No kidding. He has moves now that he supposedly didn't have when the season began. Either the scouting was bad or he is one of the fastest learners in NFL history. I think it is most likely a combination of the two.

He is going to be a beast for a long time!

Re: Marcus Davenport impact
 

One thing I like to see;

When Davenport makes a play, the entire D surround him to congratulate. They all like this guy.

Early on he looked a little slow off the ball but his first step has sped up and he is literally in the backfield all the time.

If PJ held up for longer than a second, I saw Davenport having 2 more sacks last night.

I think the moment he started getting more reps, the game shifted. He should be starting. We went from having a hard time getting pressure to getting pressure every down. Davenport looks like the type of disruptive player that will end up being worth more than what we gave up for him.

Re: Marcus Davenport impact
 

Yes. He could easily turn out to be a generational player (ie. a player that you can get with a first rounder only once every ten to fifteen years).

And give Eli Apple another week in the secondary I know we'll take out the Lambs in the Dome next week.

PRob would have helped us so much last night. Luckily most teams don't have receivers like the Vikings do.

Re: Marcus Davenport impact
 

His strength really shows here, not to mention that freaky wingspan. He was practically on the ground himself when he made the play, and he still put Kirk on the ground with ease. I remember watching the play live and seeing him fall down I was thinking damn he almost got him, then a split second later BOOM. Those are the kinds of plays that separate great players from elite players. Take Cam Jordan for example. He's a great player and I love the guy, but I don't think he would've made that play. I don't mean that as a slight against Cam, it wasn't an easy play to make. Just goes to show how much potential this young man really has. I bet he's got another big play or 2 coming for us against the rams. Really looking forward to this game.
