    Bill Davis (LBs Coach) - Can He Develop Young Talent?

    The Isaiah Simmons development plan (or lack thereof) is starting to make its way into the Ohio State media...

    Bill Davis (LBs Coach) - Can He Develop Young Talent?

    I don't struggle with sarcasm. It just wasn't good sarcasm. And you were doing it in an attempt to mock me. So yeah - I took offense. Says the 37-year old dad who is lecturing me on how to act on a message board. Yeah - it's definitely me that is being so serious lol You literally quoted...

    Bill Davis (LBs Coach) - Can He Develop Young Talent?

    Did you not say that you want to slap your kids for some of the things they say? You tried to be funny, and it fell flat. Why can’t I participate in burying you without being “triggered”? Maybe I get enjoyment out of doing that. It’s also a great time passing activity. And it’s not my fault...

    Bill Davis (LBs Coach) - Can He Develop Young Talent?

    Oh no doubt I’m salty. You have the nerve to mock what words people use, only to pivot into your take on why we should respect “ratchets” because they’re “one of the most useful tools we can find” Make sure you stick that take in your back pocket for later lol

    You just cut a promo attacking the use of the word “ratchet”. You literally defended a tool. Quit trying to hijack the thread. Sent from my motorola edge plus using Tapatalk

    Bill Davis (LBs Coach) - Can He Develop Young Talent?

    Obviously "no history of success" is a bit harsh & extreme - but you acting like he has this long resume with achievement after achievement is just as ridiculous. You are also admitting that he has zero experience developing "young high picks". So what makes you think that he would be good...

    Bill Davis (LBs Coach) - Can He Develop Young Talent?

    Wow that's terrific. Hopefully at 84 you learn how to respect other people's opinions that may not align with your own. That would be a good start. Or better yet - maybe learn to not jokingly prescribe meds to people just because they may think differently than you. Not only is it extremely...

    Bill Davis (LBs Coach) - Can He Develop Young Talent?

    1. The word "dope" was used because, when used in a sarcastic manner, feels extremely condescending to me. That was my goal. 2. There are not that many things more cringey to me than people who go out of their way to discuss / keep up with popular lingo. It reminds me of when corporate...

    Bill Davis (LBs Coach) - Can He Develop Young Talent?

    In the interest of fairness - I was obviously being sarcastic. His post deserved to get buried. It was embarrassing. If you don't agree with my opinions, that's fine. I think we can all agree that we all don't have to see eye-to-eye on everything. But the point of this place is to have a...

    Bill Davis (LBs Coach) - Can He Develop Young Talent?

    I have no idea how you were able to convince yourself that I ever said, or think, that Simmons is a bust. You just completely made that up lol. To reiterate - I think that Simmons is an unbelievable talent, and there was no doubt that he was the right pick at #8. Freak athletes with his level...

    Bill Davis (LBs Coach) - Can He Develop Young Talent?

    I mean Ohio State rotated LBs, like they do most positions, but Browning most definitely played the majority of snaps. I would say that 11 TFL & 5 sacks in 11 games is pretty damn solid production - especially for someone who primarily lined up at MLB. It was no doubt a huge step up from his...

    Bill Davis (LBs Coach) - Can He Develop Young Talent?

    I mean I respect the mental gymnastics - but I can promise you that you are reaching. Good luck finding any Ohio State source to back up your logic. Plus - it wasn’t just Baron Browning who had issues. The entire LB group struggled as a unit. Did they all just stop working hard? Isn’t that...

    Bill Davis (LBs Coach) - Can He Develop Young Talent?

    And it’s not like that defense lacked talent around the LBs... DE Nick Bosa (before injury) (1st Rd Pick) DE Chase Young (1st Rd Pick) DT Dre’Mont Jones (3rd Rd Pick) DT Davon Hamilton (3rd Rd Pick) CB Kendall Sheffield (4th Rd Pick) CB Jeff Okudah (1st Rd Pick) CB Damon Arnette (1st Rd Pick)...

    Bill Davis (LBs Coach) - Can He Develop Young Talent?

    Maybe, but the whole position group was a disaster during that time - Browning was just the headliner. Davis had a LB room loaded with future NFL talent, and made them look pedestrian at best. The moment somebody else took over, the entire unit took a huge step forward, with Browning taking...

    Bill Davis (LBs Coach) - Can He Develop Young Talent?

    I mean we’re talking about Ohio State here. Being a 5 star player isn’t exactly unique there. For reference, here are the other 5-star players that Browning came into Ohio State with: Chase Young - #2 overall pick Jeffrey Okudah - #3 overall pick Shaun Wade - projected top CB prospect &...

    Bill Davis (LBs Coach) - Can He Develop Young Talent?

    While I would NEVER want Bill Davis as my team’s DC ever again, I don’t doubt the fact that he is an impressive Xs & Os guy. He obviously knows the game and earned those opportunities. My issue is that the smartest teacher isn’t always the best teacher. All indications are that he is not...

    Bill Davis (LBs Coach) - Can He Develop Young Talent?

    Thanks for providing some specific examples. Again - nobody is saying that Bill Davis absolutely cannot develop young talent at LB. However, his track record does not supply much evidence to the contrary. His biggest opportunity to prove that he could work with & develop young inexperienced...

    Bill Davis (LBs Coach) - Can He Develop Young Talent?

    Yep. I definitely put all the blame on one specific coach... It’s not Bill Davis’ fault that he’s the LB coach of the Cardinals. It’s the organization’s job to ensure they’re putting Simmons in a position to succeed. So far - they’ve failed miserably. They came out and immediately...

    Bill Davis (LBs Coach) - Can He Develop Young Talent?

    Exactly - thank you. I don’t doubt that Bill Davis is able to coach guys like Jordan Hicks & De’Vondre Campbell. Those guys are professionals who have been around the block and proven they can hang it in the league. I’m sure he’s great with those guys. The concern here is that Davis has no...

    Bill Davis (LBs Coach) - Can He Develop Young Talent?

    Yep. The dude got run out of Columbus, where he had an insane talent advantage over the competition - but I’m supposed to just sit back and allow for him to mangle the development of our #8 overall pick.

    Bill Davis (LBs Coach) - Can He Develop Young Talent?

    You’re quoting yourself as saying “I’m not dissing good coaching” - and then proceed to diss good coaching lol. It is crazy how many people whine about coaches, playcalling, scheme, etc. and then downplay the impact that coaching has on player development. It makes zero sense. If Isaiah...

    Bill Davis (LBs Coach) - Can He Develop Young Talent?

    I think you might be right - but doesn’t that make coaching that much more important given the extreme circumstances? I’m sorry that I don’t want to leave Simmons’ development up to chance & luck. Our LB coach has little to no track record of getting the best out of top raw talents - and that...

    Bill Davis (LBs Coach) - Can He Develop Young Talent?

    Nice dude. Not only are you trying to use semantics to try to prove how smart you are - but you’ve also managed to mangle the meaning of the word “dope” in 2020. Impressive.
