Ray Davis - What am I missing?

Full disclosure - I didn't like the Ray Davis pick. However, he's a Bill now so that means I am going to root that he is the second coming of Thurman Thomas.

 

I saw a lot of love for the kid in preseason. Even some rumbling that if he could push Cook for the #1 job.

 

Now at the quarter mark of the season, I'm wondering what is going on.

 

Ray Davis' stats. 26 for 75 and 1 TD. Y/A is 2.9. 3 catches for 14 yards.

 

To my eye, it feels like whenever he is in the game, the defense is keying into the run. They are usually right, and it's almost always 2nd and medium that ends with 3rd and medium.

 

So how do the Bills get Davis going?

 

 

After the Jets game do you need anything else ??

Fantastic Ray Davis profile running on CBS where I live (Colorado). Look for it!

We overdo the stuff about inspirational stories and overcoming adversity.

But this one is real. Amazing young man, and I feel fortunate that he's on our team.

Just watched the whole thing with my dad. His story is so crazy. Talk about being mentally and physically tough. Glad he and his dad built their relationship up and for all the accomplishments he’s earned. He’s special and we are lucky to have him on the team.

 

 

…and how about that TD today? Gotta love it.

A big, bold statement by the OP and not another word since.

 

That’s chicken ***** posting.

Why not? You can’t make that statement and not come And eat some crow. A simple, “I was wrong and I’m happy about that” would suffice.

 

He didn’t make a statement in someone elses thread. He MADE the thread and hasn’t said a word since.

Maybe he's busy eating a salad or doing his taxes.

Dude is better than cook.  Not that cook is bad by any sense.  But he catches the ball as opposed to dropping it in big moments.  He also carries it well, cook has had fumble problems in the past. They are both great runners

I said it before, I'll say it again: Davis has shown enough that I trust him more as the primary back. I want to see more of Cook as a Kamara or CMC

What was I wrong about? That the Bills needed to get Davis going better? They did.

 

That he had an unimpressive first Q of the season?

 

he did. 
 

he’s played better and made good plays. This is obvious to everyone but I guess you need to hear it from me for some reason lol.

We all have been guilty of crap posting at one time or another, but I’m most upset with the folks who flip flop after every game. If the Bills lose, folks want to drive every player and coach out of town. If we win, the wine is flowing. I wish people would focus on the long play more..

You're saying the love for him in the pre-season and that he could push Cook for the #1 spot was wrong and used stats from just a quarter of the season.

You were right then and used it.  Now you're wrong.  You metamorphed.

Darrin Lee is going to be a linebacker who will last a long time in this league with his hybrid versatility. I promise! Just needs more time.

I couldn’t use stats from games that hadn’t played yet.

Kinda amazing considering we win more than any team in major pro sports other than Kansas City since 2019.

 

Some people are just clueless as to how good and dominant we have been. A normal Bills game over the course of the last 4.5 years has been the Bills winning by 10 points.

He's a 3 down player in the Ohio Penal League.

You are missing a lot. If you don't see it by now, unsure how to help you 

 

Perhaps get some thicker glasses?
