| PRACTICE NOTES |
Monday (1/21/02):
Rohan Davey started slow and got worse. He was awful fundamentally. His techniques were terrible. His accuracy was not good. Davey was throwing purely with his arm -- he didn't get his hips around or get his shoulder up. His release point and footwork were different every time. Davey also showed a tendency to hold the ball too long. He has good size, skill ability and arm strength. If he improves through the week, it will show he has the ability to accept coaching. Davey could be well-served spending a couple of years in NFL Europe.
Tuesday (1/22/02):
Rohan Davey showed a strong arm, but he didn't always know where the ball was going. His drop and throwing motion were inconsistent again. There is some question on how long it will take him to learn how to read coverages in the NFL.
Wednesday (1/23/02):
Rohan Davey made some better throws today. He threw the ball more consistently. He looks like the kind of player that improves as he spends more time in a system. Davey's getting a better understanding of what the coaches are looking for. He's starting to look more comfortable.
Thursday (1/24/02):
Rohan Davey is trying to use the techniques they are teaching him. It looked like he's changed his drop to make it more consistent. When you do those things, you go up and down. It's like a golfer trying to change his swing. He was still a little erratic, but it's not going to come overnight.

| SUMMARY |
Rohan Davey is a big quarterback that needs to drop some weight and reshape his body structure. He has an outstanding arm, is a leader and a winner. Davey has shown improvement throughout the week because his techniques have become more consistent. He started out slow this week, but his progress and improvement showed people that he takes to coaching. His game performance and combine workout will be important. Look for Davey to go in the 5th round.
