Jason Davis Sets the Record Straight

That is good for him beacuse if other prospective coaches see that, they will think he has an attitude problem. It does appear that he is confident in his abilities and frustrated at the situation…rightfully so. I think they should put him on the PS so he will be ready for next year when T-Rich retires. He and the “Terminator” would be a awesome combo….IMO

but i don’t buy Davis’s story. It was just scout team reps? Really? That answer shows that davis didn’t see those reps as important to his chance of making the team, yet, when you’re a third stringer.

Thanks to Tivo, i decided to re-watch that situation and here’s what i noticed….
Davis turns down reps.
Chauncy: What the F’s wrong with you.
Davis: I didn’t feel like going.
Chauncy: What do you mean you didn’t feel like going? You trippin Jack.

Chauncy goes on to tell him that he shouldn’t give up now, and if he wanted to quit, he should have quit a while ago.

So… Here’s what i take from this… Chauncy seems to think that by declining reps, Davis is quitting. Davis doesn’t say that his ankle is bothering him, or that he’s hurt, he just says “I didn’t feel like going”.

To believe Davis’s story, you basically have to believe that HBO was out to get him. They wanted to edit footage of different events to make Davis appear to be a quitter. Perhaps the guys from HBO talked to Chauncy and asked him to confront Davis about quitting so they could get it on tape.

Judging by the interview, and the footage, i would say that Davis got frustrated knowing full well that he wasn’t going to unseat Richardson or Connor, and gave up on making the Jets.

And prior to this being aired, Davis went to the bengals for a tryout, and they told him Thanks, don’t call us, we’ll call you. (That was from Davis’s twitter page).
