He's not a power back like LJ or Moa, nor is he fast enough to be an every-down speed back, probably

SinkingQuffa Intervention Needed

but we don't have really any big play makers in the slot right now, nor do we have anyone who's demonstrated his level of elusiveness on short-yard running plays & dumps.

We very much need that guy RIGHT now.

With the emergence of Moa and Ropati returning, I'm hoping that Davis still gets

I like Davis, but he can’t break tackles.

he's riley burt 2.0 - he can run fast in a straight line and nothing else.

or ankles.

Give the reps to Haunga. He was a WR in high school too.

He’s gonna get redshirted. Would be surprised to see him the rest of the year

That'd be so stupid. We badly need a quality scat back AND slot receiver. Epps just isn't getting back to what he was.

He has touched the ball 7 times. 5 rush 2 catches it’s a little early to say he

I have a feeling with Ropati back and Martin possibly coming back for Arizona

How is Davis a decoy? You are basically telling the defense that we cannot run

BYUheaven

Sep 25, 10:10am

I'm looking at it like 3rd & medium to 3rd and long. Maybe the defense protects

BYUfannonLDS

Sep 25, 10:26am

yeah, I guess if I am a defensive coordinator and it is third and long and Miles

BYUheaven

Sep 25, 10:30am

Maybe not but maybe that's the situation where if the D doesn't adjust

BYUfannonLDS

I think we'd all like to see more of him — but he's gotta earn it in practice. Haunga's the difference-maker

SinkingQuffa

LJ and Moa mostly. Sprinkling in Ropati, Haunga, and Davis as needed.

You are forgetting Enoch Nawahine. Here's my list:

Hawk Talons

As an every-down back, probably. But Davis's speed does give him an edge possibly as a 3rd-down specialist.

SinkingQuffa

Davis basically didn't return after missing a blocking assignment against KSU.

rcbyufan

Sep 25, 10:20am

Missed that. That could be. Blocking is definitely big in the pecking order right now.

SinkingQuffa

Sep 25, 10:21am

I've seen enough of Davis. I want Sione I Moa and Haunga. I like them both

Hawk Talons

Sep 25, 10:12am

Same. Our run game suffered with Davis and Ropati, even against bad teams.

ldssdl

Based on what I've seen, Davis probably dropped to #5 on the depth chart.

Thrill

Sep 25, 10:13am

I put him at #6

Hawk Talons

Sep 25, 10:16am

I think he should play occasionally. His run against SMU won us the game.

Dangerous

Sep 25, 10:16am

That was more about blocking and the QB, although Davis is very fast.

Belboz

Sep 25, 10:29am

Yep. And nobody should forget that. Great kid. Does it the right way

rcbyufan

Sep 25, 10:34am

WR or special teams would be best for him

RWaters

Sep 25, 10:17am

Moa was good as a 3rd down back taking a handoff on 3rd and 10.

Belboz

Sep 25, 10:28am

The depth chart should be as follows:

I wanted Davis to materialize, but I think it’s clear he ain’t the guy
