Time for my Jamin Davis thread.
I wanted to take a look at how he starts solving the Washington LB problem. Jon Bostic and KPL both finished with a run defense grade of under 50.
Jamin Davis finished last year with a run-defense grade of 87.5, tied for 9th highest in the FBS.

An area of concern with Washington's LBs last year was locating the ball with misdirection in the backfield.
In both plays, Bostic can't locate the football and follows the path of the OL instead of the ball carrier.

Locating the ball carrier isn't a concern for Jamin Davis.
On both plays he ID's who has the ball despite all of the misdirection in the backfield.

Patience was an issue last season. In the first play, SDH doesn't recognize the counter run concept, tries to shoot through the C-gap leaving a huge hole.
Second play, watch Jamin Davis recognize the outside zone concept, stay patient, and wait for the RB to cut back.

Washington's LBs just aren't athletic enough to work under and around blocks at the second level. They just struggled to keep themselves clean,
Athleticism is the best part of Jamin Davis's game. The way he can move around offensive lineman at the second level to keep himself clean is impressive. He looks like a RB with the way he cuts
Last part, quickly ID'ing run concepts is crucial for any NFL LB. Washington struggled with that.
First play, Holcomb takes one wrong step after not ID'ing the pulling lineman and taking himself out of the play.
Next two plays are of Davis instantly recognizing what's happening
