Why are Texan Fans so Down on Dominick Davis

He isnt even Top 40

TexansNeedRBin05 enjoys entering a thread to bash DD then leave without ever supporting his claims. His opinions seem based more off Madden than actual football knowledge.

OK look--DD apologized for when he fumbled the football in training camp and knocked the ice cream out of your hand--get over it, this is pathetic.

How did he knock the Ice Cream out of my hand? Abilene is along way for Houston!
 
I agree that DD isnt HOF material, but that doesnt mean that he isnt a great back. He had 4 fumbles in the 1st 2 games cause he was trying to fight for more yards after contact and was getting stripped. After those 2 games, he did not fumble for the rest of the season. Some people say he isnt durable enough. How many backs can carry the ball as many times as he did, AND .catch 68 passes and not miss a game? A few people say he lacks breakaway speed. He might not be as fast as Portis, but if he gets in the open field, he can make people miss and go to the house. We saw that 2 times last season, 1 got called back though. I think that he will be even more productive this season. The run blocking should be very much improved, and with Morency taking some of the snaps, DD should stay healthy. I hope DD gets 1400-1500 yards rushing this season to shut some of you people up. cough* TexansNeedRBin05 cough*
 
Let's all bear in mind that he is entering his 3rd year ... on a former expansion team. Give him a lil time to become that seasoned vet you all claim he isn't or will ever be. Unlike most teams, we don't have the luxury of 5-7 years worth of draft picks in our starters much less the bench. Depth with the players that surround him will make him better IMO.

Look man, I don't know if you are an LSU hater or just DD but you need to get over it. All things considered he has done a great job regardless of what uninformed, so-called fans like you say.

PLEASE TEXANS GET A RB IN 05!

you should be happy to know that there are currently six runnigbacks on the texans roster. they are as follows:

Jason Anderson
Domanick Davis
Tony Hollings
Jonathan Wells
Adam Matthews
Vernand Morency

just to catch you up to speed, look for Domanick Davis, Tony Hollings, and Vernand Morency to make the team as RB's. Jonathen Wells could be kept as a fourth running back but has a chance at being switched to FB duties. if you haven't heard, we have one of the most promising young runningback's in the enitre NFL in Domanick Davis (known as DD around here). here is a synopsis of his impressive career thus far as a texan (from the texan's homepage):

Strong, darting runner who has become a focal point of Houston’s offense over his first two seasons…adept at shedding tackles and finding seams…has already rushed for 2,219 career yards and 21 TDs…has also caught 115 passes for 942 yards and one score…can boast eight career 100-yard games…holds 27 team records, including most career rushing yards, total yards (3,161) and TDs (22)…one of 13 NFL backs over the past 20 years to record consecutive 1,000-yard seasons to start his career…rushed for a career-high and club-record 1,188 yards in 2004, breaking his own 2003 record (1,031)…set a Texans single-game record with 158 rushing yards at Jacksonville (12/26/04)…led all AFC backs last season with 68 receptions…one of the NFL’s surprise success stories of 2003…led all rookies with 1,031 rushing yards, setting 16 team records in the process…totaled 1,381 yards from scrimmage and scored eight TDs despite not starting until Week 6…snagged five NFL Rookie of the Week honors before ultimately earning NFL Rookie of the Year honors…originally selected by the Texans in the fourth round (101st overall) of the 2003 NFL Draft, the eighth running back selected.

if your strictly a numbers guy here is great link for you to see how successful DD has been for the texans.

i always feel good when i get to help a fellow texan fan when it comes to the facts concerning our young franchise and it's promising players. your welcome, TexansNeedRBin05...

[/SARCASM]

also, when did a fumbling problem mean the same thing as a player had a couple bad games carrying the football? DD fumbled four times both in 2003 and 2004. i understand the fumbles in the begining of last season seemed like they decided the outcome of the charger's game (to some), but in the end four fumbles is four fumbles. 8 fumbles in 29 games isn't great by any means, but you have to think if this "fumbling problem" is one of DD's most notable problems, then is he really that bad? and break away speed, shmake away speed...ask curtis martin about break away speed and get laughed at :cool:

Joke Alert--picture a siren going off- - :homer: "Is that a good siren"--response "Have you ever known a siren to be good."

Dude, joke--if you really want me to supply answers I will but it will be in the same vein.
 
I am begining to smell the odor of a troll here. Just keeps harping on the same thing to get a rise out of supporters. Could just be a pimply faced kid who's stones haven't dropped, but I suspect a troll.

OH, you're a kid! Thank God. Look, you are judged almost entirely on what you say and what you do. Hopefully that will register for you in the next few years and you'll learn to be a little more respectful of people- especially those with the kind of work ethic and abilities with whom you make these ridiculous deragoatory comments about.

For instance, how about saying that you think the team could improve itself by getting a RB with more breakaway ability or that is more durable. YOu know, as opposed to Dom Davis SUCKS! See, the first option communicates the point I believe you'd like to make and it doesn't make everyone that reads it immediately dismiss you or your ideas. Saying that DD sucks only erodes your credibility, not his.

TexansNeedRBin05--this point pretty much sums things up. Look, we have a moderator here who is a young adult (I think that is the politically correct term). He got that position by expressing himself well. You on the other hand are getting called troll, etc. Your age is not important--how you define yourself is entirely dependent on how you post, not just the original post, but explaining, backing it up, and responding to others' information. Give it a try. You'll get a much better response than the one liners you have been providing.

Two of my favorite quotes:

"Youth is wasted on the Young" and "Old Age and Treachery will overcome youth and skill"... The Texans MUST have experience and youth, speed and strength... as does this discussion. DD has the strength, speed and now (I am hoping) our offensive line has the experience necessary to put is "all together" this year.

None the less, the above commentary offered is sound advice. :)
