Harper - please to see him playing again. Yes!

McKenzie used to excell at his technique when he played for Green Bay. Just before he became a Saint, the NFL changed some of their rules in order to protect receivers a bit more, making some of McKenzie's technique illegal. He's had to readjust the way he plays over the last few years. Early on, he struggled. He also showed a lack of enthusiasm by taking plays off when we had bad seasons.

However, when he feels inspired, he plays more ferociously than anyone else on the field. He's extremely aggressive and confident and it steps up his game. I also think he's managed to readjust his technique over the past few seasons and has once again obtained a level of excellence.
