"Was Knile Davis Booted too soon?"

That's a good question. I would have liked to have seen what Davis could have done once he learned the offense.

I do like what I have seen from Jackson. He runs with power and speed. I would like to see him get more opportunities.

Depends on what it took for the 7th round pick to kick in. Given his unexpected release I would say not giving up a pick for a guy they where "meh" on is understandable.

My follow up question is, What position do the Packers add to the 53?

Do they activate Linsley to the 53? (my most likely scenario)

The only players on the PS that I would think they would bring up to the 53 would be Reggie Gilbert or Carl Bradford, just based on them being with the team the longest.

Do they bring someone in from the street and if so what positions?

You all KNOW that Knile was booted because TT didn't want to pay the 7th round pick unless he absolutely had to.

TT the draft pick *****.... haha

Side note: I too wonder what is going to be done at RB. Something has to be done. WE have NO ONE

Come on, we all knew that TT was going to keep him around a couple weeks for insurance and then jettison him before the compensation kicked in. TT could never part with one of his draft picks, even a 7th rounder.

When Davis couldn't, in the face of some experience and repeated injuries to the knees of Jamaal Charles, hold off Spencer Ware and Charcandrick West for the backup slot in KC, it tells you something. The Packers gave him a minimal 'test drive' but there needs to be a solution on the horizon. Monty and Starks aren't givens for next week against Indy, and they're going to want to be able to attack that Colts defense on the ground.

Earlier on in his career, TT hung onto projects and ended up with a bunch of average guys who would not factor in to the success of the team. There is a little more urgency to our player development that I like. Maybe the coaches saw poor practice habits, poor decision making, lack of mental capacity, whatever and pulled the plug rather than taking on a project. After all, he was 4th on the KC depth chart. No point in adding more average guys, particularly to the skill positions.

I like the way that TT kept a whack of UDFA after this camp. Sticking with guys who are practice squad or special teams only caliber doesn't guarantee you anything anymore. We saw that with Jarrett Bush and now Chris Banjo. Just wondering how Carl Bradford, Don Barclay and Demtri Goodson are still in the picture.

Sometimes you find a fit and sometimes you don't. Davis didn't fit - next.

Personally, Knile Davis never had a chance to learn the offense or really showcase any of his abilities. Can you imagine a company hiring you and then 2 weeks letting you go? WTF?
2 weeks isn't enough time for anyone.

Unless Davis did something behind the scenes that upset coaches (which I doubt), then my guess is they decided to release him to make room for Cory Linsley or some other injured guy that is returning (too many count), and it purely was a roster move.

However, you'd think they would plan ahead. Abbrederis and Banjo got waived too, so it's not like there already was roster spots being created. Who knows.

With Lang nursing a bad hip the thought process might be bring Linsley back in and have Tretter move over to RG instead of Barclay if Lang is beat up that bad. Also until the weather turns, the O we are watching is the O that is going to be run. 40-50 passes and 12-15 runs per game. So really no need for the jewel of the Knile.

Davis isn't the answer to any Packer related question.
In regards to NMPF post above....you are right, except now Tretter is injured. If he's not the starting center, he's hurt.

I have a question, could Janis be a TE?

Here's some good news on the situation!

GB either:
doesn't like what they saw in practice and are taking action not to lose the pick; or they were satisfied with his practice work and are cutting him so as not to lose the pick, but anticipate that Davis wont be claimed and plan to sign him as a FA.

They saw him every day in practice. And while the time certainly was not enough to learn the playbook, I think one can judge the footballing ability by seeing a person in practice. And he probably wasn't good enough, and not better than what they're having at the moment...

And let's face it, he isn't the second coming, and will never be more than an avg NFL RB at the best, and that probably won't happen either...

With no experience for Jackson and Monty peeing blood I really don't like this move.

At first I was surprised and thought it was too soon, but it's clear he was only there to fill a roster hole if someone was injured or could not play like Monty. Would have liked to see what he could do but If he was only used a handful of times in the last two games he was never going to be really used anyway.

MIght be the only smart thing he did. What is confusing is if he wasnt going to really play those few weeks, then why did we get him in the first place. Must be they knew Monty was not going to be available due to his sickle cell thing.
So now that Monty is back, we have like a run game of one person and the Rip?

I think they let Davis go because either Monty and/or Starks will be back for this week and also they want to make room for Linsley. If those are not the reason then Davis must be really bad to leave themselves with Jackson and Rip as their RBs. Personally, I'm hoping that Monty is able to go. Thanks, Since '61

Well the Chiefs needed depth at running back today and signed someone else, Davis was available and they did not resign him. Probably sign with the Vikings they are in panic mode as I predicted . Zimmer called them soft now they are playing soft.

Nope - Guy was to hyped. Like most average players. It takes 3 years just to learn how to run the right play.

By us or the Jets. He only lasted 2 hours with them. I can hear the call now " Ah, Mr Davis. About that job offer. Ya well forget coming to New York, we've had a change of heart. That check you were expecting, aint in the mail and wont be. Oh ps, have a nice day"

I've always been a Ted supporter, but this season has me wondering if he knows what the hell he's doing. Strange season so far.
