but skins said psychhhh

Redskins practice squad RB James Davis indicated on Twitter that the Panthers tried to sign him to their active roster Monday, but that Washington blocked the move.

Tweeted Davis, "I thought stayin' here could be a good fit plus the Skins took care of me." Teams can increase practice squad salaries in order to "block" players from signing with active rosters elsewhere. It also sounds like Davis is confident he could get a look on Washington's 53-man roster before the season is through. Davis is someone to keep a close eye on with Ryan Torain (hamstring) and Clinton Portis (groin) banged up.

So guys are passing on an active NFL roster spot to stay on the PS. Wow. HC search will be about the same based on the tune Fox is singing right now. Low point in Panthers history is right now.

Everyone gets healthy and he is gone. Prolly made a good decision since the Skins obviously like him.

eh, Davis is just thinking long term. Carolina has Williams, Stewart, Sutton and Goodson. He would be a one week or two week fill in and gone. Redskins don't have that kind of depth at RB. I think what Davis said makes sense....he has a better shot of being a legitimate player for Washington.

      Bryce is elite at deep throws

      By beckersteen · Posted

      We had a QB who could do that and its the last time we went to the Super Bowl and the only time we had an MVP. Once he lost his ability to do that he was out of the league. To filter out insignificant stats I will only look at QBs who have played in 10 or more games this year. There are 28 qualifying QBs. Bryce is 25th in Air Yards per Attempt at 6.4. Only Joe Flacco, Cam Ward, and Dillon Gabriel are worse (6.0, 5.8, 5.1). Trevor Lawrence, Patrick Mahomes, and CJ Stroud are the median QBs at 7.1. Drake Maye and Sam Darnold lead the league at 8.7. Bryce is 18th in the league for passes that travel 30+ yards at 12. The median is Caleb Williams at 15. The league leader is Matthew Stafford with 26. With passes that travel 40+ yards, Bryce is tied with three others at 21st in the league with 3. Only Jacoby Brissett, Cam Ward, Joe Flacco, and Dillon Gabriel are worse. The median is a three-way tie with Drake Maye, Trevor Lawrence, and Baker Mayfield with 6. The league leader is Sam Darnold with 12. Having the ability to complete passes down the field (not YAC) stretches the defense and makes them account for more ground. It keeps players out of the box and keeps formations in nickel or dime, less line backers for your RBs to worry about. Bryce is why we have 2 losses against the Saints. If he had the outright ability to sling the football down field we beat the easily, but he doesn't. So they crowded the box and our 2 starting caliber RBs with our top ~10 Oline couldn't carry the offense to a win on their own. The limitations of the offense fall squarely on Bryce.

      Bryce’s deep passes are intermediate passes for other strong armed QBs. I will say that Bryce’s accuracy on his deep passes have improved. Before they would just sail out of bounds. Now the WR actually has a fighting chance on the ball.
