I would agree with this. However he still makes the mental mistakes and generally reacts slowly in coverage. When linebackers are playing in coverage now more than ever, you need to have that. Davis looks great stopping the run, but that’s only going to get him so far. Honestly, I think he needs to be deployed more as a pass-rusher. I don’t see the coverage skills coming around to be able to handle talent similar to McKissec or Logan Thomas. He’s much better at the LOS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troublez Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 I been thinking the same thing in regards to his pass rush.... he looks naturally gifted rushing the passer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but he’s 235 pounds, he’s not going to be an every down pass rusher. He can and should be used as a blitzer though at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtle28 Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 This looks cool, I still think it’s stupid that we’re have a black out for a 1:00 game though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe someday when we’re old & gray, but not today! 😂 I just realized we don’t have a home night game. We played at Chicago on Thursday night & play at Philly next Monday. 😮 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see the coverage skills coming around to be able to handle talent similar to McKissec or Logan Thomas. He’s much better at the LOS. He’s also outstanding covering backs coming out of the backfield. A LB should never be matched up against a guy like Terry McLaurin. If they’re getting their WR1 lined up on a LB, they’ve already beaten you before the snap even happens. You just can’t get outmaneuvered that badly by alignment, because no LB can hang with a guy like McLaurin for more than a couple seconds. The next step for Jamin is being better able to handle the run-of-the-mill slot guys and definitely the TEs in coverage that requires him to be prepared to give ground. He gets beaten quickly by the slot guys (lots of LBs do), but he needs to be better in that area to become a legit WLB type who can be a Swiss Army knife for a defense. He’s physically able to do it, but the technique and the leverage and the ability to resist the head and body fakes is not where you’d like it to be for a guy who will have to be at least something of a “cover LB.” Edited November 5, 2022 by e16bball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naptownskinsfan Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 I’ve gotta admit, I am pretty excited to see a game live for the first time in a long time. The crowd will be interesting tomorrow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that is a bit strange. But it’s a drop in the bucket (in the universe, really) in comparison to the amount of money that’s about to go into Snyder’s pocket, so I guess it’s a bit inconsequential. For me at least, I stopped spending money on the team when I knew it was helping to perpetuate his continued grasp on the organization. Now that (hopefully) we’re moving quickly towards a post-Snyder existence, I’m not really as concerned about it, if the personal boycott just for the purpose of spiting him. I guess other folks must feel the same way? My step-kid is a big Giants fan, I may even take him down there for the game near Christmas. Haven’t been to that stadium to watch them since the game after Sean died. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
