If you still have no idea who Austin Davis is, you’re not alone. Apparently not even everyone within the St. Louis Rams organization can identify the team’s starting quarterback without a little assistance.
During an appearance on “The Dan Patrick Show” on Monday, Davis explained that he actually had to show some identification recently when entering the Rams facility.
“The guy at the front desk at the facility here actually asked who I was the other day,” Davis said. “It was pretty good.”
For the record, Davis is a former Southern Miss quarterback who has played pretty well since taking over for the Rams this season. He has thrown nine touchdowns and just four interceptions in six games and has a passer rating of 94.3. There’s a good chance St. Louis will stick with him for the future if the team decides to cut ties with Sam Bradford.
David also discussed the Rams’ now-famous trick plays with Patrick, admitting that he had no idea the fake punt return touchdown or fake punt in the fourth quarter were coming.
“When I saw the play, I saw the ball go up in the air and Tavon (Austin) went the other way,” Davis said of the return touchdown. “I thought he was just giving up on the ball. I had no idea what was going on. I was really confused. Steadman (Bailey) caught the ball and no one was around him. I can’t imagine all the things that had to go right for that play (to be successful).”
The opposition is fooled. The quarterback is fooled. Team security is fooled. The Rams are just deceiving everyone these days.
