How would you characterize a RB who is averaging less than 3 YPC, if you
remove their one long run, and typically goes down at first contact?
The OP stated he had been overlooked. I think most are saying that's not true. He just isn't that good.

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

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

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)

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.
