shall see.  That could be another free agent acquisition.

      Id like Evans from Duke in the draft as a shooter for the second unit. And probably a more athletic big to replace all, he's good but doesn't really fit the style. White, Evans, green, Williams and center tbd is a pretty good second unit
