How bout' he's getting double teamed on every play. Hard to be effective when you have to fight off 2 linemen.

I think you will see his numbers go up with Oneyemata and Davenport back in the line up. Pressure elsewhere on the line will give him freedom to unleash fury. If he's in single coverage, I'll still take Cam against almost any individual OL in the league!

Cam Jordan is one of my all time favorite Saints. He's playing fine but he needs help on the interior.

Yep yep. Cam has gotten his fair share of one on one battles but isn’t winning.

Like the guy stated in the video, other guys on the interior must step up as well. Can’t wait to get David, Davenport and Kwon back.

My target 🎯 date for all 3 would be the Tampa game.

Still, if you go back and compare numbers, Cam has been double-teamed consistently since 2016 - Cam's just not beating the double-teams anymore...

I think we are feeling the effects of losing Hendrickson more than people want to believe……..

Trey had one monster year and being kinda meh for 3 seasons.

This is true and deep IMO. Not only do you look at the production of the player, but also look to the resources used to obtain the player. That has a big impact on a team.

Let’s compare two receivers; Tre’Quan Smith and Marcus Colston. Now, obviously Colston was A much better wide receiver and that helped the team. But it’s notable because Colston’s production vs resources and “expectation” was extremely high. Smith’s has been much lower.

Let’s look at Reggie Bush and Kamara. Both very productive backs. Both very dangerous and used well in the offensive scheme. But a IMO Kamara gets more love and respect and has been more “valuable” because he was a bit of a surprise and bargain comparatively (a second and seventh I believe). IIFRC they had Peterson signed as a backup to Ingram already when Kamara ppl was taken vs Bush who was under pressure and had expectations from his first day in camp and had a very high draft pick invested that needed a high return.

Now let’s look at Hendrickson and his investment as a third round pick vs Davenport as 2 first rounders and a third. Simple analyses shows having a good return on investment at a third rounder (like Hendrickson) is huge vs not getting your return (like Smith and Davenport).

So it’s cost is not just missing his production, but also on not having the resources at other positions.
