Meh. I am not a massive fan of Davis's vision. He has good burst, he is a decisive runner and he always falls forward, but vision wouldn't be one of his major strengths. 

 

Well, you study it more than I do...I just see a guy who doesn't seem to run into a brick wall.

I agree about the vision, at least as compared to Cook. But he attacks holes with a good burst and some power. He is an effective runner but less of a break-away threat.

Yeah, he's been insanely impressive and a large part of why our Offense has been successful. On one hand, prevailing wisdom is you don't pay for a Running Back. On the other, you don't find that kind of vision, patience, and elusiveness just anywhere. We spent years toiling away with Draft Picks like Devin Singletary and Zack Moss and trying to trade for guys like Nyheim Hines that brought anywhere from nothing to average play. 

 

If he stays healthy and keeps playing the way he has the past year and a half, it's going to be difficult to let him walk after next season.
