Big high pick Davis is the obvious player to actually bag on. Much more than our QB1. Traded up to take Davis high first round. No production either second half of his first two seasons.

How can any fan just gloss over…not just a first rounder….but we traded up in the first for Davis. Not judging his career 100 percent at this point. But after two seasons of him not surging the NFL season grind…can now label him as not a draft prospect that was polished and NFL ready. He’s enormous…so he wasn’t like most guys needing to bulk up just to play among the pros. But he’s got to take his job serious enough here to build up more endurance and stamina than he’s shown. 

What was Davis? 14th overall or something? Rookie season we went on our playoff run with him not even being a starter. Suh and Linval Joseph their last career seasons got the nod over him. I believed it was bad injury management involved there though some. Rushed him back. For no reason. Should have let him get fully healed up so he could have made a difference. Just never been such a clear cut season like 2022 for us. Only important games were Dallas…but really Niners NFC Championship…whomever the AFC sent for the big game. Rush back the huge guy on a bad wheel? Never made any sense to me. Davis missed time over the injury anyway. But he never came back from it to contribute anything worthy.

Year two with Davis? Talk about just falling off. Other than just his actual physical size out on the field…what did he really contribute? Seemed like maybe an early season we glimpsed a little burst mobility and promise. Wasn’t a top 50 DT. Super high draft pick. Can’t even get a dominating half a season out of him.

Oh….then you noticed. That’s why I was pointing out it wasn’t that obvious of a player to need to cut ties from. Think No Mas was dogging him. Twenty six year old strong proven pass rusher that does things the right way and stays out of thug life troubles(like the cowboys endless routine). The 4-3 vs 3-4 debate in 2024 is overblown. Either side is preaching some hybrid tendencies. Two gapping versus one gapping is the usual main philosophical and X and O difference. But been trying to point out how for a good amount of time now NFL D consists mostly of Nickel and Dime. Which much of the time consists of four D players placed at the line of scrimmage. Then you have short yardage and goaline stuff. Going jumbo Sweat has his place in those formations. If you have two big bodies between him and the ball he’s a large human to contend with outside of that. Sweat has good reach and hand and arm usage.

Yea I noticed the Eagles opted not to extend him that way more telling they kept he because he took a pay cut to stay. And we likely let him walk next offseason and get a comp pick from him…. Fact is he isn’t a fit under Fangio he is only an above avg. at best pass rusher and a below avg. run defender.

If your going to be an Edge that below avg at defending the run you have to at least be a damn good pass rusher why Reddick got paid… I’d say Sweat is easily a tier below Reddick as a pass rusher.

Didn’t our big boy Davis have like 2.5sacks and was actually playing fairly well first half the season he’ll was even one of our highest rated players by PFF through 9 games last year. By all means he needs to get right and finish the season strong but dude is 24 and he has admitted this same sentiment.

Davis is never going to be the player that stuffs the stat sheets he isn’t going to get a ton of sacks…. Davis just needs to take his game to the next level and become a strong run defender.

I also love how Davis production is solely him while other guys on our D you want to blame the coaching for there fall off ??? 

So

Josh Sweat had 43 tackles 6.5 sacks(all of which came in the first 9 games of season)  2.5 tackles of a loss 

Jordan Davis had 45 tackles 2.5 sacks 6 tackles for a loss 

but Sweat fall off is because of the coaches???? But Davis is solely his fault????

He did nothing the last 8 games of the season.  He is like a Dallas player... sucks against the good competition.  Pay attention this year.

To come out and bash Sweat over not producing sacks at the end of the season is just uneducated fan talk. Clearly our D was going through major shifts with the coaching inputs. Desai really needs want doing that bad with his limited roster he was given. But then Patricia was sabotaging and poisoning in Rosie’s ear most likely. We started seeing Reddick out in coverage more. Sweat being used in roles not doing the sexy Qb stat chasing. Carter and the whole D fell off.

Half the season...not just about sacks either.

💯 

Dallas making moves!!!

Reading up on Sweat situation.... dude taking huge pay cut to stay,really shows his opinion of the organization... owner,GM, coaches etc.

The culture that has been built up for a player in his prime age turning down that money to stay on a team where his role is going to be diminished and have a lesser chance to earn the big money the rest of his career.  

That's a statement to how players feel about playing here.

I'd have no problem taking Fields but as you said the price would have to be right

Why would Fields accept BU pay?? I wouldn't if I were him. Just because he had a trash O line in Chicago doesn't mean he can't start somewhere

Thinking they are drafting a TE this year. Could be a real huge two TE set team.

Have one on my mock. Spann-Ford

Sweat was a part of an historic pass risk just two seasons ago you shouldn’t forget. Clearly a player good enough to be a piece of that puzzle.

Historic 🤣

Spann-Ford(TE) I have in round 5 pick 170. Needs coaching(and NFL experience (like everyone),so I think he would be fine competing for TE2 or TE3. See who from that group emerges. I also like Stoll as a blocking TE. He can catch,but he's not great on routes.

I still have Powers Johnson as the 22

Reddick played like a top five defender two seasons ago. So being below that is no shame.

I didn’t see that Sweat took any paycut. Saw other teams league wide were interested in paying him even more. So saw what we did was guarantee him money because he didn’t have much guaranteed money left in his contract.

Sweat has done way more than Davis. Except Sweat was forced to earn all playing time he ever received.

Because my thoughts are based on the whole body of work. Several different coaches he’s displayed these same traits.

See you point out and see it from my side but not your own.

Agree....the play during the 2nd half of the season is where the shame should be.

He was ranked fourth in creating Oline holding penalties. That obviously usually is done when a player is beat. Those holds are what the Oline did instead of let him get that clear win towards sacking the QB.

By our GM and coaches. Nothing successful was occurring pretty much anywhere consistently.

Patricia was doing some really goofy crap. You try and pay attention next time.
