Davis was complaining about playing time last week, and he didn't limit voicing his complaint to just the coaches, or keep it in the locker room.

It's time for him to go

When will these kids learn that the coaches around the league want team players. If you are considered a team player your career will last longer then your talent would warrant. If you are not a team player then teams will find a way to dump you the moment your talent starts to dip (See Randy Moss).

Still theres always guys like Davis that come into the NFL and get a dose of culture shock, or whatever you want to call it. Guy has been the man since at least high school (ranked 6th RB in the nation after his senior year).

Considered a four-star recruit by Rivals.com,[1] Davis was listed as the No. 6 running back prospect in the nation in the class of 2005.[2] He chose Clemson over Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana State, Mississippi State, Tennessee, and Virginia Tech.
[edit]

Then he became the big man on campus for four years at Clemson. Now he's in the NFL going from team to team in a place where he currently appears to be 6th on the depth chart. Maybe 7th if you put Williams back at RB. Big adjustment for a guy who was "the man" for such a long time.

Yup. He wasn't gonna make the team and was probably a long shot to make the practice squad.

At least now we can pick up another camp body at WR. We're running a little thin there.

He had no shot here anyway. See ya.

Not just here - he's likely torpedoed his shot to land anywhere. Running backs are a dime a dozen and Davis has never done squat in this league. Simply no reason for anyone to sign a marginal player with this kind of attitude problem

Did Jason Reid write the article and then refer back to the Skins unfair treatment of McNabb while simultaneously calling Beck the worst QB in the NFL?

His man-crush is now in Minnesota...his most hated is in NE, Jason is now searching.

And to think, we thought we got rid of the bias journalism when JLC left. Granted I don't want someone like Larry Michael covering the team where everything is ALWAYS good even though we're down like 59-28. However the venom the other way isn't that much fun to see either.

The need for extreme venom is long gone now that Vinny has been replaced with competent management. That was the last point in time I would have welcomed every single article bashing the Skins to the brink, which was before Vinny got canned and there was the possibility of him coming back. However once he resigned and Bruce got hired the time for typical Redskin JLC bashing was over.

Mike Jones and Jason Reid are not the same person

I know. Just wanted to get a cheap shot in at J Reid who's still mad that Shanahan took his best friend away and sent him to New England....no wait a second that isn't right. Hold on.

I guess Davis didn't understand that not everyone was going to get the same amount of playing time every game? He's an idiot because the coaching staff might have had him chalked up for more playing time then others next week. Oh well, we definitely don't need that attitude around the park anymore, they got rid of AH, they don't need someone else filling that role. Let him take that elsewhere.

I think its also predicated on how well the player practices and works hard. If he's not working hard he's not going to see the field.

Chris Neild working for smooth transition - The Insider - The Washington Post

so there is a chance that we don't keep 3 NT on our depth chart this year. I really think/thought that we would have Barry Cofield, Anthony Bryant, and Chris Neild.

Even Cofield is only going to play 60% of the snaps. A third NT would never be active but in case of injury to the starter. And even then, this team can get through a game with just one active NT.

Neild should keep working hard just in case the Anthony Bryant project doesn't work out and there is a spot for him on the active roster, but he has basically no chance to make the team out of camp.
