Why Did We Draft Fred Davis?

[MTK]

He had a couple of chances in the red zone against the Lions on 2 pt conversions and couldn't come up with either one. Gotta make the most of his opportunities to earn more time.

Rumors are that he's struggled in picking up this offense, much like he did with Zorn. There's also talk that he lacks focus when he's not 'the man'.

His lack of focus protecting the right edge for the FG unit allowed the Texans to block a chip shot FG that would have put the Skins up by 10 with 5 minutes left - a HUGE factor in that loss.

idk, he blocked the inner guy as he is supposed to given the choice btw blocking the inner or outer rusher. but i suppose he could have chipped the outer guy but then in his attempt to block 2 guys he could have ended up blocking none.

If you've coached on any level rumors like this should make you cringe.
I have a hard time believing a coach would leak this type of information.
Imo when a coach points a finger at player for inability to learn or understand a football concepts there are 3 fingers pointing back at that coach for not being able to do their job and help a clearly talented player learn and produce within their scheme.

BTW somewhat off topis-(This is a problem i have with the whole Kyle and McNabb situation; IF they think/blame McNabb for not knowing the 2-minute offense or not knowing the plays as well as they want where is Kyle's culpability for not being able to have a talented QB like McNabb better prepared and more prducitve QB and to field a more productive passing offense (at least one that's more productive then last years passing game) with a more talented QB and offensive line.)

To be fair if I remember correctly McNabb did not give him a very good chance.

Hit him in the hands both times if I remember, or was at least very close on one of them. Ball came in hot but he's gotta make those plays.

If remember right I was thinking why didn't McNabb just float it up for Davis to go get but instead he drilled a pass at him from a few yards away. It was like he was trying to but the ball where only Davis had a chance to avoid the int. but on the two points just get the ball there. The int does not matter.
