I give that a qualified agree. From what he showed in preseason, he wasn't quite as tough between the tackles as one would have expected. Then again, he played mostly behind the second string line. He's quick and has some instincts. I would have preferred Burks over trading for Davis, if that counts for anything.Good move
Only if necessity requires his elevation to the 53 man roster, and then the game day active roster, and then actually taking some snaps.Yet another low-risk move by TT. I guess that we'll see at the end of the season if it was a good move or not.

That's about all I can say. He's better than Davis.I give that a qualified agree. From what he showed in preseason, he wasn't quite as tough between the tackles as one would have expected.

Knile Davis was on the college team that I'm a big fan of. He's the worst RB I've ever seen. He's averaged in the low 3 YPC in the college and pros on teams in which UDFAs and low draft picks have had much more success. I don't think it's that much of a reach to make the claim that he's better, even if it's just based on the fact that Davis is awful.Burks doesn't have a single carry in a meaningful game in his career, therefore I think that's a bold statement to make.

He averaged 3.4 YPC his final year at Arkansas and was benched halfway through the season. He was only good when he had the offensive guru Bobby Perino as his head coach.Davis averaged 5.3 yards per carry during his college career with the Razorbacks.
Don't have a dog in this fight, but it once again brings up stats as an evaluation statement. A quick search gives at least two career YPC, WIMM's 5.3 and another at 5.0 (lower total in 2010).
I first started questioning published stats when AJ Hawk became the all-time leading tackler for the Pack. I don't remember now, as it's been a while, but (again, with little effort) I found at least three numbers for his career tackles with the Pack.
I have always wondered why anyone would care about counting tackles without context. If we were counting tackles for a loss or minimal to no gain... fine. But, as was often the case with Hawk, we give him credit for making a tackle 8 or more yards down field.... I do not see anything to brag about.The NFL doesn't consider tackles an official stat therefore those numbers should be taken with a grain of salt.
