Last night I popped in the Arizona game from last year, and the 2003 Cowboy vs Arizona game. Just wanted to take a close peek at Leonard Davis.
Let me start off by saying I wanted to sign Davis, and wanted the big huge force on this O-Line.
After watching these games I sure hope Jerry and our Cowboys know what they are doing.
Davis was at Guard in the 2003 game. An important note is he had just come off from missing 2 games with an ankle injury. Maybe he was still hurt and rusty, but he was awful. Glover literally abused Davis. Davis was on his heels all game, looked like he did not know who to block, and when he did was often to late to get into position. I sure hope it was because of that ankle.
The game last year at LT he actually looked much better. He clearly dominated if he got his hands on you. He clearly knew who to block. In the running game he was very effective. In pass protection he was a stone wall if he got into position. A couple of times he had trouble with Ware coming around the edge, but who doesnt. He easily handled Canty and Hatcher.
He did do 3 cut blocks that where kinda ugly, and I do not know why he was doing that, except one was a very quick pass.
After looking at this I am thinking he may be suited best for RT, but it is just 2games. Overall I am confused about this signing. You can definetly see the promise in Davis, but I am not sure what exactly we are going to get.
I originally wanted him at Guard, now I am thinking put him at RT and draft a Guard like Grubbs, Sears or Blaylock. Maybe it was his ankle, but he just looked lost at Guard in the 2003 game.
