ANDY BEHRENS: All right, I'm going to protect the people from Mike Davis. I know that you thought you were-- you were doing the smart thing when you drafted him right. He sure looked like a big off season winner, looked like he was stumbling into a featured workload for Atlanta.

That line was terrible. He averaged 3.3 yards per carry in the opener and this week, oh, it's the Bucs defense. It is a defense that ranked number one in the league against the run by a wide margin last season. And then shut down Zeke Elliott in week one.

In fact, Dallas didn't even really try to lean on Zeke Elliott. They just gave up on that from the get go. So don't like the setup for Davis this week at all. And oh, apparently we have to worry about Cordarrelle Patterson as well taking a share of the backfield touches. That's cool.

So just an absolutely horrible setup for Davis. I'm sure there's going to be good weeks ahead, but it is not going to be week two against Tampa.
