Davis is a clone of Hyde, well that's what the coaches think and want. And paid for with the round pick they got him. There thinking was In this way he can slot into team easier of Hyde injured.
So now Hyde is injured Davis will get the reps at RB, & good luck to him he has earn this shot through great stats at college.
Bush will back up to rest Davis and maybe take some screen passes if OC feeling adventurous.
If Hayne suites up, he is doing PR only, then may step up to RB if bush gets injured.
The issues Aussie have is that Hayne ability shown in pre season = nothing so Davis college seasons should also = nothing now that it's regular season and 1st stringers.
We have learnt also the NFL is all about the stats. So...
Davis is like 1.3 yards per carry ranks 95th in NFL for players rush 15 plus times.
Hayne is 3.1 yards per carry from just 8 rushes. Less rushes more than double the yards,
Both have missed blocks, both have missed blitz, both have looked lost on plays.
Some vets say Davis is more experienced, well it's college level exp. so technically that do t mean s**t against NFL first stringers.
Aussies want to talk about big game exp, World stage exp. proven pro level elite exp. so technically that don't mean s**t cause this is the NFL.
The point is on stats alone during NFL reg season at RB Hayne should get first shot. But we all now know he won't.
Lucky if they let him suits up
Mate thats a great writeup showing both side of stats and why there are so many diverging views, they can be taken anyway the reader wants to.
