Marcus Davis Doesn’t Feel Like Blocking

International Man of Mystery
Remember this video the next time you see 6'1" 185lb Kenny Bell out there on the edge blocking for our guys (with a nod to Brian Rosenthal who made this point on Twitter).

Virginia Tech Receiver Marcus Davis Doesn’t Feel Like Blocking. Ever.
In the above compilation of last Thursday's Florida State-Virginia Tech game, Virginia Tech receiver Marcus Davis (wearing the No. 7 jersey, and highlighted with a white arrow in the video) seems to not agree with the concept of blocking for his teammates. Maybe it's a diffusion of responsibility (Eh, there are nine other dudes. One of them can get that guy), but Davis does not make any effort to contribute as his offense tries to grind out a few more yards. He ended up only catching two passes for 68 yards as the Hokies lost, 28-22.
Click the link for the video. I'm really surprised Frank Beamer allows this.

Mr. Davis responds to Deadspin. Probably didn't help his cause much....

He must be watching different film that what Deadspin had. Arguing he can't 'block in the back' Sure thats fair, but he didn't bother blocking from the front either.

He would never see the field here.
