Consensus with the masses if often a sign of being very wrong - certainly not an iron clad sign of being right. Hey, the majority of Germany thought Hitler was a great leader.
Very early Sean Davis impressions.

Sure buddy. That's the best you have?? Just face facts your buddy is a attention *****. He could of placed all of this in the camp updates thread. But not your buddy Coach let me pound my chest based on a few tweets and ignore the good plays..
Meanwhile this guy sucks so bad

Davis has seen time at multiple positions already and the fact that he jumped in with the first team speaks volumes. That definitely isn't the sign of a rookie who is struggling.

Yeap, that's good but WTF with Golson hurt again
Ayers catch vs Davis was Ayers making an incredible falling down back corner catch why Davis was right on his back.
I seen it in person.
I seen it in person.
Possibly. Lol
I have a feeling both the two top rookies will see significant playing time this year.

I think Hargrave will be in the mix with the DL rotation from Week 1 and may even get some time with the base defense in addition to the sub package. Davis probably starts out as the No. 6 DB and eventually becomes a key figure in the big nickel package.

Good to know. Thanks.

And I don't know if that's good or bad news. On one hand, if they play it might mean they are good. On the other, it might be a testament to how thin we are in the backfield.
this is why you don't base an opinion on a player on a tweet or two......
except for Ayers...it is apparent he is kicking *** as a receiver....

So when Golson went down Davis was the guy who stepped in. Very interesting.

If you make them regularly and follow to the exact said dosage each and every time you make Rice Krispies bars, then that is as regular as you can get. NO messing up and skipping as that would make you less regular........

What I've gathered from skimming:
We have another bust after he's been on the field for not even a handful of practices
Coach is backtracking because now Ayers blew by someone with great measurable score speed
So now Ayers is quicker than lightning and Davis is a bust.
It is August 1st right or did I sleep through August/Sept/October and we are practicing for a meaningful mid season showdown?

I acknowledge Lambert was thin as a rookie. He hated the Oklahoma Drill throughout his career, though. It wasn't his strong suit. My point was if you would have seen him in the Oklahoma Drill you may have formed some impressions that were wrong. The impressions you are forming on Davis could be wrong, too. It is too damn early.
The Steelers drafted Lambert because Andy Russell was getting up there in age at that point. Again, they played him outside early, as they were very happy with Henry Davis in the middle. Henry Davis was a nice player, btw. Certainly not what Lambert turned out to be, but a really good football player. Another thing that benefited all the rookies that year was a player strike. The rookies were in camp practicing while the vets would come in in dribs and drabs. Therefore the coaches were more comfortable with a rookie then they may have been in another year.
Lastly, I am sure Lambert did do some impressive things in camp. But I also know that if they would have formed impressions after two or three days like you have on Davis, knowing the Oklahoma drill was one of the first things they did, the early impressions on Lambert would not have been good, either. I wish we didn't have this play by play from camp like we do.

Thanks, Diver. I don't base a camp off an Oklahoma drill. Besides with our DL in 1974, how often was the middle linebacker wrestling point blank with guards?
I judge rookie LB's in their range, ability to tackle, ability to hit, ability to drop in coverage, ability to slip blocks, pre-snap reads, etc.... An Oklahoma drill is but s a very small part of the equation.
While Davis went down, it's obvious Noll felt Lambert was better than the other ILB's on the team.
Now, if we are talking DB's, the ability to cover people is HUGE. Davis is not off to a good start and has been beaten by no-names. This to me is alarming. I can live with rookie mistakes, but when your 2nd round pick is being tested by what amounts to your 5-8th WR's who also have limited experience, I worry.
My assessment, which can be wrong is Davis was terrible at corner and gave up way too many TD's and yards in college. NFL WR's and QB's are much better. I need to be wrong on Davis, our DB's are pretty bad.

So you are doubling down on making a judgement on one drill, on one day of practice, when the Offense has the advantage, and the goal is to work on technique more than anything? Man you are a ******* genius if you can get worried over a snippet about two plays in one practice. I wish I had your ability to come to a premature conclusion on very little if any real information and then post about it like I knew something.
Do you fully understand this is why people laugh at you and you are the board joke? You are basing your opinion, not on what you have seen, but what you have read. Not everything there is out there, just one excerpt of an article on camp observations by someone who may or may not know what he is seeing. On a couple of comments he isn't even sure who made the play, but if you read the whole thing there is a couple of nice comments about Davis (although on one he said it might have been Shamarko, good authority)
The fact is Davis is being called the cream of this years crop on a website that shall be nameless by a reporter who has covered Steelers for a long time and we don't use his name. The fact that they turned to him immediately after Golson was carted off shows coaches must be impressed with him.
Nothing wrong with the play by play we are getting Diver. It only sucks when people use one or two plays to justify their wack *** opinion over a draft pick cause the steelers didn't take their guy..I wanted Billings bad as hell thru the draft process. Know how many times I've thought about him since the draft. 0 til just now. **** him he plays for the Bengals. Its over. Good plays made by these guys is just that PRACTICE..you just hope the good plays carry over to the game.

When it comes to rookies, I'm okay with mistakes and getting beat. It happens. But I'd like to see them flash ability / make plays during the learning process. To date, I have yet to read anything positive on Davis.
As the title says it's VERY early! I'm not saying he's a bust, but I do think he's miscast in the slot.
How did Davis do yesterday when the ball came his way? Not so well as Described by Alex Korza who has a decent eye and play by play write up
1 ) Sean Davis mirrors Ayers well off the line of scrimmage but Ayers gets away on an out.
2 ) Norwood swaps hips with Davis off the line and gives him a little shove upfield as Norwood breaks inward. Gets separation, does everything right…and lets the ball into his chest and drops it. Bummer.
3 ) Sean Davis pitted against AB in the slot. Both the nickel player – Davis – and LCB – Garner – rush. That might be a new fire zone. Ben finds AB over the middle, who takes off across the field and down the right sideline.
0-3 on day four and day three wasn't so good either. While I don't expect a rookie to hang with Brown, I do expect some plays vs 5-8th WR types, and I have not seen any of them yet.
