Yea, I was just about to say that. Davin is having a great year for us, hopefully this won’t affect him buy I can only imagine it will.

"He kept on throwing soft jabs on the field, and we just kept on hitting him harder," Mason said. "Eventually, he fell. It’s kind of like one of [Muhammad] Ali’s fights. Keep on talking, ‘What’s my name? What’s my name?’ And every time I looked up, that guy was either on the ground, getting pushed out of bounds, Willis [McGahee] stiff-armed him. - WR Derrick Mason on Miami LB Channing Crowder
