One thing I didn’t see coming was Ray Davis being the NFL’s top kickoff returner

  1. It’s awesome to see his mindset and hard work paying off for him. I love that he wasn’t getting the touches he expected, so he seized on this new role and made it his own.

    I think Keon could learn something from Ray’s example/approach.

  2. Im not gonna say I predicted it because I didn’t, but im not surprised to see him doing well in that role. He was a tough back for us last year, happy to see he found an even more meaningful role on the team.

  3. > “I see it kind of like playing running back,” he said. “It’s like inside zone and you just got to start canceling gaps, see the first thing you see, and you just got to run, man.When you’re going full speed and you’re a stocky guy like myself, you got to put them in a position where they got to tackle. I’ve always been a guy where a lot of people don’t want to tackle me, so when I’m going down full-speed, it’s kind of a ‘good luck’ situation to them.”

  4. Davis as an RB hasn’t had a good follow-up season to a solid rookie year. But he’s a dynamic returner now and he does it in such a simple way. He finds the hole and hits it and takes what is there and it is consistently working.

    Hoping Davis could be a better backup RB but even if he’s just a dynamic returner that’s a nice mid round pick

  5. I was thinking that the Chris Tabor hiring was overhyped until he figured out the Gilliam/Davis combo on kickoff returns.

  6. Let me get this straight, we have the best QB, the best RB and the best return man. If we can’t ride that to a Super Bowl then I don’t know what else we can do.
