Re: Potential trades

They can't fix the defense by making mid season trades. That's not happening. It's going to have to happen during the off season by drafting and adding a free agent or two.

In the meantime, get Davis back on the field and out him at his natural position. He can spell Wagner who got abused last week. He at least he adds some speed. Not a fan of just benching him. Seems kinda of useless sitting one of your best athletes.

Being athletic isn't enough to be given the job. Maybe the coaches don't trust Davis to do his job accordingly.

We've seen him play LB w/ very mixed results. But he can help, not saying he is a starter but just putting him in street clothes on gameday when your defense gets torched seems ridiculous. He's not a pass rusher. That's not his position. But he can blitz. He can run down ball carriers. He can run with tight ends.

After four years in the NFL Davis still doesn't have a clue about how to play the game of football. He represents another wasted draft pick of the Snyder era.

Exactly. I think it is clear that we would not have been any better off with Davis dressed than with him on the bench at this point.

I don't know about that. If there's someone out there that's a good fit, it's only week 7. The goal is to be clicking down the stretch, like seven games from now. There's no reason in the world why a good mid-season trade for the right player can't help this defense, even if that player can't contribute immediately.

Now I don't know if that player (or players) is out there and whether the price is right, but to just say: "nah, not interested in helping the defense this year", is a bad approach IMO.
