Colts sign DT Carl Davis

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Another big guy

 

 

[MPStack]

6-5 and 320lbs.

Keep the volume off for the second one, some nasty language in the music selection.

 

Anyway, looks like a big body and a run stuffer.  Might wind up being a pleasant surprise.

[Myles]

I'm optimistic about this.   We needed the size.   

I guess he could be classified as a bit of a bust for a 3rd round pick.  Hopefully he has a chip on his shoulder.

Will like just for PFR usage!

[Fisticuffs111]

Wonder if/when we'll see either him or Coley get some run.

I liked Carl coming out of college.  Was strong at the point of attack and heavy handed.

seems like he was drafted to play in a 3-4 def and probably didnt play as well as expected to in that DEF. maybe they look at this as depth for Grover since they are similar in how they move.

Vaguely remembered the name, looked him up to refresh. Slipped in the draft and never wowed in the pros. Good measurables though.

At 6-5 320, it's probably a potato chip.

[CR91]

I did like him out of the draft

[Caffrey]

I like him and he hasn't played a down for the Colts yet.

[DougDew]

So in 2015 in does pretty well for the Ravens. Doesn't play in 2016.  Then plays for the Ravens in 2017 and plays 15 games with 12 solo tackles and 7 assists.  Not bad really.  At 6.5 320 I assume he's a NT and not a tackling 3T.  Then plays 5 games for the Browns in 2018 and is gone. 

 

Is there an injury or some off the field issue?  His 2017 stats seem decent enough to have been retained.

[Horse Shoe Heaven]

I liked him coming out of college hopefully it works out!

[Smonroe]

They worked out Shane Ray and a couple others too.  

[AwesomeAustin]

That guy is huuuuuuge

I'd be amazed at Coley or Davis actually play a whole lot. Of course I would love to see them thrive.

Coley played 3T.

[krunk]

Carl Davis is strong enough to be like a young Al Woods with more athleticism. Hope he works out.

He didn't show up in the box score so he must not have played much.
