Id say he was worth 5 firsts

Yet there’s still dumb dumbs bitching about his play

quote:

Edge rush he SEEMS ineffective

But man when he crashes the middle... like a log splitter

i mean, pressure is pressure anyway you generate it.

its like aaron donald, people think all of his sacks come on the A gap rushes. nope

Hard to believe he was only 8 firsts!

lol he leads the league every season in almost sacks!

Your wife had 7 1st.

So what does Davenport actually do because he doesn't get many sacks or tackles. Take away TB game last year and look at his sacks and solo tackles. Other 4-3 De make tackles why doesn't MD. He is a combine HOF but is just a NFL role player. 90% of NFL fans have no clue who MD plays for

He only plays about half the snaps also (averaging 35 a game over his 29 games played; most games will have about 60-70 snaps on either side of the ball).

When looking at it in that light and projecting out, he may have had 12-15 sacks last year if he played 16 games and the majority of the snaps like Jordan does.

But he is getting back on track now and played 64% of the snaps last game. I expect that trend to continue now that he's a few games back from injury. He'll likely see between 2/3rds to 3/4ths of the snaps each week (especially if he keeps up the level he's on).

After the Senior Bowl, many compared Davenport to another fast-rising big-framed athletic edge-rusher, Ziggy Ansah.

And it also took 3 years for Ziggy to finally blow up (14.5 sacks, 4 FF, 39 tkl). He remained a force when healthy but he consistently dealt with nagging injuries.

If you think he been a successful pick rhen you have no clue about football. Yes he is a beast but he hasn't been a beast on the field. 97% of nfl fans have no clue wtf he is because he is just a role player. Last year take away TB game he had 3 in 12 games. Thats not a beast!!
