Kellen Davis

[seabowl]

I think if we would have lost yesterday Kellen Davis would have been a topic of discussion today. When we signed him I read that many Bears fans thought he was terrible and after yesterday's penalty spree by him I am thinking we may need to find someone else. Also I really want the team to try and get Luke Wilson more involved. It seemed that Miller was our only TE option in the passing game and he was used lightly.

Gotta agree. I think the handling of the TE spot this preseason is one spot where the FO flubbed it a bit. You can't tell me that Sean McGrath wouldn't be performing better for us than Kellen Davis is.

McGrath had a huge day yesterday.

 

[dontbelikethat]

McGrath > Davis and many others that made the team, but honestly, I doubt he would have much impact for us. He's only had a chance in KC because (two?) of their TE's that are out.

 

[TwilightError]

He has had two catches and how many penalties? It does not look good for him.

 

[SouthSoundHawk]

DRAFT FOCUS!

This and offensive line.

 

[King Dog]

I was going to make a thread about him last night but didn't want to pee in everyone's Cheerios.

This guy needs to pull his head out or he's gone. He may already be on his way out this week.

 

[Sturm]

I still don't get why they waived McGrath.

Me neither.

Send Davis out for Donuts this morning and while he's gone change the locks and burn his play book.

How good would Austin Safarian-Jenkins look in a Hawks uniform next year?

 

[IBleedBlueAndGreen]

I will be very very surprised if he is still on this roster by Thursday.

Yeah that was one of the moves I think has come back to bite them. They over-thought that one.

Because he's not a NFL caliber TE...at least that's what one .Net poster said.

I didn't understand why we released him either.

 

[dbsn2420]

I liked McGrath as well and didn't understand the release. I suspect Davis has shown something, some skill that they like that perhaps we haven't seen yet. Remember Mckoy's stone hands a couple years ago, a lot of folks were saying cut him loose. He managed to make the corrections and had a pretty decent year last season. Lets just hope Davis learns from these mistakes and takes a step forward.

They got too cute with the whole Mike Person experiment. Cutting McGrath was a poor personnel decision. There's no other way to slice it.

At the end of the day, you're talking about a #3 TE, though, so whatever. They must like something about Davis since he gets on the field. He's already been more visible than Evan Moore ever was last year.

Really? I think in the long run he was mostly a non-factor. The OC play calling had more of a factor on the ineffectiveness of the offense than Davis' mistakes. Tho I will say they should have kept McGrath. But can't do anything about it now.

 

[Missing_Clink]

McGrath has been doing great in KC. Terrible decision to waive him. Even this front office blows it from time to time. Most Bears fans I heard from said that the issue with Davis is the dropsies. So far we have seen a case of the penalties.

Maybe if height is a skill.

Yep I bet it was something like that, tried to get too cute. The McGrath thing bothered me at the time and yesterday when I see Davis melting down then look at the scroll to see McGrath 5 rec for 64 yards and a td, knowing that he is a good blocker. Anybody that has half a brain and pays attention to Seahawk football was very comfortable with Sean McGrath as our 3rd TE. The cut to 53 really tough and in Pete and John I trust but I wonder if you were to ask them today if they would rather have Davis or McGrath what would they say.

This would be the guy I think goes to make space for Irvin unless he has some crazy upside or Miller's panzer fishyeyes is getting worse.
