It's not about "see what he can do!". That's bullshit.
Davis has shown the past few weeks that he has a firm grasp of the offense and he's done well in limited touches. My opinion is that he needs to see about 10 touches the next few games in order to give Charles a break.
He's a big dude with 4.3 speed with good vision. He can help the team. |
What? Now you're just arguing with me for the hell of it.
That may be the biggest issue with most running backs, but with Knile's previous history, and even some drops/muffs/fumbles he's had this season in limited touches, his issue is moreso ball security. Alex rarely, if ever, calls audibles at the line so that isn't much of a factor.
He's averaging 2.4 touches per game this season. It's absolutely about seeing what the kid can do.
