Tyeler Davison is the new starting nose tackle (1 Viewer)

[FatCitySaint]

I know each team doesn't have 22 first-rounders running out there at the beginning of the game. Obviously starters are coming from somewhere other than just the first round.

And the ones that do obviously aren't doing to well to keep getting high first round picks every year. haha.

 

[NWSaint]

He earned it. The tape doesn't lie.

Not bad for a 5th round pick, beating out a 3rd rounder. He earned it, we all saw it, and kudo's to staff for awarding him the position.

The defense is getting better.

I TOTALLY dig this!!.. a 5th rounder earning it!.. hell yeah.. Now take them big hands and beat the hell outta' that middle!.. GOTTA respect this!

I'm a big fan of this guy. Can't wait to see what he can do with a year of NFL weight training and experience behind him. If you're not excited about a pass rush of Jordan/Davison/Rankins/Edebali you ain't got a pulse.

Finally someone in the coaching staff recognized the below average performance of John Jenkins .... when I criticize him on this forum, I get red thumbed like crazy ....

I agree and I really don't know more about football than the average fan. However, Jenkins has never been all that good and I recall Gruden questioned his commitment on MNF a season or two ago. And we know Chucky is the most positive commentator ever.

Let's make sure we are congratulating Davison more than putting down Jenkins. Jenkins has had some rough injury luck that he has tried to fight through to just try and contribute to our team. He has done this all without complaint or incident despite constantly changing schemes. Was his production great? No, but when you are playing against the best of the best that doesn't mean he was lazy he just wasn't as good a football player. He is still in the 99.9 percentile for NT in the country you don't get that far being lazy.

Anyways congratulations to Davison the better our interior line plays the more it will help our biggest question marks at LB and RE.

Absolutely. Jenkins now has a system which should allow him to play and show what he is capable of. He lost a lot of strength last year with that torn pec, and now we will see how he responds to being set at 2nd string.

John Jenkins better get it together or he won't be here at the end of the season.

He doesn't fit in this defense.

Was drafted to play NT in 3-4, and showed promise.

Absolutely.

What was it he tore? His pec? I remember it was upper body. Guy was solid before then but hasn't looked the same since.

Every time I look at that highlights, the first play shown, am I wrong to say that was a touchdown. The ball did cross the line before his knee hit the ground. Such a odd call.

I thought it was a touchdown, Great highlights but I thought that was not a good example to make the cut.

I clearly remember that comment by Gruden. He really ripped Jenkins on National TV. Ever since then, I have paid a bit more attention to him down in the trenches.

Edebali, Rankins/Fairley, Davison and Jordan is a solid D line as long as nobody gets hurt

 

[Optimistic Ozzy]

Reminds me of Tony Elliot in his prime.

It was you! You jinxed it!

I'm actually not too bent out of shape about the Rankins injury. If he can come back later we could have a good rotation. Fairley should be fairly effective for a while.

We also have to remember the improvement of Bobby Richardson who's talent allows him the versatility to rush at End and Tackle look for his steady emergence as his PT will go up because of Rankins injury.
