you dig it up - I know what I have heard from Arizona
He's just too slow and was trying to get a jump on the speed rushers. Thats why he is off sides all the time.
I remember watching him in the combine when he came out and really saying he reminded me a lot like Larry Allen. He gets drafted by Az and they stick him at LT. why? he's def not a LT! Then I read that he played G a couple games and he looked spectacular, but Dennis Green being Dennis Green moves him back to LT and he looks out of place
When the Cards made Davis the second choice of the 2001 draft, he was projected as a franchise tackle who would dominate for the next decade. But then Arizona learned a lesson others should heed: Leonard Davis is a better guard, or right tackle, than he is a left tackle. In fact, one coach I spoke with believes Davis can't play the left side, that he doesn't have the quick feet to handle speed rushers. As evidence he pointed to Davis' rash of false-start penalties. He had nine this season and allowed a career-high eight sacks.
He's petrified of the speed rusher," he said. "He's more of a masher."
When the Cards moved him inside, however, Davis seemed at home. In fact, he excelled. Hey, when they played him at right tackle in 2002 he didn't look all that bad, either, once walling off Michael Strahan. But ex-coach Denny Green never figured that out, moving Davis back to left tackle where the guy teammates call "Big" was overmatched.
