Davison has pretty strictly been used as a NT. I think Onyemata would be the more likely candidate to play a larger role due to his versatility. You could even line him up at strongside DE and kick Jordan inside next to Rankins if that gives a more favorable matchup.

If Fairley doesn't return then we finally have a little depth and should still be competitive at DT in the middle. Of course with Fairley we are deeper than ever before with a heck of a rotation. Fingers crossed for Fairley.....and the Saints.
