I’m not an expert. I don’t have the time or desire to watch every training camp, preseason, and regular season snap of Davenport. From my limited perspective, he doesn’t look as good this season as last. So, no I don’t like trajectory. It was pretty clear when Jordan was entering his second season that he was going to take a step forward. I’ve never had that feeling about Davenport.
The guy is talented and he plays hard on the field, but I can’t help agreeing with Pete that Davenport needs to become a professional and take the offseason seriously like his job depends on it.
The play presented in the OP gives me little reassurance that what my eyes have told me is wrong. He needs to start winning one-on-one battles and do more than get in the way of people.
Doesn't that seem like a bit of an overreaction though (not trying to sound insulting)? It was one game, and not even a bad one (worst case scenario). He was also asked to play differently for that one game (due to injuries/suspensions).
I don't see why that should be enough to "not like" the trajectory he has been on.
