“Keith Davis signed a contract with the Miami Dolphins on Tuesday. The Cowboys will miss him more than many of you think.

That’s because Davis brought attitude to the Cowboys’ special teams, and the defense in the limited opportunities he received.

If you don’t believe that, then ask yourself why the South Beach Cowboys, led by Bill Parcells, Jeff Ireland and Tony Sparano, made sure they added Davis to their roster.

The Dolphins stink. We all know that. Parcells and his group need to change the culture.

Guys like Davis do that.

Davis doesn’t have the most athletic ability. He’s not the biggest or the fastest or the strongest. He bites too much on play-action passes, and he gambles too much.

But he plays the game with a passion that can’t be duplicated, he works hard, and most important, he plays the game with no fear.

None.

He doesn’t believe he can be blocked. He doesn’t believe he can be stopped on kick coverage.

He believes he’s the biggest, baddest junkyard dog on the field ? and it doesn’t matter if everyone else thinks he’s crazy.

He believes that in his heart, and his attitude rubs off on others. That’s what made him a valuable member of the Cowboys and why he’ll soon become a fan favorite in Miami.”
