CB Will Davis Waived

[Rav'n Maniac]

Ravens waived Will Davis today and awarded CB Chris Lewis-Harris on waivers from Cincinnati.

Don't know much about Harris. Does anyone know if this was a good move?

[Maryland]

That's surprising, at least when I think back to preseason when he was outperforming Powers and Wright. 

I know nothing about Chris Lewis-Harris, but I'm guessing this move is more indicative of a dislike of Davis than a liking of Lewis-Harris, considering he seemed to be the last corner in the game vs Giants

Looks to be a JAG but has an interception this year.

Figured Davis was in danger for Elam tomorrow, so the move really comes a day early, I'd think.  He wasn't playing much on defense, other than the game where he was 1 of only 3 healthy CBs remaining.  He wasn't a great ST guy either, so he was expendable.  I can recall a lot of comments that he didn't look all that fluid in his recovery from his second ACL tear, so I'm wondering if that just never improved.

Yeah there's not much info on him. Was a ufa, on and off the Bengals roster and PS numerous times. Seems a little surpising.

Looking at Twitter, Bengals fans are mad because they dumped him and not our good friend Chykie Brown, who is magically still on a roster somehow.

 I think I read somewhere that Harris isn't a vested veteran and Brown is and they chose to keep Brown.

Well he's been in the league just as long as Brown . I guess Brown has more starting and playing time experience than him though.

5'10?  The Ravens need some taller and more physical DB's.  All of these short cats.  C'mon!

I don't give a damn if he's tall or not(and 5'10 isn't that short for a corner. See Chris Harris. All pro corner. 5'10), if he can play, he should.

 

Doubt much comes from it though.

So you're saying if we just drop the Lewis, we now have Chris Harris?

See that's just it...I do give a damn!  All of these tiny CB's going up against these taller receivers. See 6'5 Mike Evans and 6'3 Julio Jones from last night.

 

Of course if a person can play, he should but this subject, like all others in here is about one's "personal" preference.  That's mine!

[Deflated Football]

Another awful move and Shareece is still on this roster. Lame 

[JoeyFlex5]

Will Davis was another warm body overhyped by ravens fans because of a decent showing in an incredibly small sample size. 

Never understood the hype behind the guy, but I wish him the best of luck... Not really though because now he plays for cinci.

Shareece is better. That's why.

In the same way that you wouldn't match a short corner with a tall receiver, you generally don't match a tall corner with a small, quick WR. You need all kinds of corners to cover all kinds of receivers. Everyone has their niche. Thankfully we've got Jimmy to match-up with big WRs, so it's really not a huge concern. 

And besides, if a corner plays with good technique, has good recovery time, and can fight for the ball, size doesn't become an end-all factor. Brent Grimes had wins and losses covering Calvin Johnson because he's athletic enough to recover quickly and time his deflections (or in this case, interception). 

[omar586]

he probably plays ST too,

I get that there are and have been some good to great "small" CB's and the need for all kinds, technique and all bro!.  But once again, as I've stated; to have bigger CB's (6'1 and up) is a "personal" preference of mine,

Davis was a bum. His game against the Giants was an absolute nightmare.

Lmao as if there's a plethora of corners taller than 5'10. Since apparently you missed the boat, 6'0+ corners that are good are like unicorns. And most 6'0 corners are safeties that are confused.

Or they get overdrafted despite having stiff hips and sub-par speed like Stanley Jean-Baptiste lol

Shareece is not good at all. Are you kidding me? He has 11 tackles week one and everyone is so enamored with him, then allows Crabtree to burn him for 3 touchdowns.

thank you. the prototype of big physical corner is pat pete, a guy who actually is overrated in coverage because his high center of gravity and naturally stiffer hips lead to missteps and slower recovery time, when facing quick shifty route runners he gets tangled up in his own feet sometimes, its just natural. not that theres anything wrong with it because those guys are clearly better when facing those big mismatch wrs, but they certainly have their weak points.

first of all, crabtree has been on a tear this year and beating a lot of guys for tds. second, how does this make will davis any better? people always wanna just throw guys out on the field like it cant get any worse... yes it can, it can get much worse. will davis played a little bit of one game and had a decent performance, he got on the field against the giants and got roasted, and its safe to say he wasnt showing much improvement in practice or anything like that which is why he was waived. 

nobody is enamored with shareece wright, we just happen to be realistic and know hes a better option than will davis who has been hyped up for absolutely no reason whatsoever.

Other than one touchdown, 5'9" Chris Harris Jr blanked 6'5" Kelvin Benjamin and little 5'9" Jason Verrett may be playing as a top 5 corner this year.

I have to kinda agree with Militant it would be nice to have a cornerback with size. I thought it was ashame when Sheldon Price went on i.r because he look good in preseason and of course his 6'2" height intrigued me.Since Shareece Wright is hurt that  leaves The Ravens with  J. Smith,T. Young, and J.Powers as their main starting cornerbacks and i'm not even sure if Young evens plays because he suppose to be dealing with a concussion.The Ravens don't really have a  healthy true outside cornerback  that they can trust besides Jimmy Smith  right now and I'm aware that their cornerback Robertson Daniel is 6'1" but I have no knowledge of him.

 

Height isn't everything when it comes a corner or any player but right now The Ravens have bunch of nickel corners and one outside corner in Jimmy Smith. Matt Elam may actually play on sunday so that's another nickel corner added to the mix. One of our 5'10 or less corners are going to be covering  Steelers Wr Sammie Coates who is 6'1"  and can be quite dangerous so that's some what concerning.

Nobody is saying that he's good. Wright sucks less than Davis does. Remember that davis and the gang let odell run around them for 222 yards and two touchdowns. If Davis was sticking Crabtree, Crabtree would have made a play on him every single time. Im talking 10 catches for 200 yards and 4 touchdowns. Davis looked like a bum signed off the street to play football for the first time ever in that Giants game.
