New Orleans Saints linebacker Demario Davis spent about 2 minutes answering questions the same way on Sunday.

After being the star on the Saints' defense in a 33-18 win over the New York Giants, reporters wanted to know how much motivation Davis felt in his return to MetLife Stadium where he used to play for the New York Jets. With each question, Davis responded by talking about the goals of the defense, and how everyone involved accomplished those.

Finally, when a reporter said that Davis didn't seem excited to discuss his personal stats, a teammate chimed in with a perfect summation.

"That boy a dog!" fellow linebacker Craig Robertson yelled from a neighboring locker. "56 a dog! He a dog! That's his personal stats: Dog."

Then, there was an exchange where Davis continued being humble while Robertson voiced due praise.

"It's a team win," Davis said. "Team win. One stat matters: That W column."

"That W, plus dog," Robertson said.

"We got the win. I'm happy. I'm excited," Davis said.



"Hey man, he's modest," Robertson said. "I'm going to talk for him. My name is (Demario) Davis. I'm a dog."


Davis finished Sunday's game with 11 tackles, two for loss and two sacks, the first sacks for him since joining the Saints this year. It was by far his most impactful game this season, and with him stepping up, the Saints had their best defensive performance through four games.

"He had a hell of a game," defensive end Cameron Jordan said.

The Saints gave up just 299 yards Sunday, their fewest of the season. They also forced two turnovers after having just one through the first three games.

The biggest problem the Saints had was yet another slow start as the Giants marched down the field with a 10-play, 75-yard touchdown drive to start the game, something Jordan described as irritating.

"I hate having to respond," Jordan said. "I want to dominate from the jump."

The entire defense tightened up after the opening drive, but nobody stepped up more than Davis, who showed the diverse skill set that made the Saints want to acquire him in free agency in March.

Davis might not have wanted to talk about his personal performance, but other Saints were glad to talk about his impressive day in the stadium he called home for five seasons.

Brandon Mississippi's finest!

I had a feeling he'd perform well in NY.

Keep grinding.

Another reason Robertson should be on the field.

DA put Davis in a spot where he used his strengths to succeed.

Gee...what a concept.

I like his leadership style. He leads by example and is a good locker room guy too apparently. He just needs to keep it up now that he's producing.

I believe this was a factor in bringing him in and for bringing Ben Watson back ... and for drafting players like Boston Scott and Marcus Davenport.
