Maryland CB Sean Davis

RPO? You mean the guy that doesn't realize the Steelers drafted a SS high SPECIFICALLY because Golden started week 1 against the Patriots and did a terrible job vs their TE?

First two highlights are Gronkowski catching an 18 yard pass against Golden and Golden diving helplessly at Gronk's legs as he walks in for a TD.

Yeah... start Golden the great destroyer of TEs.

I actually love arguing with you haha.

We both agree that it is most likely that Golden starts the season and Davis will have his snaps gradually increased until later in the season when Davis gets a chance to start.

Based on how the Steelers typically handle rookies it is the best assumption.

 

"Yea, that response sounds better than what I originally wrote"

Lol

 

Yea, that's "specifically" why they drafted Davis...

 

Sean Davis may or may not be ready come week 1. I will say this though. Should he improve his man coverage early on, who's to say he is not one of the best safeties from this draft? Athletically, he is already there being only surpassed by the likes of Karl Joseph (then again, his caliber of talent is ABSURD).


To me, Sean was one of the more underrated players in the draft, Hawkins being another. I am sure that Butler will have Davis and Burns play within their strengths while easing them into his system. Keep in mind that Dupree was also eased into the system (granted, Kentucky was so devoid of talent that they made Dupree do EVERYTHING) and, while he did sputter a bit mid-season, he picked it back up by seasons end. If the likes of Dupree can be used despite the learning curve year one, I see no reason why Butler would not have Burns nor Davis play to their strengths while having them learn some of the more advanced mechanics that go into playing their respective positions.

 

I clicked to see ignored messages.

I'm not that down on Golden. I wish he had gotten more snaps last year but I think Gronkowski dominating him week 1 marked him... still who can guard Gronkowski? Not Terrence Garvin haha.

I guess the Steelers coaches don't think Golden is starter material and didn't need to give him more snaps.

I'm pretty certain day 1 it will be Golden>Davis>Thomas but who knows what happens in camp.

 

Golden was the starting SS game 1 last year was my main point... until got got Gronked twice in the first half.

 

Oh, well then your main point is also wrong. Allen was the starter at SS, he played 56 of 61 snaps

Golden played only 24 snaps

 

If Golden was so great, we wouldn't have drafted a safety in the second round. That's how bad we felt the need was. Golden is a backup at best. He may start; but by season's end, Davis will be the one who's had the most snaps.

 

Brilliant logic here from the same person who ask me, " How's it going to feel when we don't take a cornerback in the first round."

No reason that Davis can't start from day 1. He's just as good as burnt toast Golden right now.

 

We finished 30th out of 32 teams in passing defense. Davis can be no worse then what we had last year. But at least he has the upside to be better by season's end.

 

a reference dr. wallace used during that fumble.

 

Golden played 40% of defensive snaps. When Golden was on the field he lined up at SS while Allen played close to the line like a nickelback.

Golden didn't get much time because he got embarrassed by Gronkowski early.

Your argument that Golden can somehow match up with Reed is dumb.

 

Yes, 24 out of 61 is about 40%, I'm thrilled you were able to get something right in this conversation

Rookie Sean Davis will do better.

I'll crown you the king of the internet if you can find this quote.

 

Found it.

I inferred that Golden would do a much better job defending TEs.

 

blackhole, blackhole, blackhole........

 

You inferred poorly.

 

Davis wont start game 1. I'll legitimately 2:1 this up to 100 bucks.
