[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 760624, member: 12283"] If the numbers aren't some fluke, I would say that Davis is good enough that they don't need to rank PR skills too highly in any WR they target. Here are his punt returns individually: [LIST=1] [*]Wk 1, SEA: [LIST=1] [*]0 yd return [*]0 yd return [/LIST] [*]Wk 2, ATL: No returns [*]Wk 3, CIN: [LIST=1] [*]33 yd return [*]10 yd return* [*]8 yd return [*]10 yd return [*]9 yd return [/LIST] [*]Wk 4, CHI: [LIST=1] [*]16 yd return* [/LIST] [*]Wk 5, DAL: No returns [*]Wk 6, MIN: [LIST=1] [*]8 yds* [/LIST] [*]Wk 7, NO: No returns [*]Wk 9, DET: No returns [*]Wk 10, CHI: [LIST=1] [*]9 yd return [*]44 yd return* [*]6 yd return* [*]12 yd return [/LIST] [*]Wk 11, BAL: [LIST=1] [*]9 yd return [/LIST] [*]Wk 12, PIT: No returns [*]Wk 13, TB: [LIST=1] [*]2 yd return [/LIST] [*]Wk 14, CLE: [LIST=1] [*]-2 yd return [*]65 yd return [/LIST] [*]Wk 15, CAR [LIST=1] [*]2 yd return* [/LIST] [*]Wk 16, MIN [LIST=1] [*]5 yd return [*]12 yd return [*]12 yd return [/LIST] [*]Wk 17, DET [LIST=1] [*]18 yd return [*]28 yd return [/LIST] [/LIST] *Penalty on the play I combed through the game logs for these 23 returns. I'm one short somehow, but oh well. 11 of the returns were 10+ yards, which is an obvious positive. 5 more were in that 8-9 yd range. So it isn't as though Davis' numbers lived on the bigger returns. There was some consistency. If I recall correctly, his issues seemed to be more in the decision making department. Around the GL, he made some questionable calls as far as fair catching vs. letting the ball go. And I remember him fair catching at times when he had room to run. But when he actually has the ball in his hands (and he never did muff), he's quite capable. He only returned a total of 14 punts in college, so this is a relatively new skillset he's developing. Given the results, I'd be inclined to give him a shot at the job again and see if he can develop some better decision making skills as he gets more comfortable. [/QUOTE]
