How much did Davis really play the Mike? Did he get any regular season snaps there? Any regular season snaps with the green dot, with being the sole backer in dime coverage?
I think casual fans and sportswriters have this meme that he was playing the Mike. But I didn't notice it in games. You are better at this analysis. Did you see any regular season snaps at Mike for Davis?
Also the 3-4 that the Skins are flirting with (that people call a 5-man DL, but somehow has BOTH (!) of the DEs standing up, would obviously have to two "middle" linebackers in base. Yes, one is the Mike. But they have pretty similar responsibilities. Different from a base 4-3 in terms of outside versus inside backer.
Dumb question - in a world with more nickel (and possibly a 5-man DL), would it make sense to give the play-calling responsibilities to the strong safety? You kinda never know if you're going to have 1, 2, or 3 LBs anyway, while you know there'll pretty much always be a strong safety on the field to take the role.
