Mr. WEO Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 Davis looked good all game. That PI--he was like a cagey NBA veteran drawing a a foul with a kickout on his defender on a jumpshot (even though he initiated contact). Smart move to force the ref to throw the flag. The game was over...

Instead he fought like a goddamned tiger all the way through the route, gave the DB more than he was ready to handle and drew a huuuge penalty that actually changed the W/L column. That killer effort was the only reason the side judge threw that flag (or maybe because he knew he had blown the call on the Kroft non-INT and was subconsciously looking for a place to square it up ; - ) Most young players are not so proactive in big moments like that and would panic and try to alter their route, but the fact that Davis' natural instinct was to fight like hell when it was all on the line bodes very, very well for his future in this league. It's not something you're going to see talked about on highlight shows, on message boards or on radio programs but it is absolutely something that gets noticed in the locker room where it counts. So congrats Gabriel on another great day and for continuing to earn the respect of both your teammates and your opponents (but mostly your teammates, cuz **** your opponents). Keep it up and they'll be throwing love and money at you before you know it. I think you're exactly right. It was an impressive effort. He created the penalty. Playing hard makes all the difference. 1
Chicagobills Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 Really like this kid he looks like a steal in the 4th round!

Yeah, he's a natural ballplayer and obviously a very quick study. I don't know that there's a dime in the NFL that is going to be able to handle him. 1

Very rarely does a 4th round Rookie come in and make big plays this quickly, with such savvy. He seems like a big time steal Spittin' image of Robert Woods, before he went wherever he went... 1

billsfan714 Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 Davis really is showing some great skill and talent.
HappyDays Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 He's quickly getting a reputation as a guy that catches everything thrown his way. We didn't have that guy on the team last year. He made game changing plays in 2 close wins this year. Sky is the limit for him. Admittedly I don't know how consistently he is getting separation and running good routes but it's hard to argue with the results. 1

Keep it up and they'll be throwing love and money at you before you know it. Just to add to this wonderful post - Gabe Davis’ effort can be seen on several plays the past 3 games. Seems like every time Allen is scrambling, Davis keeps working against the DB to get open - that effort is what is earning him targets. Of course it doesn’t hurt that, besides max effort, he does run precise routes and has great hands. Glad Beane drafted him - FWIW, I was against us drafting a WR after getting Diggs.
TigerJ Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 He's playing like a veteran for sure. I don't know if John Brown is going to miss any games with his injury, but the Bills still have three receivers in Diggs Beasley and Davis that would be a considered a threesome for most teams.

BillsfaninSB Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 (edited) Amazing what the Bills did. Deferred their 1st rd pick for a rookie WR and got Diggs. Great move. But then they go get Davis in the 4th round. They got their cake and ate it too. Edited September 28, 2020 by BillsfaninSB 1 1 1
