The #Dolphins will receive a late-round draft pick from #Ravens in exchange for CB Will Davis, source said.

Well, after one full week in Baltimore, Davis on Thursday night looked better in Baltimore than he ever looked with the Dolphins. The Ravens played him as their slot cornerback, not outside as Miami tried to do for so long. They put him in the game ahead of Kyle Arrington, who has been with the team longer.

And Davis had a key tackle on Pittsburgh's Antonio Brown on third down in the open field (Dolphins tackling stinks right now) and had another important pass defensed on a third down (the Miami defense has not been good on late downs so far this season).

So feel good for Davis.

And feel pain for the Dolphins because this is what has been happening too often: Players here go elsewhere and perform better than they did here. Players from elsewhere who performed well come here and don't play up to those same standards. In some cases, players come here after playing well elsewhere, don't perform here, and then leave and go on to play well again.
