Davenport is going to be a monster. Wait and see. When he starts getting pressure on that other side and they can't continue to put all the focus on Jordan...look out.

Agreed.

His "twitch" and acceleration is freakish. I know many may be enamored by sack numbers but the way he moves across the field & navigates through traffic is scary. Once he polishes up the technique ... oh boy.

We blew the first game. It happens.......every year apparently. It sure does make the rest of the schedule more demanding and we better execute flawlessly each and every game.

Davenport will never justify two first round picks; just another stupid draft move on Payton's part; but this kid has got to get more pressure, sacks...

FWIW, Khalil Mack started all 16 games as a rookie and had only 4 sacks. Cam Jordan ...15 games played as a rookie and 1 sack. Fast forward them both ... now ELiTE at the position.

Davenport's time will come. I've seen enough "flashes" to spot a potential beast in the making. Give the kid time to polish his craft and technique. If he doesn't have a single sack this season, it could still be a great pick.
