6034,32,9,'Davis Taking League By Surprise...','According to Associated Press sports writer Mark Babineck, the Texans readily readily admit they didn''t see rookie Domanick Davis coming.
They had him pegged as a fourth-round pick, primarily as a kick returner. His name hardly even came up in general manager Charley Casserly''s news conference after the draft.
Now Davis has a chance to become the only NFL player to run for 100 yards in each of his first three starts.
"He''s a guy that breaks tackles, he''s got speed and a very low center of gravity, offensive coordinator Chris Palmer said. "I think he''s done a great job and we''ll see how far it goes. Obviously, I''m very pleased with him.
Davis got his chance this month when the Texans grew tired of watching offseason pickup Stacey Mack barrel into the line for under 3 yards a carry.
"Domanick has exhibited a really good work ethic, head coach Dom Capers said. "He''s come and he''s been impressive in the classroom and in the weight room. He''s a mature guy and he understands how important preparation is.
"His production on the field earned him the starting job.
His position coach at LSU, Mike Haywood, is hardly surprised that Davis is breaking out on football''s biggest stage.
"People didn''t realize that although he''s 5-9 and about 215 pounds, he runs with a great deal of power, said Haywood, now coaching running backs at Texas. "He''s a compact and explosive guy, and he just needed an opportunity to showcase his talent.
That wasn''t supposed to happen in Houston.
Not this quickly, anyway.
Davis was drafted to replace the departed Jermaine Lewis as a kick returner and possibly to spell the burly Mack on third downs. Then Davis broke his right hand during a blocking drill and missed most of training camp. Once he returned, Davis was considered the No. 3 back behind Mack and supplemental draft choice Tony Hollings.
