re: Marcus Davenport was a beast tonight

He's hasn't played poorly by any means, but he hasn't quite been the feared passrusher many hoped he would be when the Saints gave up a 1st rounder for him. That said, he's still very early in his career. I remember Jordan getting a lot of "almost" sacks in his first few years. IIRC, it took him a long time to get his first sack. Now he's one of the best DE's in football.

What he is doing is holding his own on what is one of the most underrated and best DL units in the NFL. Onyemata is a great DT. Brown played his best game as a Saint last night and Rankins is just getting worked back in. Hopefully Hendrickson isn't too banged up. With that front 4 (+depth) this Saints defense can be very, very good each week.
