Carl Davis is brilliant in rookie debut

[TBird]

We have threads on him, look them up but this guy is the steal of the entire draft. Denver

could not deal with him and Brandon Williams up the middle.

 

Here are Film Study's notes on him:

 

Carl Davis had a terrific NFL debut including good play versus the run and significant pass rush contributions. Davis notes included:

–(Q2, 15:00) He beat Mathis cleanly to the outside to pressure Manning. As he held him by the sleeve, Manning made an ill-advised, left-handed flip to Daniels that went for a loss of 4.

–(Q2, 12:16) He held the edge versus a double from TEs Casey and Green as Canty took down Hillman for a gain of 2.

–(Q2, 11:49) Davis held a double team versus Paradis and Mathis as McClellan came on a green dog blitz through the resulting gap to sack Manning for a loss of 9.

–(Q2, 4:51) He backed up Mathis then shed him to tackle Anderson for a gain of 1.

–(Q3, 13:20) He took a double team from Paradis and Vasquez yet was able to bat down Manning’s pass near the line of scrimmage.

–(Q4, 13:08) He worked off Mathis to take down Anderson on an edge held by Guy. While his contribution was significant, Guy ended up on his back yet somehow was awarded the only tackle credit.

–(Q4, 11:42) Davis was sealed by Vasquez on Hillman’s 11-yard run right.

–(Q4, 7:39) Sambrailo drove back Davis to lead Hillman’s 9-yard run.

–(Q4, 7:11) Carl slipped off Vasquez to take down Hillman for a gain of 2.

I'm going to watch some of the coaches film tonight and tomorrow night. I want a nice, hard look to see what the Ravens have.

From what I saw Carl's holding his own and learning every game. Among many good qualities he's got stamina...very important.

I haven't seen anybody push him around and wear him out.

This guy in someways reminds me of a young Michael McCrary, at least motor wise .

Speaking of pushing him, I just saw a high light where he hits the blocker with one hand and

drives him back 10 yards. I think he was a RB coming up to hit him. WoW.

As good as Davis was, hopefully Jernigan will be back soon. We will need the interior pass rush.

Yea, but Manning had trouble with that stout defense as much as Joe did vs theirs. He had a

receiver to throw to, Joe didn't. That was the difference and the pressure on Joe.

Exactly.

 

Our wrs disappeared and Perriman as of today is an after thought.

 

Gilmore Maxx Williams And Boyle. It's time to step up.
