Carey Davis May Benefit Willie Parker

For the past three years, newly-signed Redskins fullback Carey Davis played for the Pittsburgh Steelers, where one of the guys he regularly blocked for was (relatively) newly-signed Redskins running back Willie Parker. In 2007, Davis helped pave the way for Parker to run the ball 321 times for 1,316 yards -- a 4.1 ypc avg. -- and two touchdowns. Parker has had an up-and-down training camp and offseason with the Redskins, and there have been persistent rumors that his roster spot was far from secure. But then Larry Johnson had a rough outing on Saturday night, which some believe muddied the depth chart a bit, and the upcoming game against the Jets is slated to be Parker's chance to stake his claim. So it's kind of serendipitous for Parker that Davis was signed this week. "It's good to be back with P," Davis said today. "That's my guy. We had a lot of great years in Pittsburgh." The benefit goes beyond just having an old pal in town, though. "...
