TEICHER actually had the balls to write this!
 
Its' about time he grew some!

By ADAM TEICHER The Kansas City Star

So rookie running back Knile Davis, dropped a couple of easy passes yesterday at Chiefs practice, one of which was a screen pass that he would have taken for a long gain. So he’s dropped a number of other passes during offseason practice.

So what, right? It’s June, right? What does it matter, right?

Here’s why this should matter to the Chiefs: Davis is going to play a lot, the Chiefs are going to throw the ball to their backs a lot and they need Davis to be one of their big-play guys. For all of their offseason moves, the Chiefs still look short on offensive playmakers. They have Jamaal Charles, who don’t forget has an occasional fumbling problem of his own. They have Dwayne Bowe, who occasionally has a pass-dropping problem of his own.

After that, there’s some wishful thinking going on. Travis Kelce has shown some promise in offseason practice, but let’s wait on judgment there until he goes through the grind of the season. Donnie Avery has been injured since practice started. And I’ll believe that Jon Baldwin and Dexter McCluster are big-play guys when they actually start to make them.

So Davis, who is big and fast, looms as a key figure to them. And if he can’t catch the ball or learn to do it, scratch another potential big-play guy off the list, at least in the passing game.

Should be mildly amusing. When the guy speaks well of the team, everyone bags on em and says who the **** cares? Stop writing fluff pieces!

So now that he throws in some negativity... what we got? Overcompensation?

How did Bowe get this stigma of having a drop issue?

Dayze 06-07-2013 07:57 AM

because he's been up there with Calvin Johnson before in drops....wait....
CJ is ok. Bowe sucks because he drops nearly the same amount.

Long while back, but IIRC, Bowe got the reputation early on. He had some lasik surgery to help correct the issue. :hmmm:

It's all bullshit. He doesn't drop any more than other WRs of his caliber.

Just nonsense from dumbass Chiefs fans who don't like that he points at his name plate when he spikes the ball after TDs.

Hearing Avery will never play. Great pick up by Dorsey there. 28 year old constantly injured WR.

Messier 06-07-2013 08:15 AM

I hate OTA and training camp reports, positive or negative. They mean next to nothing. So, we're supposed to worry, or get excited based on these reports. Every year, there are reports about someone looking incredible (Jon Baldwin) only to flame out once the season starts. I refuse to extrapolate success or failure based on a, oops, he had a bad day, reports. I'll wait until games against other teams to judge what someone is or can be.

Ace Gunner 06-07-2013 08:19 AM

this report confirms Knile Davis is Alex Smith's illegitimate baby.

crossbow 06-07-2013 08:35 AM

Aha! I suspected Nile Davis was the product of an Alien abduction. The proof comes out now.

It's not the volume of drops that sticks in peoples minds. It's the timing.

A lot of his drops have come in crucial situations that changed the outcome of games.

A HAS is one of the worst injuries for a guy like Avery. It "heals" in 2-3 weeks, but a lot of the time it lingers for months and limits a players burst, acceleration and ability to maintain speed in and out of cuts.

They are being smart about it so he can be 100% for camp.

His injury history and general lack of production in his career are terrible signs and it seems that fans and the Chiefs are trying to oversell what he is.

Same recycled cast off the Chiefs are trying project as a weapon. Giving him 3 years was a mistake.

This x100. I remember at least two games we lost directly as a result of him dropping an easy catch. Numerous other gaffes by him where he pulls up cause he doesn't want to take a hit over the middle. Going to continue to root for him though as I always have.

ptlyon 06-07-2013 10:39 AM

That would be awesome if they introduced players with a song in the background. "Life by the Drop" would be his if I ran the Telefunken

I'm not a fan of Avery either, but he'll play for this team this year. hi ankle might take a few months, it is possible the chiefs cut him and sign somebody that comes available later though.

I think this group of WR's is good enough to make it work because Smith is accurate often enough and really, if for nothing else other than YAC, this offense is a possession oriented pass style and having these big tall WR's is a fit for it.

I expect Bowe to really beast it this season. His speed/breaks/routes were very improved last season once he got going. Bowe is going to blow up this season.

The rest of these wideouts are anyone's guess. WR is a position where players can come from nowhere and light it up, don't look back -- see Victor Cruz. And, there are good WR's that take years before they really all the sudden turn it on, see Jerry Rice.

I agree with Adam T re Davis' ball handling skills and I agree this looks like a risky move having Davis paired like this, but it is early and the other RB's are running the exact same plays with 2's/3's.

Frankly I expect Jamaal to take most duties this season. One way to handle this would be to use Jamaal the first half season and then maybe they get these other backs going by then, so sit Jamaal as much as possible to freshen him until something big comes along.

Exactly, because getting explosive playmakers the ball in space is frowned upon. When your best play maker is your running back, you definitely shouldn't throw it to him in space. How stupid of andy reid. Throw it down field every play to Baldwin. Much more sense. God, people are so ****ing dense. Like tom brady doesn't throw 400 short, and screen passes every year. Jesus ****ing Christ.

Constantly injured. But IIRC didn't miss a game last year and was an integral part of the colts passing game last year. and, his first year in the league. He played 15 games, his second 16 games, his third, he played in 8 before playing in 16 last season. Yeah, really injury prone that guy is. All it takes, is a little bit of research to clarify things......Google is your friend.

Bowe's good, but he's not great. Why the Chiefs never go after guys like Welker and Amendola I'll never know. They would really help a guy like Bowe. Clock is ticking on Charles. I think this team is missing once again with Avery for 3 years.

Mr. Laz 06-07-2013 11:58 AM

Bowe needs to be paired with a legit speed guy so he can be the big bodied possession guy.

Google is also your friend that can tell you when Avery does actually play and is healthy, he has one of the highest drop percentages in the NFL.

So even when he plays he sucks. They will or should cut him after TC and just give the 2 spot to Baldwin or some UDFA and hope for the best.

Fact: Welker was shit outside the NE system.
