He's big, looks good, and plays poorly. Watch the tape again. He stands around and doesn't effect much at all. He doesn't effect the run or the pass. If Davis is available in the late rounds he might be worth a flyer. Hard to get excited about a player with pretty good Sophomore tape, and progressively gets worse over his last two years.

What part of that are some of you missing? It's like you weren't even watching the games... But did we get run on because of poor defensive line play, or because of coaching? Obviously replacing the 4 plays where Lowry or Lancaster got straight beat against the 49ers would have helped tremendously, but that wouldn't have fixed the 14 plays where we were just out schemed.

They were running the ball down our throats until their mistakes caught up to them and they were forced to pass. Also, both Minnesota games. Cook ran wild. Tongue in cheek, but I"d give up my whole draft to get Derrick Brown from Auburn! AGAIN, tongue in cheek.

In the first game he had one long run of 75 yards. Outside that, he gained 79 yards on 19 carries. I'll take that all day from a RB of his talents.

You're saying you'll take a guy getting a 75 yard run and then on the balance of his carries getting over 4 yards a crack. I'm not OK with that at all. We were tied for 22nd in the league in rushing defense. That's a problem! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch the Auburn tape, in a rivalry game. He constantly stands around watching. He's appears lazy, and I don't believe he will be much of a pro. Certainly not one worth drafting in premium rounds.

Yes - the GBPs weren't terrific against the run in 2019. Check that box and keep it checked. It wont change. Conclusion reached. Yes - the GBPs won 13 games last year - until having their lunch handed to them by SF - primarily (as in exclusively...) by the run. Yes - the GBPs in 2020 need to improve their overall run defense. Yes - I'd take holding a RB of Cook's quality to 79 yards total as a good game. You wouldnt? Fine. Oh sorry - forgot about your mention of the 75 yard run. Yes - Cook got us on one. Found a seam and took off. Very "Barry Sander's-like" of him. It can happen to the best of them. He's good and he found a seam.

We were far from it! It needs to improve to make the next step. I assume we want to win a Super Bowl. We aren't winning a Super Bowl when a team can run for 280+ yards on us in the NFC Championship game and only throw the ball 8 times. It's not a nuanced point, it's pretty matter of fact.

I replied to your inaccurate comment about Cook and wondered why this entire "2019 discussion" of known facts is being debated again. All known points. Hopefully the IDL will be addressed this off season. Stay tuned. Pictures at 11. Edited March 23, 2020 by Leader Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's only so many guys with the length, size, and athletic ability to play this thing, but I'm not sure I could handle Gary and Davis in this thing together. That's a ton of college underachieving hanging out on this DL. This team doesn't need another run plug. It needs a legitimate 3 and 5 Anybody else shutting down the Raekwon Davis hype after yesterday. Yikes. Guess who all of the above quotes are taken from?

None of which says anything about Davis being a bad run defender. Davis is a very good run defender. It's elsewhere where he falls short. There's not an easier projection to an upgrade anywhere in this draft than Davis replacing Lancaster. The problem is, do you hit a value point in the second round where Davis replacing Lancaster is worth sacrifing a 2nd round pick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitnhope Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 He isn't a "very good run defender". He is decent at the college level, with a chance to be a good run defender. If your stance is that getting Davis in the non-premium rounds would be a good move, then we can agree. He has a chance to be decent against the run. You don't invest high picks in that type of player. I'm guessing that is what you mean with your second sentence. The person I responded to has made many posts advocating taking Davis in the 1st two rounds. I happen to think that is a terrible idea. You have to do better than that with premium picks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
