The Facts:
New OC Mike Martz said none of his offensive players worked harder this spring than Davis, who was on the field before practice started and hung around after it ended to hone his receiving skills.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Meanwhile, when Davis watches film of Martz' past offenses, he's told to pay special attention to WRs Torry Holt and Isaac Bruce. That's because Martz still plans to use four receivers to put pressure on defensive backs -- just like he did in St. Louis. The difference? Two of those receivers just might happen to be tight ends (as noted in a previous item, Martz also likes back-up TE Delanie Walker). "I don't know if anyone in the league can run like he can at that position," Martz said of Davis. "He gets down the field so fast. I don't know who beats him in a footrace. ..." Martz will get Davis downfield with routes atypical for TEs. "Instead of breaking down and head-faking and doing all these things, we're going to use his speed," Martz said. Sounds like a great plan. ... If they follow through.
