Improve to what, pray tell? what should your ideal NT weigh at his heigjt? The issue is fitness, not weight. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was reportedly constantly fined for being overweight last year. It’s both. You’re also taking this way too seriously. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t all men? lol All I heard was he shed fat because he stopped drinking Arizona iced tea everyday. Im sure it’s not as simple as that though. I don’t even know why the #1 overused offseason statement is even getting this much conversation. It’s basically the same thing we heard last year re-worded 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re also taking this way too seriously. There’s a whole lot of sloppy narrative that gets turned into received knowledge.. Davis’s weight has taken on that life. It’s all based on ignorance. Do I know better? No, but neither does anyone else in here. I was around last year too and I challenge "constantly.” And "reportedly constantly” doubly so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s basically the same thing we heard last year re-worded I don't understand how people treat Jordan Davis like some bust. He showed a lot of flashes last year with impact plays and put forth what I considered a big improvement on his rookie year. I think that only continues heading into his 3rd year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I understand the skepticism. I also remember him being talked up as being "in much better shape” last training camp. I guess we will see…. I do not consider him a bust. But neither do I want his career to be ultimately described as "not a bust”. We all want him to reach his ceiling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time hasn't run out, but it's OK to just call him bad so far. Hell, even Mcdougle sent Eli into another dimension at this point in his career.

That particular play showed good effort and hustle, but wasn't a "highlight." But I appreciate the exaggeration effort you put forth in claiming he didn't make any other plays. But here's a few good plays from just week 1 last year: 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not a bust…. I’m not ready to call him a bust but has he really shown he’s that much more impactful than Linval Joseph or Bennie Logan? My question isn’t his ability, more so the decision to use a first round pick on a guy to eat up blocks on run downs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My question isn’t his ability, more so the decision to use a first round pick on a guy to eat up blocks on run downs. It was just a quick thing put together. I'm not going to sort through a full season of game film and all-22 film to show you all the plays you never noticed before just for the sake of an EMB argument. All I needed was a few plays to point out the exaggeration I exposed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s basically the same thing we heard last year re-worded I suspect the chaos of that season's progression to crap meant Davis went back to some bad food/drink habits from days of yore. A new DL coach with a more persistently aggressive mindset could help, as could Davis being in a position to set the tone as a leader. He absolutely needs to keep his weight and conditioning in check, and I think this coaching staff being a lot more experienced, won't allow things to slide. 12 hours ago, Alphagrand said: Jets fans were cheated last season; they didn’t get to watch Rodgers come up small in the clutch then throw his head coach under the bus They were. I just like Mike Florio getting passive aggressive about "sources" or misrepresenting stuff and local journos calling him out on it. Florio is overly sensitive to corrections....
