Why Did We Draft Fred Davis?

You certainly hate to hear of trust issues. It sounds like hes a very slow learner.

I was shocked that we even IMO wasted a draft pick on a TE. With already having an elite TE in Cooley and a solid #2 in Yoder. I guess we will have to take a wait and see approach, not much choice at the moment.

At the moment all three second round picks in this years class are suspect, I would have been happy with one of the three stepping up and making some contributions to the team this season.

Well, Yoder shouldn't be on an NFL team, so there's that. I suppose we could do worse than Yoder at No. 2, but it's easy to do better.

Davis is never going to pass Cooley on the depth chart, but it would be nice if we could go base 2 TEs in the post Sellers era. Portis would totally rock in that formation, given that the defense would have one more gap to defend and Portis reads zone blocking as well as any player in the history of the NFL.

Right now though, the only solution is just to have Sellers play more.

*Gasp* Zorn doesn't trust rookies, and lately Zorn has been less open when it comes to the offense so that means......THAT Zorn doesn't trust himself. I see. The ways of the Freudian slip are strong.

Or maybe it's just the OL is underperforming so he's not comfortable in getting JC killed by opening things up? And with a low margin for error, he knows we simply cannot afford silly rookie mistakes?

Zorn isn't the first or last NFL head coach to not trust rookies.

Sounds a lot like Joe Gibbs ;-)

I don't think it's ALL the offensive line, because they've been bad at protecting JC all year and we've overcome that for some pretty impressive victories. My initial impression (and I haven't looked at the tape) is that the difference in the last two weeks is all in how Campbell and Moss are seeing the field.

But if you're are right, and the offensive line has been that much more offensive over the last two games that it's ruining everything Zorn would like to do, I would think he HAS to start benching players like Rabach and Jansen, right? He wouldn't go through the rest of the season just trying to playcall around piss poor talent on the OL, would he?

Because that would get very ugly, very fast. This team would be basically unwatchable for the remainder.

OH, I see now EVERYONE wants to talk about the O-Line. How typical
