SenorGato Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Davis should be in competition for the league's leading tackler as the fastest non-pass rusher in the front 7. Coples possibly led the team in sacks as a rookie. Who has the better 2013? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbatesman Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Coples, just because of the position he plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Harris Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Davis looked a bit lost last season - his instincts weren't good and he didn't dissect plays well, he also got swallowed up a bit. He seemed hesitant which negated his number one assett being his speed. LBer is the easist position on defense to transition to the NFL from college. Davis may improve with time but after last season's tape, right now it's Coples by a country mile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenorGato Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 8-10 sacks for Coples, too much or something like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadwayJoe12 Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Good points btw, someone mentioned a while back (27?) how the run defense looked noticably worse with him in. That was the most glaring reason, at least from my point of view, why he didn't see the field more than he did. Not only did he miss tackles, but he often overpursued, misread the counter or just chose the wrong gap. I distinctly remember talking to 27 about a handful of big runs coming as soon as Davis was on the field, not to mention that blown angle on the kickoff during the Pats game where whatever-his-name-is ran it back. I think he'll be a player and a good leader, but I'm gonna go with Coples on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
