Davis ready for more big plays
With Roy Williams returning to practice last week, Keith Davis knows his time as Dallas' starting strong safety is limited.
But if the Sam Houston State alum continues to play like he did last week in the 31-22 victory over Cincinnati, doesn't coach Wade Phillips need to find a way to get him more time on defense?
"I thought (Davis) played well," Phillips said last week. "I knew he would. He played for us last year and (started) the Carolina game (December 22) and we won that game and he played well. He came in and did the same thing."
Davis earned a 90 percent grade for his play against the Bengals, the highlight of which was his break up on a 2-point conversion pass after the Bengals pulled within 24-22 with 7:45 left.
Davis got the start in place of Pat Watkins, who was sidelined with a neck injury. Watkins had replaced Williams in the starting lineup after Williams fractured his right forearm in Week 2 against Philadelphia.
"Who knows what's going to happen from here, but I enjoyed myself," Davis said. "I’m going to work hard and if they need me to play back there, I’m going to do my job."
