Cowboys officially announced the Keith Davis signing today. Davis, who played five years with Dallas before leaving for Miami, signed a one-year contract.

Davis brings a swagger to special teams and could play in the season opener at Cleveland on Sunday.

So basically we have one year more with him on Specials, and this year also gives him the chance to show he can easily handle Roy Williams' backup SS duties as solely a run-stopper. Rmember, Keith Davis was good against the run but not so much the pass, much like Roy Williams. And if he shows he can play in that limited backup-SS role, then Dallas can sign Davis long-term after the season - granting Davis' wish to play Safety - and ship off Roy Williams once and for all.

Bro, it is too early in the day and wayyyy too early in the season for agendas.

Lets just see how both guys perform this year.
I am fairly certain if anyone in the organization felt KD could replace RW he would have by now and saved Jerry millions of dollars.

somewhere else in the forum is an interview with Wade Phillips and he said that KD will play on Sundy against Cleveland.

Q: Do you fully implement Keith Davis this week?

Yeah, Keith is back with us and working mainly with all our special teams. He's a core special teams player, he's on most of the units, familiar with our calls on the punt team. He's the personal protector, that's what he played last year. He's gone back in there and feels comfortable playing that and we feel comfortable with him there. Of course, kickoff coverage, our coverage teams, he's a big plus. He's gone back in and is ready to go.

Ok he didn'T say exactly that he is going to play on sunday but i think the question implies that and he answers it with yes.

 

[jobberone]

If Davis can't play STs this week then they screwed up badly.

 

[Seven]

No reason for him not to play. He's been practicing all TC with the fins. If he ain't out there I'll be dumbfounded.

 

[bbgun]

He better be good, 'cause he's not helping us anywhere else on the field.

 

[Hostile]

I agree. He never really has. He has zero interceptions in his NFL career that spans 6 seasons and only 3 career forced fumbles. He's not a great tackler by any wild stretch. On Special Teams he can contribute, but he'd really better excel. Otherwise this move was a yawner.

Let me put it this way. On Special Teams he has never been a Kenny Gant, Bill Bates, or Jim Schwantz. He better be now.

 

[CrazyCowboy]

Yes.....he has signed with us!

It is really funny in one sentence you bash Roy and in the next want Davis as your starting SS.

Worse against the run and against the pass than Williams - vs the run by far and a pretty good stretch vs the pass.

That would really weaken the team!

He better play like a man possessed on ST
