In the other thread, I mentioned the dropped pass against Tennessee by Reggie Davis, and I got to thinking about it. I wanted to take a look at it. I went to YouTube, and could not find just the dropped pass. (I'm sure it's there somewhere)
I DID, however, find the interview with Davis after the game. Man, you can see the pain on his face and in his voice. One reporter, actually tried to make him feel better by saying how he had had a really good game leading up to that point, and saying the loss of Chubb probably affected the game, but Davis would hear nothing of it. He took full blame and responsibility.
I feel for the kid and really appreciated his honesty and willingness to take responsibility. Rare today.
He knows what it means to "Be a man."

For months I've been thinking that Reggie Davis will have a great 2016. He has one last chance to make a big impression before the draft. Davis has the speed and the hands. He just needs to improve his focus.

His first TD reception is the longest in UGA history if I remember correctly. It was against North Texas and his track speed was on full display. He left everyone in the dust.
I was pissed off at the time of the dropped pass but like the reporter said he had a great game up to that point. Hope he has a great season for us. We need all the help we can get at the WR position.

I think you nailed it right there. I played WR, and i know that when you have a wide open pass like that....well....those can be the hardest to catch. First, you think, "I can't believe I am this wide open!"...then you tend to peek at the goal line and your position on the field. Like you said, you lose focus and that's when a drop occurs.
I'm with you all the way. I hope he has a big year. Unfortunately, he will probably always have that dropped pass identified with him.

Reggie made some really good plays in the G Day game. I expect more of the same going forward.

I can guarantee you (From experience) he will bring that play up t some of the younger receivers and use it as a teaching moment. Seems to be a classy kid.

It was in the 4th with 4 minutes left. There still was no telling if we would have won had he caught it anyway.

Reggie is a good ball player who had a lot of hype coming to UGA that he hasn't exactly lived up to. I think he'll have a great season this year after getting some motivation from moments like that last year.

he catches that pass, Richt is our coach today

Beyond just dropped passes, how many times did Reggie Davis muff kick returns inside the 10 instead of letting them go as you are coached to do from 1st grade ?
What a humble guy though..

While true, don't you think momentum would have swung our way? And I promise...in his mind it would have made the difference. We'll never know, but i replay plays over in my mind today wondering how they might have affected the outcome of a game. And I haven't played in a long, long time.

I don't know. How many?

Not sure what one has to do with the other. He has split seconds to make a decision. Do I field it? Where are the defenders? There's a lot going on inside a return mans head. It's always easy to second guess from the stands or from in front of a TV. We always know what we would have done.

Who hyped him up? He was the #58 WR in the nation

Maybe I'm wrong but I remember our fan base being extremely high on him and thought he would be a big time playmaker and comparable to Malcom Mitchell.

The problem was that Reggie was never a return man. Although he is speedy, on returns he tended to speed into defenders instead of slowing to elude.
The return game was mismanaged under Richt. At times it seemed that returners were switched with no apparent rhyme or reason then, when there was a good reason to make a switch, no switch was made.
Hell, all I ask for is perfection.

Nope. You have plenty of time before ball is snapped to note where your feet are located. .. If it's says 5 next to your feet, you let it go. Pretty simple.
There's no way you're not a woman. Or a hermaphrodite at minimum.

I have a feeling RD is in for a big year. Eason ability to stretch the field as opposed to Lambert and Mason the past 2 seasons will highlight Davis' strengths as a receiver, take GDay for example.
One thing's for certain, Chubb and Davis will be ready for Tennessee

Davis was always going to be a straight line burner. He is never going to out juke someone or run them over. Because of his size he is also an average blocker at best.
He was a good 3 star talent in high school and he's been the same in college. I'm glad he's on the team and we will need him, but he's no Malcolm Mitchell and he does not have an an NFL future, imo.

Agreed. We know what Reggie is and he will never be anything more or anything less.
