New York Jets LB Bart Scott (toe) was replaced last week on the field by LB Demario Davis, who is faster and more athletic. It is believed that even when Scott heals, he won't be back in the lineup, as the Jets try to inject speed and athleticism into their aging and slow linebacking corps.

New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan said he has been impressed with how LB Demario Davis performed during offseason workouts. "I have not been disappointed one bit," Ryan said. "This is what you get. He's the first guy on the practice field, the last guy to leave. He's bright-eyed, he can't wait, can't wait to get in the classroom, can't wait to get on the field, be with his teammates. I think that's why you're going to see this young man have a long career. There's no doubt."

He still has a lot of things to learn. But just to have those leadership qualities, you can tell where he came from. You can tell he was a leader in college."

New York Jets defensive coordinator Mike Pettine said he was happy with the additions of DE Quinton Coples and LB Demario Davis because they will add speed to a defense that was a little slow last season. "The league is evolving that way to be a pass-first league," Pettine said. "We felt we were getting – for lack of a better phrase – a little dinosaur-ish inside. We feel we needed to increase our athleticism and team speed."

Arkansas State LB DeMario Davis improved his stock at the NFL Scouting Combine Tuesday, Feb. 28, looking like the complete package. He posted a 4.58-second time in the 40-yard dash, posted a 38.5-inch vertical leap and 10-feet, four-inches in the broad jump. He also posted 32 reps in the bench press. Davis, who was a bit of an unknown coming in, displayed good speed and quickness while moving in every direction, and he showed solid ball skills in coverage drills.
