Bring back Stephen Davis
Just a thought but with our RB injuries why not take a shot at Stephen Davis. He was recently given a physical and passed so he is at least healthy enough to make a roster. It looks like he will be visiting Philly tomorrow which I really hate to see. WHEN HEALTHY he is still a very good power runner. He would be a great change of pace to Portis when he is back and should be able to stay healthy since he wouldn't be rushing 20 times a game. If we could get him cheap I would love to see him back on the roster.

Re: Bring back Stephen Davis
I kinda agree, it would be nice to use him kinda how pittsburgh used Bettis, short yards and goal line. And let Portis handle the bulk of the work, I am not saying to only use Portis between the 20's, I mean use him in the red zone but when it is like 1st and goal at the 3yard line the use Davis... Imagine trying to shed a block from Sellers only to have Davis run you over!!!

Re: Bring back Stephen Davis
Davis is done.
We have a younger and more capable backup already on the roster. Ladell Betts. |

Re: Bring back Stephen Davis
We should put up a schedule, so we know who will start this topic next week.
Even if Davis had another 100 carries left in him - which is seriously in doubt - would bringing him back be a good thing for a young team? Knee surgery last year, microfracture surgery on the knees the year before - these are bad things. I would suggest that it says more about the desperation of the Eagles than it does the eroding skill level of a once very good player.

Re: Bring back Stephen Davis
i say bring him back for the vet minimum. He started here so why not let him finish here. The philadelphia daily new report reports him there for a physical but also said the skins are in contact with him as well. Davis may not have much left in the tank but he spell betts and portis better than rock could and especially davis and sellars on the goaline. Davis is and will always be a skin in my book. Spurrier screwed us by replacing him with Trung canidate. That was the answer!!!!

Re: Bring back Stephen Davis
If we bring SD back we will be assured of having fumbles at critical times in critical games.
