The only time I saw him in the game yesterday he completely blew up the line and was in Newton's shite almost immediately and disrupted the play. I'm sure he had more reps than that one play but I must of not seen him out there.

Although still raw, he seems like he could be a game changer up front. Why is he not playing more?

Its kind of been the Saints MO. They usually have rookies come along slowly and they get significantly more playing time later in the season. Happened with Graham, among others, as far as I can remember.

I think he will see more and more playing time as the season goes on.

We need somebody in there, because #77 pops every snap. And moves around like a guy with a peg leg chasing pigeons.

Could not agree more. Hicks has shown great potential. I heard all preseason of how many strides Junior Galette in the offseason and I rarely see him in. Martez Wilson is another player who I would like to see get in and get some pt. If he can get down the field and make plays on special teams why cant we see him rush the passer?
