I just hope he plays for the Saints at the level he did last season for the Jets, and doesn't do a disappearing act like he did with the Browns.

He is the best off-season acqusition the Saints made, on paper at least.

If I'm not mistaken, both the Jets (2012-2015) and the Browns (2016) ran a strict 3-4 in which Davis was fairly limited by the scheme. Davis has the speed and mobility to cover sideline to sideline as do the best Mike LB's. In his return to the Jets (2017) it appeared the Jets ran more 4-3, or at least moved Davis around more. I had read somewhere that the Jets DC, Kacy Rodgers, had come from more of a 4-3 background, but the Jets were committed to the 3-4. Perhaps he finlly got through to them in 2017.

Anyway, Davis is going to get to use that athleticism with the Saints, much like Vilma did when he also "escaped" from the Jets' 3-4 scheme.
