ESPN Mosley: Parcells asked KD to drop his pants after 1st shooting

South Florida Cowboys strike again

March 12, 2008 10:38 AM


In case you missed it, former Cowboys strong safety Keith Davis agreed to a two-year, $3.5 million contract with the Dolphins on Tuesday. Davis has been one of Bill Parcells' favorite players since he re-joined the Cowboys in 2004 after a shooting incident interrupted his career.

On the eve of the 2003 training camp in San Antonio, Parcells released Davis after finding out that he'd been shot in the parking lot of a Dallas strip club. After earning defensive player of the year honors in NFL Europe, Davis was welcomed back in 2004. In one of the team's first meetings during training camp that year, Parcells asked Davis to drop his pants and display the bullet wound on his rear to let players know the consequences of hanging out at the wrong places. :laugh2:

It didn't take Davis long to become the team's best special-teams player. Parcells told him he could be one of the best special-teamers he'd ever coached (Dave Meggett, Reyna Thompson), but Davis always saw himself as a position player first. He started 15 games at safety in 2005, but it made him less effective on special teams.

The Dolphins will offer Davis an opportunity to compete for the starting strong safety spot, but the main reason he's being brought in is to help transform an awful special-teams unit.

After getting shot a second time he probably doesn't have to drop his pants anymore. Just another benefit to getting shot a second time.

Had him drop them after the first shooting?

That would have been a mess.

I would have told Parcells to drop his pants and let everyone see the consequences of being overweight and out of shape.Of course I would have been bagging groceries for his fat butt the next day. Paper or plastic Mr.Parcells?

If that doesn't get you to push away from the table nothing will.

Coach, please don't raise the iron above my hand, there is a good chance you will get a stroke and if you do I don't get paid enough to perform a CPR.

Maybe Shockey was right when he questioned his sexuality.
