Another weakness of DD............Frills said:Held out of practice yet again today
Now a gametime decision, which means OUT
I thought he looked a little peeved about that last game. That was good to see.SESupergenius said:Let's see we have Wells, Morency, and Hollings. I kinds like Wells when he glares back at Carr when Carr misses him in on the flat passes. Oh the joy and excitement!
DD is in almost on every play, and he is by far the most productive player on the team. When he gets so much action as he do, he is more likely to get hurt.TexanAlmighty said:Another weakness of DD............
While it is not totally fair given the physical nature of the position, this is the number reason that DomDavis will probably never be considered more than a decent, solid starter in the league. There are only a handful of backs in the league who can regularly take such poundings, but it is one of the things separates one player from another.Malloy said:DD is in almost on every play, and he is by far the most productive player on the team.

DD getting hurt is not because he's brittle, but more likely because he is carrying an overload in every single game.
ArlingtonTexan said:On that list of negatives against the current administration, using three draft picks on middle round RBs and not making it a priority to play them regularly in some combination to keep your best RB somewhat healthy needs to be included.
We will just disagree here. DomDavis does not take more hits than other RBs. the nature of job is a ton of hits by people bigger than you. IMO, he is the player who benefits the least with a better OL as the run blocking for the Texans has been a decent NFL level during his stay.royce1054 said:he will play come on DD has been one of the most durable backs. He takes alot of hits but with an improved line he would be a top 7 or 8 back in the league.

what an idea
But i dont think decent is enought. Imagine if we were say above average how much better would we beArlingtonTexan said:We will just disagree here.

The biggest knock on Davis has been his ability to stay healthy or perfom at a high enough level when dinged up.
Yep and they have no salary cap to work with.royce1054 said:Also notice they have 1 that runs up the middle and 1 that runs to the OUTSIDE
FYI Davis hasn't practiced in 4-5 weeks and has been listed as a gametime decision in most of those weeks and yet he's played in all of those games and posted his two best games of the year the last two weeks.Frills said:Held out of practice yet again today

If you saying Davis becomes a 1250 yard back instead of squeaking out his 1,000 then I will buy that, but he is not a 1,500 guy waiting to happen. While he gets the most out his ability and what the offense provides him(better than anyone on the team), I don't see the skills needed for him to do significantly more than he is now.royce1054 said:But i dont think decent is enought.

I don't know if he'll ever rush for 1500 yards if we improve our team and use him properly, but I can definitely see him getting 1300 rushing yards and 700 receiving yards in a season (he's averaged 1109 rushing and 469 receiving yards in 14.5 games per year thru his first two seasons already, so 1300 and 700 are not at all far-fetched numbers and 2000 yards from scrimmage is far from being mediocre)ArlingtonTexan said:If you saying Davis becomes a 1250 yard back instead of squeaking out his 1,000 then I will buy that, but he is not a 1,500 guy waiting to happen.

Or last year. 1188 yds rushing and 588 receiving--my bad he was 24 yds short. Obviously he could barely hope to get another 24 yds in a season.xtruroyaltyx said:Maybe more like 1800....1200 rushing...600 recieving...and it would have to be the best season of his whole life

I think you arent giving DD enough credit here. I think we can have a 1300 yard season if we have an above average O-line. Right now our O-line is decent which to me like a 2 out of 5. If you put DD behind New Englands or Seattle's.. one of those teams i think he a 1500 yard rusher. But obcourse hes not on ones of those teams hes on the Texans. DD has relied on being more a back out of the backfield and getting about 80-90 yards a game. If we improve the O-line i think he could be a 95-105 yard rusher a game and getting a little less out of the backfield passes. Those extra 15-25 yards a game i think would help this team out alot.xtruroyaltyx said:Maybe more like 1800....1200 rushing...600 recieving...and it would have to be the best season of his whole life
He already had 1188 and 588 and 14 TDs last year in his second year in the NFL while missing one game, so he has already come within 24 total yards of your "best season of his whole life". He has plenty of room for improvement and with an improved offensive line and better coaching he can easily surpass 1300 and 700.xtruroyaltyx said:Maybe more like 1800....1200 rushing...600 recieving...and it would have to be the best season of his whole life
Mods can we get an icon for bi-polar. It seems we have a message board borne viral strain.xtruroyaltyx said:9th in attempts and he didn't manage 1200....
Being demonstrably factually incorrect is not a violation of the terms of use. Nor is hyperbole, poor sarcasm (my own worst offense) or a number of other annoying traits. Now everyone back to their corners and let's have a clean match.Kaiser Toro said:Mods can we get an icon for bi-polar. It seems we have a message board borne viral strain.
I disagree with you about the oline run blocking being a decent NFL level. I think he makes them look better than what they are. That is why when you stick a Hollings or Morency in there they look like ****. I am not sure about the stats but it just seems that way to me.ArlingtonTexan said:We will just disagree here.

When have you seen Hollings recently? Wells numbers are pretty similar to DomDavis in his starts. IMO, the current offense funnels the ball to the TB. If OL passed blocked better and the passing game was more efficient, I don't believe the number of touches would increase out the position (could even be fewer) . At 4.2 yards per carry, I think Davis is right about what he would get in any system. In terms ot talent to production, domDavis is the most efficient player on the Texans roster and IMO has the least room for upward growth. Not meaning to come off as knocking him unfairly.TexHorns said:I disagree with you about the oline run blocking being a decent NFL level. I think he makes them look better than what they are.

I for one think we should draft Reggie Bush he can play LB, CB, LT, DT, oline depth, RB, WR and TE all at the same time. With that talent who in there right mind would pass him up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Napa Auto Parts said:DD durability is just fine he never gets injured or never misses a game he is the second coming of Emmith Smith We dont need Reggie Bush the hell with playmakers that can changethe game in a single play im happy with DD
