Hill is looking good, played very well in the preseason game as well. Too bad he isn’t a few years younger.

Like Stallworth & Lawrence's potential. The interior DLine will be amazing if 1 or both can rotate with our starters...our 2nd half D will only be better if all those guys are fresh.

SEC...D-lineman factory.

Guys are starting to tap out...

Re: 2018 New Orleans Saints Training Camp
 

Got to say... getting concerned with the Davenport pick, if you can’t stay healthy that’s the fastest way to being called a bust.

Re: 2018 New Orleans Saints Training Camp
 

Re: 2018 New Orleans Saints Training Camp
 

Kind of pre mature for the "bust" label.

Davenport is very young, coming from a small football program & then suddenly graduating to playing with grown men. There will be growing pains. If he turns it on THIS YEAR, that would be outstanding but it's not the end all be all. Once healthy, I see him being used in the rotation as depth for year 1 unless he proves otherwise. The lynch mob was all over Jadeveon Clowney (lots of injuries in year 1) after his rookie season too. 3 years later he's a beast at the position.

Give Mr. Davenport some time.

Re: 2018 New Orleans Saints Training Camp
 

The "time" he needs is in the preseason games and on the practice field going against grown NFL offenses & o linemen. No way he's a bust...yet. But it is concerning that he's rarely practiced since TC has started. As I said in another thread, I'm seeing a red shirt this year. If he contributes this year then fantastic, but I'm not seeing it. We have DEs across from Cam that can play and getting regular season fit right now, miles ahead of Davenport.

Re: 2018 New Orleans Saints Training Camp
 

From my understanding Davenport is soaking up knowledge like crazy while getting back to %100. You don't have to be out on the practice field to learn the nuances of the position. You can learn by watching tons of tape and by learning from your coach (perhaps the best defensive line coach in the NFL) and your fellow players (Cam Jordan has apparently taken him under his wing). He'll get his chance to use what he is learning soon. Just because he hasn't hit the field yet doesn't mean he isn't working.

Marcus Davenport picking the brain of fellow first-rounder Cam Jordan

The black and gold defense was a big reason why the franchise made a return trip to the playoffs for the first time in three seasons, but one aspect that they want to improve on from a year ago is their pass rush.

The Saints were tied seventh overall in the sacks category (42), but tailed off in the final game of the postseason against the Vikings. With first round draft pick Marcus Davenport working into fold he's trying to pick the brain of a fellow first rounder Cam Jordan.

"Yeah I always talk to him especially after a rep. He'll pull me over to the side, give me some constructive criticism. Help me out, try to get my mind right for the next play and yeah really, he's like a big brother helping me out."

Speaking about being a first round draft pick Davenport said, "Honestly, I felt the pressure and you know it's in the air, but luckily with my coaches, with teammates, they've helped me to not even think about it. It's more about improving on a daily basis, every day getting better because we got big goals and I want to be able to contribute."

Davenport was drafted 14th overall in the 2018 draft while Jordan was drafted 24th overall in 2011.

Re: 2018 New Orleans Saints Training Camp
 

Davenport will play this season and he'll play a lot. Be patient. We're only one week into the preseason.

Underhill: Saints training camp Day 19: Trey Hendrickson, Arthur Maulet keep impressing

Full story: https://www.theadvocate.com/new_orle...9cb28ba26.html

Footnote from the article:

Notes: "Not the best day for A.J. Klein. He got beat pretty bad by Ingram on a curl out of the backfield. Klein also got beat in the flat against Jacksonville. … WR Keith Kirkwood dropped a pass. He’s had a few of those this camp. … Another nice pass breakup by CB Justin Hardee, this time on a deep ball to Brandon Tate. It was mentioned yesterday that he needs to keep making plays on defense. … Ben Watson is back. The veteran tight end had several good plays during practice. … TE Dan Arnold had one of his better moments of camp by catching a fade for a touchdown. ... Natrell Jamerson broke up a pass. The rookie cornerback is coming on".

I'm really concerned about the lack of improvement from Klein. Starting to wonder if he's even a starting caliber LB.

Re: 2018 New Orleans Saints Training Camp
 

I am as well, but I like the fact how deep we are at LB. If he can't step it up, its not as big a problem than in years past. It'd just be nice to see more growth from him.

Re: 2018 New Orleans Saints Training Camp
 

I’m starting to think all this cross-training the LB’s at each position might be impeding some development. It’s great to have guys who can play all three spots in case we need to account for injury or take advantage of match-ups, but can we just put them where they’re best and let them develop some chemistry?

Klein moves between Sam and Mike, Anzalone started at Mike in the first preseason game, and Davis has been playing Will when I don’t think anybody really expects him to be playing there instead of Mike when the regular season starts.
