Saints rookie film review: If everything translates, linebacker Davis Tull could prove to be a steal for New Orleans
 

Davis Tull didn’t belong in the Southern Conference.

Plenty of quality football players pass through that conference, and some even succeed in the NFL. But watching Tull, who starred for Tennessee-Chattanooga, play against that level of competition, it almost seemed unfair.

It became worse in nonconference games, when Tennessee-Chattanooga played the likes of Tennessee Tech. In those games, Tull, who was picked by the Saints in the fifth-round of the NFL draft, almost made a mockery of the proceedings.

Down after down, play after player, he was in the backfield, creating pressure or making life miserable for the quarterback. There’s one play against Tennessee Tech from last season when Tull trucked not one, but two running backs serving in protection and had the quarterback dead-to-rights. The only person who could stop him was a teammate, who tripped and took out his legs.

The performance was stunning. From start to finish, he was in the backfield, making the other players on the field look like props and standees. No one could stop him.

There was NO pass rush last season, none, nothing, nada...

Our linebackers barely registered on the screen...

It starts with the line play on both sides of the ball...

And our front seven on defense has been abyssmal!!!

I just don't understand it. I was so pumped about our D line after 20103 season. The idea of seeing Jordan, Hicks and Jenkins all playing in a Pro Bowl didn't seem far fetched to me. Add Foster and Walker and I was thinking best D'Line in the business. Now they're crap? :confused:
