Fred Davis a No Show at Practice

[itvnetop]

I really hope Fred isn't following in the footsteps of fellow Trojan, Mike Williams. Please Fred, let this be it!

[TheMalcolmConnection]

I agree. Before I start getting all up in arms over it, let's see if it's a trend...

If not, oh well. it's done.

[724Skinsfan]

A liitle dissappointed at first but now what's done is done. Let's try to be a little more accountable now that your in the Big League, Fred.

[Daseal]

Who here hasn't overslept for something? It was probably just a mistake. Maybe he power blinked, maybe his alarm clock turned off, etc. Now days it's easy to mix up AM/PM on your clock. It happens, unfortunately.

[SeanTaylor21]

He better be trying extra hard during training camp to get out of the doghouse.

[drew54]

This should make his contract negotiations a snap.

[Ruhskins]

Hey it could be worst, he could be sitting out b/c of contract dispute. While it is not a good way to start things out, worst things could happen.

[Beemnseven]

I don't know ... one of my first days on the job, and I oversleep? Being in the NFL would cause me to LOSE sleep.

Remember, the knock on this guy at USC was the he's not a hard worker, and didn't take his responsibilities seriously. So far, he's living up to his reputation.

Not good.

[KB24]

Man, this had better be an isolated incident. I have VERY LOW tolerance for irresponsibility.

[riggins44]

I wasn't crazy about his selection to begin with, but was willing to give him
a chance. This doesn't give me warm fuzzies about the kid.

Davis needs to realize this isn't college and there is not guaranteed
starting or roster spot. There are a lot of guys will to take his spot.

[MTK]

Hopefully just a one time innocent mistake.

Wait a minute. The knock on him in the draft was that he was lazy and missed team meetings, I wish I could find the exact quote. Good to see that concern was completely off base. Yeah, we've all overslept, but this was what, his second day on the job? In the NFL? Maybe Tyler Ecker tripped the fuse to his clock/radio.

And pulled his groin in the process. Has that guy ever made it on the field?

Thank you!! I remember Mike Mayock from NFL Network saying the reason Davis fell into the 2nd round was because of work habits and he was always late for team meetings. I'd be willing to bet that Davis is one of those guys who was good enough to get by without working hard. Kind of like Anthony Montgomery when he first got here. Well this kind of crap isn't going to fly in the NFL. Who the hell oversleeps and misses the whole practice?? What a dumb ass. I already don't like this guy or the draft pick.

I won't go that far, but of the 3 2nd round picks, his was the one I felt might've been better used on another position, and at the time I wasn't aware of his rep at usc. If he's going to be a problem & is only a 2nd string TE, you have to question the overall "value" of the pick.

It's way too early to make any judgements about him, but he's definitely drawn some negative attention very quickly. On a positive note, hopefully this is his wake up call (pun intended) to nfl life, where every mistake you make will be talked about in chat rooms like ours!
