Fred Davis a No Show at Practice

[MTK]

Hopefully just a one time innocent mistake.

Wait a minute. The knock on him in the draft was that he was lazy and missed team meetings, I wish I could find the exact quote. Good to see that concern was completely off base. Yeah, we've all overslept, but this was what, his second day on the job? In the NFL? Maybe Tyler Ecker tripped the fuse to his clock/radio.

And pulled his groin in the process. Has that guy ever made it on the field?

Thank you!! I remember Mike Mayock from NFL Network saying the reason Davis fell into the 2nd round was because of work habits and he was always late for team meetings. I'd be willing to bet that Davis is one of those guys who was good enough to get by without working hard. Kind of like Anthony Montgomery when he first got here. Well this kind of crap isn't going to fly in the NFL. Who the hell oversleeps and misses the whole practice?? What a dumb ass. I already don't like this guy or the draft pick.

I won't go that far, but of the 3 2nd round picks, his was the one I felt might've been better used on another position, and at the time I wasn't aware of his rep at usc. If he's going to be a problem & is only a 2nd string TE, you have to question the overall "value" of the pick.

It's way too early to make any judgements about him, but he's definitely drawn some negative attention very quickly. On a positive note, hopefully this is his wake up call (pun intended) to nfl life, where every mistake you make will be talked about in chat rooms like ours!

Hopefully he'll learn quickly. I know he wasn't the hardest worker at USC, but he could slack off there and still be one of the best players on the team. Not the case in the NFL, plus there's big big bucks riding on it now. I imagine some of the vets and certainly the coaching staff will get in his ear. Fortunately he doesn't have legal red flags. If it's just a matter of simple laziness, hopefully the money that comes with being a NFL player will help get rid of that. Hopefully.
