Miles Davis FTW

I hoped so going into last week, but he did not look good against Wyoming

He started and averaged 1.5 YPC. He has bad field vision and almost

Odd thing abt Miles: he runs w a higher center of gravity. Given that his real

I think his background as a receiver is why he goes down easier.

I mean, Puka and Deebo are two of MANY WRs who don't go down easy

Well, I didn't say great receiver, but ya, many are not built with that motor.

I get it but even in our existing WR ranks we have multiple guys who frequently

he's just not it. we've seen him for 4 years and he's never shown an ability to be the guy

I think Miles starts Saturday, but I would like him to split time with Haunga.

I guarantee he will not

thx - fixed

Miles might be the most explosive back we got. But what's explosion if the fuse ain't lit fast enough?

ARod needs better packages for Davis. Quick passes/screens/options

You can only run so many of those misdirection plays that get him in the clear (& can't associate them too much w Davis)

SinkingQuffa

Sep 19, 12:38pm

Agree you can only do so much. This probably means we shouldn't play him much.

I do hope they tasked him a bit this week in trying to be an every-down back for us.

SinkingQuffa

Exactly. It's not rocket science to see.

Davis is great as an outside option or screen pass. He is not a hit the hole runner. Goes down on first contact

He's a converted WR and plays like it

MaximusMeridius

Sep 19, 12:59pm

And he was more of an all-purpose skill player/athlete than he was a WR, even.

SinkingQuffa

Haunga played WR in HS and he looks like our #2 back right now

Projectoor

Sep 19, 1:41pm

Haunga was more than a WR in HS. He was an offensive everything.

SinkingQuffa

Sep 19, 2:40pm

True, but point still stands

Projectoor

Sep 19, 2:46pm

He is good in open space, but terrible between the tackles

We get a positive post about Miles Davis and it quickly turns into posts about

Well there are stats to back up the negativity.

Somewhere in the negatives & positives isn't there an overarching concern for the team's ability to perform on Saturday?

It’s ok to be objective based on stats. It’s ok not to pretend he’s great.

How would you characterize a RB who is averaging less than 3 YPC, if you

You make the mistake of conflating being hit on the line of scrimmage by

I haven’t seen any stats that prove he’s good blocker. Where are you looking?

He has the ability to make some plays against K-State.
