He has all the potential in the world and is exciting to watch because he is so explosive. If we could only keep him healthy.....well, you know!

I think whilst the injury bit is a big part, I just don't see the hunger from him either.

For a guy his size and with his explosiveness, he should be embarrassing O-lineman. It's often seeing him lying on the floor that reminds me that he's even active on gameday.

I don't think the motivation is there, which is a shame because he could be one of the best if he applied it all.

Twitter is going crazy with Carl Granderson workout tape at the minute, nice to see someone sees an opening for more snaps and wants to take advantage.

BTW 9.5M is kinda cheap even for a inconsistent pass rusher.

What were we paying Trey Hendrickson?

Way less than he got elsewhere.

Different scenario. Hicks was being forced to play in a role that didn’t suit his talents. Payton was obsessed with the Legion of Boom and kept trying to emulate it without the personnel to do it. In Davenports case we doubled down on an player who has been injury prone and doesn’t really scare anyone when he’s healthy.

Don't forget we signed former Chief DE Kpassagnon who will be a good rotational piece. Long (6'7), only 26, athletic & has shown ability to get to QB's. In 2020 he had over 800 snaps ... half of those came from the edge.

X factor here -coach Ryan Nielsen :D.

Last year it was his foot, the year before it was his elbow. This is his 4th season in NO.

Marcus needs to stay on the field in 2021 and produce.

He only needs to stay on the field if he is producing.
Ain't likely.
