coaches said he graded out very highly last game anyway.

 

thats my boy!!!

 

glad to hear he stepped up. thats all he needs to do. show hes working out there everyday to be the best player he can.

 

You damn strait prez...

 

i felt very reassured after watching him last game. im not gonna rewrite my points, but i saw more than just a few colossal bonehead plays. he's got the moxy, smarts, and athleticism to succeed at cb.

 

Kid can play this game at this level, theres no question about it...if he gets his focus right...we got bookend corners baby. Iam sorry, i know the kid acted like a putz last week, but theres somethin about him that i like.

 

Donald Thomas had a great game from what I could see.

Bokamper complimenting Jake Grove and Thomas. Also Shawn Murphy. Said he spent a lot of time looking at those two guards and the center tonight. Said they did a very good job moving people.

 

I feel ya Seth, you were'nt the only one.

 

kids got the whole team lookin out for him...with that kinda talent, watch out..iam listening to him right now...hes laughin and said , "he wish he could still be playin...likes to stick his nose in there and laughs thru the whole interview...i love the kid, hes gonna be a true miami dolphin

 

wucha u talkin about Prez, i told people not to overreact in my post game thread last week.

 

He had a great game tonight, corrected those small mishaps from last week....he is the REAL deal for sure

 

had some great tackles, good coverage.....iam excited about our corners for a long time!!!!!!!!

 

Truth be told I'm pretty anxious to see who gets the start among the CBs and who plays the 3rd, since #3 preseason game is typically a game that features the starters on into the 2nd half.
I'm thinking Smith will start with Davis coming in as the 3rd CB. But what I think doesn't mean a thing.:dunno:

 

i can't wait to watch the replay tomorrow. i missed the tv tonight. Even more pumped to hear Vontae played great. THat is very encouraging for our young secondary players.

 

To be honest, look what Troy Williamson did against the Bucs. He looked real good to me last week. The light could be turning on for him much like our pal Ted Ginn. So if Troy Williamson managed to snooker Vontae for a play or two, well, he's turning into a pretty good player.

Laurent Robinson also looks awesome over in St. Louis. Nice trade for them.

 

most of his dumb plays in the first game was on ST

 

I haven't watched the game yet but I don't think one game will put his critics to bed because he's been doing some (negative) things for years in college. He was an inconsistent performer in college in my opinion despite what some of his statistics might suggest. He has the ability to be a lock down cornerback in this league but I think he has to work more on the field. I saw him have mental lapses in college, blow coverage and disappear in run support after one hit that was a momentum swinger. However, I've seen games where he's absolutely dominated while playing on an island with no help over the top. Like I said, I think over the last few years, he's been an inconsistent performer and because of that, I think he went in the mid twenties. I do think he was one of the better cornerbacks however, especially when it came down to potential. I just think he needs to put it all together. Will he do so at this level? I'm not ready to say yes or no, especially not after two pre-season games.

Re: Last week - he wasn't great but he wasn't bad either in my opinion. He was inconsistent.

 

It'a about freaking time! I wonder how long will allen will be around.

 

I was critical of his play last week-three penaltys is not the way you want to start out.Tonight he played well and I hope he plays better next game.Good game Mr Davis.

 

i love how the front office saw our biggest problem and addressed it in the 1st and 2nd round, and free angency. Of course the latter example is no longer with us. lol. I hope we do something like this every year with our biggest needs. I wonder what position we will attack next year? i wouldn't mind seeing us go after a WR in the 1st and 2nd round, and free agency.

 

I doubt you see this organization go with a wide receiver in the first round. I could see third but first, I don't see it. I think we'll go outside linebacker and nose tackle. Probably safety and offensive line as well. I could see cornerback again in the late round.

 

Man, I really liked him coming out of college.

 

Vontae got beat on a feww short passes but let me tell you he had the receivers on complete prison lockdown down the field. I almost wish his nickname was "The Warden".

Also very impressed with his tackling.

 

What constitutes being beat on short throws? Allowing them to catch it and then tackling them for a loss?

 

I was impressed on that screen pass. I dont mean "beat" I just mean there were a couple 3-4-5 yard passes completed on him. I'm not saying he played badly on those throws. My point is that the only completions he allowed were in front of him and thats amazing to see in a young corner.

 

Its kind of funny last week everyone had a love affair with Chris Williams and were down on Vontae Davis, this week everyone is down on C.Williams and having a love affair with Davis.
I have to say myself Davis was pretty dominant tonight, and I have to think his future looks bright. Good job Vontae.
