Isn't he more blitzer than coverage linebacker, Lions fans? 

He's not much of either. Some Lions fans like to think he's a good pass rusher because it's the only thing he's ever done above the 'putrid' level.

I'll be fair and say there's a non-zero chance he could be better now that Patricia isn't coaching him. But it isn't much higher than 0.

He has terrific straight line speed and can pack a wallop if he gets a downhill shot at a target but he is terrible in space and seems to not have any instincts or awareness so he struggles in coverage and finishing as a blitzer.  In the box he can't stack and shed and tries to run around blocks but just runs himself out of the play or gets swallowed up by the trash. He has physical tools, maybe if the Jets can coach him up he can be a contributor. Detroit's coaching did him no favors.

He can blow someone up when attacking the line. The issue is, he does it like 3 times a season. Other than that, he offers nothing. And this from someone who wanted Davis in the draft and kept waiting for him to break out.
