I also get the sneeky feeling Coach Buges will teach him how to block just fine when he is on the line. Honestly....Buges could teach a garilla how to block. they must have taken him to compliment Cooley and cause match up problems with other teams. and of course because he was the best prospect still on the board at the time.
That's definitely key IMO. The scouting staff, FO, and coach Zorn especially saw this kid as a bigtime talent w/ huge upside for the WC offense. Whatever their concerns about Davis' ability to block in this league may have been the fact that Buges is there to coach him up meant Davis was too good an opportunity to pass on. I bet we see him make as many clutch catches, including red zone, as Thomas or Kelly will (not combined but individually). I can see us in the red zone, w/ defensive coordinators focusing on Cooley and then we see Davis free himself from the LOS and grab a 5 or 7 yard dunk. I'm pumped to see what he does w/ the ball in his hands.
