The ability to track your man and the ball simultaneously separates good from great. On this play our hero demonstrates an inability to do so in staggering detail. These are the moments limitations become clearly defined. He also cant turn and find the ball while covering. Its one or... the other. Ball or man.show more

This is such a ridiculous hill to die on

Bruh, you’re too smart to be doing all this rage bait engagement farming.

Alright Gavin, give me the best safety in coverage in the league and I'll show you just how 'perfect' they are in coverage compared to this rookie you're picking apart

It's probably Derwin James or Kyle Hamilton but Downs isn't those guys. Those guys also impact the run game like a linebacker and can play center field.

@DragonBallSan1 Its his 2nd freaking game. Those guys weren't those guys game 1. Jesus. Get a new bit OR do what any reasonable person would do: give him grace to develop. He has already made impact plays.

@gavindawson preach bro

Becoming locals medias most annoying personality. Yeah he gave up some plays also made quite a few. He’s a rookie gonna be great. Just feels like you’re rooting against the kid. By the way Reuben Bain who you wanted has been trash

Bruh!! @1053SS somebody PLEASEEEEEEE take his football brain and punt it to the sun, this tweet is so idiotic!!!!

This for the record was not an inability It was a player looking to play instinctively outside of his original assignment. Ultimately a bad decision.

What? Ya at this point it’s clear you just have a very limited football Iq. He gets caught looking in the backfield. It’s a rookie moment. Not an indictment of his coverage ability. Again bc you seem to not understand that nobody has said they expect him to be perfect

give it a rest. Everybody who is anybody in NFL circles knows this kid is a stud. He's played 2 games and is already making an impact. Let this schtick go before you embarrass yourself further.

Oh no he allowed a catch for 17 yards what should we do….. he’s a rookie that’s rated the 7th best saftey overall through 2 games…. He’s forced 2 fumbles multiple pass break ups multiple run stops and a sack…. Just stop being a dumbass and admit he’s a great player

Its snarky ass comments like this that make me realize that you not only can’t admit you’re probably going to be wrong, but your shtick has played out. It’s also why I can’t listen to you guys show at all anymore. You guys have gone way downhill.

3 million fans and football media analysts - Caleb Downs is the most nfl ready rookie in years and can do it all from safety to nickle, he can cover the slot, he can play deep, and he can come up and stop the run Gavin Dawson - nuh uh

PFF is calling you stupid lmaooo

Yeah they love FFs and PBUs

Lmaooo literally no one agrees with you honestly this makes you look really bad you lack ball knowledge

Damn Dawson it is 2 games. You have to be here proving your right. We don’t know what the kid is yet. Shit like makes it hard to tune in at 2 in the afternoon because you just want let shit like this go. Get off your damn pedestal. It really is fucking exhuasting

He stopped thinking Daniels was running.

Fuck yeah Gavin cut his ass! Piece of shit isn’t playing at a half of fame level 2 games into his career what a pathetic piece of shit! Glad we’re on the same page brother! Hell yeah dbag nation or whatever yall say.

You see why I keep saying 105.3 The Fan absolutely sucks ass. I mean how is this good football coverage? What does this have to do with talking about the state of The Cowboys? Its just a middle aged man trying to prove, unsuccessfully btw, that he's right.

Gavin, I'm not sure what Caleb did to you, but this insane hatred for the kid is unbecoming of you as a good radio host.

You had a bad take, got cooked, and now you're going to turn it into a skip bayless bit?

This is absolutely engagement farming to the highest level. We are two games into this rookies career, and here we are evaluating this man like his ALREADY hit absolute peak. Your embarrassing yourself.

1 play to fit your narrative 😂😂 105.3 gets worse every year and it’s takes like this. This had nothing to do with limitations this had to do with eyes in the backfield LIKE A “ROOKIE”. He either thought he was sacked or scrambling and got lost with eyes in the backfield

I can find you something similar on any player you wanna name. Guaranteed.

Give it a rest. What are you doing and why?

A lowlight of a rookie in his second game ever in the NFL is pretty lame on your part. You’re either an idiot or you’re selling out for engagement. Both alternatives kind of suck.

Playing corner.. again show us all the “bad” safety play..

Bwahahahaha. Thank God I don't listen to crap @1053thefan ESPECIALLY this listless clown 🤡 and Broaddus. They are a non funny joke. But whatever. Irrelevant.

And here again is an example of why this has gotten so out of control. You are dying to find examples of any flaws 2 games into his career instead of praising what he can and is doing. You want to be right more than you want him to succeed.

You working at The Fan is killing the stations credibility. Thats how bad you are at this.

Crazy mountain to plant your career flag in. It’s not even that serious at this point. A lot of credibility at stake for something that’s splitting hairs. He’s better than most and from there who really cares? Besides you?

Nitpicking 2 plays in week 2 of his rookie season mind you. This how you know he’s gonna be gernational if the haters are taking victory laps off a 30 second clip.

Time to hang up the bad takes, Gavin.

You have no fucking clue what you’re talking about.

Gavin salute I helped me through some commutes and I also love to share a hard truth. We get it u think there were some limitations that others overlooked. But claiming U R right after 2 games is ego! whether it’s him or Thineman. Y don’t you break down our DTs? Please

What a twat you are.

He clearly let up because he thought the QB was sacked! Yall starting to be annoying af!
