The additional size he's gained will help him tremendously with blocking bigger people. People forget he was in a run oriented offense at Nebraska.

Shanny had an exactly the same type of TE back when he was winning super bowls. His name was Shannon Sharpe.

You have to remember one thing. For whatever reason FDavis has risen to cult status among some fans. Last year he had his best yr of his career, but I didn't see him doing any better or worse then Cooley has done when healthy. So now that I've opened that can of worms lets takle it..... yes Cooley has been injured recently and I've wondered what could be the problem.... maybe he's just getting old, which I doubt thats a serious problem, or could it be something else. I think we shall see this year since it sounds like he had gained a lot of weight and has lost it for this coming year. That alone will wear on the knees.

But the problem with FDavis is he also seems to drop the ball, or fumble more then Cooley also. Not a good trait to have.

Blocking? Everyone seems to forget about Paulsen who was brought in for .... wait for it... yes his blocking ability. Paulsen filled in nicely and did an excellent job. Paul knows how to block which is a good thing, but he is listed as 6ft-1in, 224lbs on Redskins.com which is only about 25lbs lighter then Cooley or Davis. If he's gained close to 25lbs of muscle then Paul will be fine as a TE.

I still don't understand the cult status FDavis has gotten since he has yet to make it to a Pro Bowl even though fans seem to think he's going there every year.
