Demario Davis is a class act
During the Jacksonville game Davis put a helmet to helmet hit on Jacksonville TE Geoff Swaim. The contact was incidental and unintended but Swaim did not get up and lay motionless on the field. Davis immediately fell to his knees, put his hand on Swaim and started praying. He was the first player to take a knee, even before Swaims own teammates. Swaim was eventually able to walk off the field.
This move by Davis is class act. Instead of smiling like Roby or the Tampa player who was disqualified Davis first concern was the selfless wellbeing of an injured player. Davis is quickly becoming my favorite Saint. May be the best FA pickup we have gotten in a long time. Hats off to you Davis. Glad he is a Saint. In a league full of Twitter wars, divas, 100 million dollar contracts and players whining about their team this was a breath of fresh air. When Winston smushed Cams head into the ground and Cam got up and crossed his arms as a sign he wasn’t going to retaliate just shows me the disciplined and positive the culture of our defensive unit has become. |

Re: Demario Davis is a class act
I don't think he meant to hit him helmet to helmet and the way he reacted, you could tell he felt bad about what had happened to the poor guy.
Glad he is a Saint too, he reminds me of Vilma. |

Re: Demario Davis is a class act
From his first game last year I saw a LB'er who plays smart, fast, hard hitting football. I have deep respected for him and his values. He might be the reason the Pope blessed us.

But according to the interpretation of the NFL rule, I understand the flag. Hope he's not fined excessively. |

Re: Demario Davis is a class act
The flag was legit because in the end it was helmet to helmet but it was absolutely unintentional. I thought I saw the shoulder during the game as well. He has stated that was the case.

Re: Demario Davis is a class act
Yeah, it was helmet to helmet but you could tell it was unintentional.
It's more of a collusion thing and being in the act of the moment where it happens and you have no control over it. He surely did not mean to do it and he was quite bothered after it was over. |

Re: Demario Davis is a class act
I agree. I still wish they would throw the flag for us when we get hit helmet to helmet. Its either a no call or Offensive PI.
