Class Impact: Thomas Davis to Miami

[grover]

I think he's DE all the way. Although Manny and Baker have been playing with using a DE/OLB hybrid and calling it the "viper" position.

At the very least this kid is a situational pass rusher and you can never have too many guys who can get after the quarterback.

Viper is what I was thinking for him, assuming his back-pedal and hips aren't a liability there, that could be a way to keep him on the field more and make it harder for the OCs to play-call or the QBs to audible based on his presence..

I still remember how Golden totally misused McCord, only put him in to rush. Everyone knew exactly what was coming. Set the kid up to fail.

He is going to also be a beast on punt and kick coverage from day 1

Rotational player my ***. He is big time. Agre we have a lot of talent but this guy is a beast. He will be a starter come junior year when the NFL will be watching

I see a LB but an ultra athletic Trent Harris is not a bad thing

Mr. Davis is an exceptional talent, in my opinion. Don’t sleep on him. His fast twitch and speed, along with his plethora of moves and use of hands, to go along with a great motor and work ethic are a recipe for big time success.

Another thing that is overlooked, is the leverage that he will have on much taller offensive tackles, since he’s built lower to the ground. Kid is gonna be a problem for opposing OL.

Harris plays on Sundays. We should be so lucky with our "3-stars".

Not luck, it's an U thing. UF and FSU sent busts to the NFL while we produce the best results despite their rankings.

McCord is actually one of the few guys who I thought Golden and D’No DIDN’T misuse (other than insufficient snaps)

Unfortunately the Dolphins just cut him. He did have a nice little run with the team last season though.

 

[dukebeeasy305]

This kid plays like a cane finds the football, explosive, and violent.. wouldn't surprise me if he could play LB too

There it is. Perfect move for Davis. He'll end up lining up all over the place for us. Great chess piece.

 

[DB4]

In 2-3 seasons, Miami's defense is gonna be 2 linemen, 2 corners, and 7 athletes lol

 

[Coach Macho]

We are forming an extremely athletic defense.

 

[RattlerCane305]

Davis, Troutman and T. Johnson is a helluva LB haul. If Chase enters the fold, that's icing on an already impressive cake. 3 underrated guys full of **** & vinegar who run and strike very well. Davis should be a guy who can produce video game sack numbers from the Mike spot. Can you imagine a RB tryna block him 1 on 1 on an A-Gap blitz???

100% truth. You just gotta be excited about what's being put together at all 3 levels.

 

[Ashevegas Cane]

Not sure if we have some posters in S. Georgia who can expound upon this kids move to MLB but would appreciate the input. His build and force remind me of Perryman, not his play yet but hopeful for it.

Something we have missed the last few seasons.

 

[Caneofcanes]

I HAD HIM PENCILED AT OLB, BUT I KNEW LB WOULD BE SOMEWHERE. HE COULD REALLY THRIVE. HIS SPEED AND ATHLETICISM JUST FITS THE LB’ER MOLD. HE HAS SPEED TO GO SIDELINE TO SIDELINE, PLAYS TE AND RUNS TRACK. RUNS IN 10.9-11.SOMETHING RANGE. GET THAT GOING DOWN HILL WITH THE PROPER INSTINCTS. SOUNDS LIKE A FUTURE FIRST ROUNDER TO ME.
