The Saints started yesterday's game with Akiem Hicks at nose. Did John Jenkins play at all? He has no defensive stats from the game, but I don't see him on the injured list.

I don't remember either but I do remember Hicks going off like a maniac on a few plays.

No doubt. He was very productive (7 tackles, 3 solo) and played with a lot of enery and enthusiasm.

but like others said I saw hicks in the backfield a few times

I like the depth at the D line

What a difference a year makes.

I was wondering that this morning. I didn't notice him playing at all yesterday and he had no stats.

Maybe the Saints felt like Hicks gave them a better pass rushing presence.

Maybe, but Ridley was having some success which should have brought Jenkins into mind.

I did see John Jenkins in on a few plays. Bunkley was active and on the field, so that could mean fewer snaps for Jenkins.

Didn't have many opportunities to rotate guys out so maybe that has something to do with it.

His conditioning has always been in question. Maybe they didn't think he was up to defending an up tempo offense.

Plausible.
