I don't think you really understand his job on the DL. He was VERY good this season getting into the backfield and eating up blocks. Most plays teams tried to double team him.Originally posted by hexumhawk:
Too bad he took about every other play off in a Hawkeye jersey
His Nebraska performance outstanding, he truly looked what many hoped he would become. That game though.......Originally posted by ChrisVarick:
Carl Davis developed into a leader and I find it hard to question his motor after his sophmore year. He almost willed us to a victory against Nebraska this year.

I agree, he did very well, and that one hand stop of Gordon was awesome. Our system just doesn't really emphasize sacks really. It's more about containment.Originally posted by final_flashx:
Anybody that ragged on Davis this year about his motor have no idea about football... the guy's role is to plug up the A gap and eat up space and he did that very well, can't wait to see him in the NFL
You don't really understand football very well, do you? Davis did exactly what he was asked to do and I predict he'll have a fine career in the NFL.Originally posted by hexumhawk:

So when Davis lined up between the Center and the Guard he was lined up wrong? NFL teams better think twice about drafting him if he doesn't even know how to line up correctly in Iowa's vanilla scheme. Obviously no one on this board really knows Carl's assignments because we don't know the defensive call every play, but we can speculate. I've seen him play both techniques.Originally posted by MattFoleyHawk:
Apparently 'you' have no idea about football. He plays the '3' tech, which in iowa's scheme means he is responsible for the strong side 'B' gap (they line up on the outside shoulder of the guard to the 'strong call'). They are taught to 'squeeze' the 'a' gap, while being able to 'plug' (in your terms) the 'B' gap. Pasat played the 1 tech which is responsible for the 'weak' side 'A' gap and it is the 1 tech that almost always takes the guard/center combo block (double team).
It just seriously kills me that people have the gall to come on here and insult people when they have nary a clue what they are talking about.
Yea, when I go to Iowa practices, I hear coach Morgan yelling, "Carl, plug the A gap, eat up space!" LOL
Oh, I forgot, everyone is entitled to their opinion. So his role was your opinion???

Here is a picture of how iowa usually lines up on defense. Notice Davis in the 3tech and pasat in the 1tech.

He'd be a great addition to the Cowboys in the 2nd Round. Teaming up with Hitchens once again.
