Raekwon Davis is dominating NFL interior offensive lines with power

The Miami Dolphins have a bunch of rookies from the 2020 Draft proving to be quality players, but Raekwon Davis is one of the best.

I don't understand. All of our best draft gurus said he sucked!
Is the film being doctored? Is someone else impersonating #98?
I mean it's just a tad too obvious that he's playing some bad ask ball!
Something fishy in fish town! And how in the world did Flo see something
in this kid that seemingly others completely missed? I think Grier is into
some weird state-of-the-art voodoo stuff. No other possible explanation!
And how long are this dudes arm? They look almost illegal.

:ponder:
 
I think Grier and Flores have some sort of secret magic postion they rub on these kids. I've been a fan for almost 50 yrs now and never seen a Miami draft class like this. Davis has been playing way better than anyone could have imagined.

Thank you. This draft was one of the best in many many years. The "fire Grier" mob was premature me thinks. I love this draft to to bottom. History still being written but I'm still excited.

Getting paid to play the game may have a big influence on this situation.
 
I still would have taken Jeremy Chinn there and then gone DT with the 3rd rounder they used on Brandon Jones.

There was quality DT help on the board at 70 and Davis might have lasted to that pick anyway.No DT were taken between the Davis pick and the Jones pick so he might well have lasted to Miami at 70.But obviously they really liked him and not want to risk missing him.

But I have no complaint with Davis, I thought that the staff knew what role they had in mind for him when they took him that high and it certainly looks like they did.

He may never be a stat producer but he has had a lot to do with the overall strong play of the DL.

Flores and Grier hit on Ogbah, Lawson and then Davis to really bolster a weakness.

Hopefully then have a similar off season trying to add some weapons for Tua this spring.
 
Flores reaction to drafting Davis was the most animated he was that night.

He was really happy to get him which made me feel better about passing on Chinn.

I would like to see them add a true run stuffing NT to the DT group this draft, but not too high, maybe early day 3.

Or hopefully Benito Jones becomes that guy.
 
I think the thing with Raekwon was that once he was a 5 star, starting as a freshamn surrounded by a bunch of future early draft picks, then had that monster 8 sack sophomore season he just kept trying to replicate it but once teams figured him out they would just chip him x3, go away from him and let him wear down and then they would just run it straight at him.

Here he's part of a whole has a clear task he can win on an every snap basis, wear the offense down instead and still have gas left for a surge late in the 4th qrtr on a crucial stop.

Flores taught him leverage and traction, he no longer spins his wheels aimlessly on an every down basis. He used to play like a pit bull playing catch and jumping himself off a cliff, now he plays it smart and instead of trying to beat all 11 guys 40 times he now just focuses on barely beating one guy or two one time, and then again and then time again.

I don’t think that’s what they said.

Calling somebody out for being blatantly wrong is right up my alley. However, completely misrepresenting what somebody said doesn’t do much for your already broke credibility.

DROYkwan is good at exactly what was said that he was good at, and sucks at what was said he sucks at. Which is why he’s a 2 down player. It doesn’t take a football savant to figure that out.

Speaking of football savants - there were a few of those around here that said Tua sucked and they wouldn’t draft him.

You wouldn’t happen to know where I might could find one of ‘em do you?
