drsamuel84 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Minor move but I like it. They need another RB who can at least handle some carries and with the way they've treated Pope it doesn't seem like they see him as that guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Davis, Jets still need a back for the red zone. And despite rushing for only 780 yards in his career, Davis has rushed for 11 TDs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScarletKnight89 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Not a bad move with some decent upside. He's still a young back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Il Mostro Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Davis had a pretty serious knee injury when he was with the Chiefs. He has pretty much in slow decline since his sophomore year at Arkansas. He was a bonafide stud but couldn't beat the injury bug throughout college. He was already a shell of himself by the time he came into the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shuler82 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Guess he's worth a flier, but consider he couldn't stick on a team with no RBs, I don't see him lasting here. I just hope they dont cut Pope as a result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joewilly12 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Jets get Knile Davis off waivers from Packers Posted by Michael David Smith on November 1, 2016, 4:32 PM EDT Getty Images Knile Davis is on his third team in two weeks. Davis, who was traded from the Chiefs to the Packers two weeks ago and then waived by the Packers yesterday, was claimed on waivers by the Jets. The Packers didn’t have to give the Chiefs anything in their trade for Davis because the trade was conditional on Davis lasting at least three games in Green Bay. Davis managed just five carries for five yards and two catches for four yards in his two games with the Packers. With the Jets, Davis provides some depth in the backfield behind Matt Forte and Bilal Powell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are using him properly if you ask me powell excells against a tired defense. two weeks ago we had a total of 13 rushing attempts (9 Forte) i would hardly say we have force fed him the ball this season but when we do it seems to work out alright.
