I certainly don't mean to celebrate a person's injury at all. I hope he heals up.
But, it's no coincidence how much better we have been against the run these last 2 games. I've watched Davison get pushed 2-5 yards backwards his entire career, and it was a big part of our week 1 loss. Both Stallworth and Bromley have looked better than him. The key: they don't move backwards. They dont get huge push or have a fierce pass rush, but they don't get moved backwards and it opens the lanes for the LBs and let's them actually shoot gaps.
This is equivalent to when we took Harris out of the lineup after week 2 last year and instantly got better against the pass. It was addition by subtraction. So is this situation.
I bring this up because he is supposed to be back from injury this week, and I'm afraid that he will come back and start. Based on these last 2 games, he has lost his spot on the depth chart. We are better with these other 2 guys playing the run. They aren't stars, but they arent huge liabilities, either
