If I thought our secondary could generate a few turnovers like they did Sunday I wouldn’t care about them giving up some big plays. So far it hasn’t happened. You have to give props to the Vikings wide receivers though, they were making some pretty difficult receptions.

Sounds like the beginning of an old joke:

A woman in a hot air balloon asks a man on the ground "Can you tell me where I am?" The man replies "You are in a hot air balloon 6 feet above the ground."

I'm pretty sure that Budsdrinker is asking what type of scoring system is used by PFF such that Davenport isn't somewhere on the top of the list. The guy pops when you see him. So the grading criteria seems flawed.

That's been the critique of PFF - its subjectivity...

I believe their scouting, grading is useful in concert with other influences...

No question that Davenport gave us some big runs and had some real fails, but he also made some big plays...

Much like P.J. Williams who was getting smoked most of the night, but unlike most of his teammates, showed that rare ability to force turnovers...

Without the Davenport sacks and P.J. Williams forced turnovers - the headlines after the Red Sox World Series Win are much different with regards to the Saints @ Vikings...

Re: Observations Saints at Vikings

In the 3 QB set the Saints used in the red zone, the Vikings left Brees virtually uncovered. If the teams keep doing that SP has to take advantage of it and throw a pass to Brees.
