Yea but it's not like our ST was any better with him last year. I think when you weigh the good of bringing him and the bad the good doesn't out weigh the bad.

Maybe Parcells did Jerry a favor, knowing that Killa can sign with whoever he wants and the Cowboys are struggling on special teams.

no i think our ST were slightly above average last year i think some people have made it look like they were worse than they really were. i say average now because i think our ST as a whole at least they appear to have gotten worse as a unit. Killa by himself would make our ST into a respectable unit. When you have a great overall team i think you can afford to keep a player or 2 that have mainly just one purpose on the team. Not like Miami who needs more than a 1 dimensional player for them that have a team that is not very talentedDaBoys4Life;2216021 said:

REPORT: FINS TO CUT KEITH DAVIS
Posted by Mike Florio on August 27, 2008, 8:45 p.m.
Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports that the Dolphins will release safety Keith Davis.
Davis was signed as a free agent earlier this year, one of Bill Parcells’ North-Texas-to-South-Florida Pipeline moves.
Salguero points out that Davis has been performing well on special teams, and that the Fins already are a couple of spots under the current 75-man roster limit. Moreover, Davis was on the list of persons flying to New Orleans for Thursday night’s game against the Saints.
So, apparently, something happened fairly recently to get Davis in the doghouse

Dolphins release safety Keith Davis
The Dolphins have released safety Keith Davis.
This is a curious move for several reasons.
First: Davis has been starting on practically every special team the Dolphins play.
He has, by all accounts, acquitted himself well on those special teams.
So that causes questions.
Secondly: The team is under the 75-man roster limit. It didn't need to release anyone.
So it raises eyebrows that Davis would get released when there was no roster mechanism that required the move.
I am not suggesting the move is caused by outside circumstances but it is curious.
Agent Curtis Stephens spoke to The Herald's Jeff Darlington and doesn't see it as so curious.
"It just didn't work out," said Stephens who represents Davis. "Veteran transactions happen all the time in the NFL. There's really nothing to this story. That's the reality. It just didn't work out."
Davis was listed on the team's flight manifest for Wednesday's trip to New Orleans.
He was even given a room number.
So this is obviously a last second move. The team offered no comment as to why Davis was cut.
Davis was signed as an unrestricted free agent from the Cowboys this offseason.
He was part of the Cowboyfication of the Dolphins that included tight end Anthony Fasano, linebacker Akin Ayodele and others.
During his time with the Cowboys, Davis was shot twice in what appear to be random incidents. He was shot in the head in 2006 when he was driving along a Dallas highway. He drove himself to the hospital and was later released.
In 2003 he was shot in the hip and elbow while picking up a friend at a topless bar.
Bill Parcells then released Davis on the first day of his first training camp with the Cowboys, but the player was eventually re-signed in 2004 and became a starter.
Davis is not on the Broward Sheriff's office arrest search, according Darlington, so he has no issues in that respect.
This release is not so great for Davis, but it benefits Renaldo Hill.
Hill had been playing third team strong safety, to Davis' second-team, since the start of training camp.
But of late Hill had been coming on strong and playing well, even getting an interception during one of the preseason games and earning the praise of coach Tony Sparano for his special teams play.
So Hill looks more likely to make the team now that Davis is gone.
Here are a couple of post from their fan board. Hint: It wasnt drugs people!
What smells about it? He wasn't good enough to beat out his competition. You said it yourself. He is supposed to be a special teams ace, yet he had no special teams tackles in three preseason games. Sounds to me like this is a message to the team that NOBODY is safe, not even ex-Cowboys. You are hyperventilating over nothing, Mando. Oh, and another thought. Maybe they were doing him a favor, too, by letting him go so he can latch on to another team before the season begins.

Acquitted himself well on special teams??!! Do you know how many tackles Davis has on special teams Mando? Try ZERO.... That is another reason he is gone. he was brought in to solidify special teams and he hasn't done it so he is gone. Also, shows that just because you are a so-called Parcells guy, if you don't produce, you will be gone. How refreshing after hearing week after week excuses for everybody form Camoron and Wannstache.... Like him, or not, Parcells cares only about performance and has done an outstanding job assembling lines on both sides of the ball. We are significantly better there but still not where we need to be... Go Bess!!
they are clearing space to sign other players. So they are under the 75 man limit? What does that have to do with releasing someone. I would guess they know he isn't going to make it so why wait? My guess is they are looking to bring in a few players (Manning Jr.?) or some others for a look...
