Thomas Davis = Javon Nanton

[Zbrod95]

First step is insane, Will absolutely be a factor on passing downs.

Just don’t forget who was the first dude to really pound the table for him. That said he should be playing a hybrid role.

 

[Rellyrell]

Nanton had size though; I agree w/ TD’s 1st step, & that’ll be his equalizer, but my guy needs another 15-20lbs to hold up, imo.

 

[KingB02]

Should be a linebacker here. Balled out his senior year in HS there!! Has the speed and instincts for it

 

[WestEndZone]

He’s a player. But I said before, he looks like the scrappy JV kid that just got moved up to varsity and he jersey doesn’t quite fit him yet.

 

[RangerGranger]

He also had an insane wingspan that allowed him to play a lot bigger than he was.

You can get away with being short if you have the arms of an NBA power forward.

Wingspan matters, but there are many NFL sack artists in the NFL with 32 inch arms.

And I'm no biologist (lol), but Thomas Davis looks like he has 32 inch arms or longer.

Thomas Davis and Tyler Johnson [Just askin'?]

Any news on these two at all. They are part of the tweeter group that we liked to recruit in the past.

I think he’ll be fine on passing downs, but we probably can’t play him on 1st and 2nd.

He is still a FRESHMAN though.

Hopefully he develops physically better than Flagg has. I was hoping he could get a lot stronger by now, his third year, but that hasn’t been the case.

I agree. But still let him rush the edge. He and Brooks have a lot of tape moving back and forth. I thought we should have used them like that here.

 

[MumbleRap]

I get Marcus Robinson vibes. Think he’ll definitely play a part on 3rd and long.

 

[brock]

If he can be a Trent harris type of guy for us that would be great

Way more athletic than trusty Trent

 

[BeastMode]

Way more athletic than trusty Trent

Way smaller than Trent also. Trent was good against the run. Davis has no chance to play on potential running downs.

im saying that in comparison of him not starting but still being a force off the edge for Miami like he was

 

[jsy]

If he’s good he’ll play and make plays no matter his size
Brian burns has almost 10 sacks playing at 220 as a freshman
I’m tired of making excuses for players
It’s time for them to just produce or portal out

 

[McKenzieMoore]

Elvis Dummerville was 5’11”. Guy was a beast. Just saying

5'11 and 250. Not a major liability against the run.

 

[fresssh]

Havent noticed Davis last couple games. Has he played?

 

[Geddy Lee]

Haven’t seen him since week 2. He’s gonna hit the portal.

 

[fresssh]

Hmm. Know size wise hes bit of a tweener, but seemed like he was always getting a good rush when he was in.

I think he stays.

Jafari Harvey is probably leaving and that rush end/ spy end, is needed.

Why do you think Jafari leaves? He has gotten a lot of burn, and seems to be a leader on the team. Have you heard of some discontent on his part?

Not at all. Just my opinion.
