Todays situation with Davis had me thinking o Herbert James.

remember him? Wore 26 back in the late 80's, started in 91 on the title team

But I remember James being a real physical hard-hitting guy, really good and willing special teams player. But had to wait essentially his whole career to really get a crack at full-time PT at corner. And did it willingly, was a willing role player, understood the type of talent that was in front of him( like Bennie and the Jets, and then Ryan McNeil, Roland Smith and Kenny Berry) but stuck it out. Was a part of championship squads.

Much the same way Robert Bailey did during his tenure at UM.

That's when there was a certain toughness and culture to this program

For all the great, future Hall of Famers we've seen at Coral Gables, it reminds me that we should also really appreciate guys like Herbert James and the like. They are the coal-shovelers that Golden speaks off

I hope Davis reads this one day when he's shoveling **** for a living.
