I read and analyze all of these jrry32, and you know that I have strongly disagreed on some of them. Most of these examples show a pretty good pocket, and enough perspective to see that Davis appears to have a window. This is one of the bad things that I have been seeing, that he's missing guys in his window of vision. You also caught one of the type of plays that I mentioned yesterday, that he will run into pressure sometimes.
I've studied film as a coach, and I should mention that in some of these plays, it's important to mention to look at the defenders hips, as an indication if they'd be able to get into the play if Davis makes a different decision. I'd have to side that in most of these they wouldn't be able to. I also want to mention that there is evidence of a few nice pockets, and separation, something we haven't seen much of in previous years. Even though Davis isn't tall, look at the one play where the OL opens a huge hole for him to see his two options. New Orleans is famous for this, because of Drew Brees.
What we don't know. Is Davis being told that one receiver is the main option, and this receiver should be open? I hope not, and I really don't think so. Most plays are built on at least two options, depending on where the LB's, and S's bite, but there are some specific "pick" plays designed to get one guy open.
I can make the argument that you cherry picked these, but of course you did, that is the whole point, but I could also make the case that there was some low hanging fruit to choose from. The common denominator, to me, is that he seems to panic, and then loses all his vision. He does a great job, in some cases, of extending the play, but for some reason can't pull the trigger, or can't see who is open, even if they are right in his sight line. This concerns me the most.
Can it be fixed? Can he get better? Can he be calmer in the pocket? Is he doing what the coaches are asking him to do? These are questions that I can't answer.
I would like to see some progression from him this week, maybe the clock will slow down a little. Maybe that little is enough where we can win some games with him. I know what Fisher said, but if he doesn't show some progression, and I mean fast, I think he'd be forced to make a change. Fisher doesn't play, or coach for draft picks, and the franchise needs to win as many as they can. We've been abysmal in that area for far too long. My hope, is that it all comes together for Davis, but I'm losing patience with him. I am feeling better about the team as a whole, however. I like what the rooks are bringing, they give me hope for the future.
