He was getting starter snaps this year anyway, which might explain why Okafor left. Last year we were teaching him the techniques to be a pro. Nielsen is a really good coach and with a year under his belt I can't wait to see this amazing athlete attack the QB. He was fun as hell to watch get after the QB or chase a RB down the line. There is no quit in that boy!

His film and stats are impressive for a rookie and he should only get better. I do believe that he will be a dominant force for years in the black and gold.

Check out the play starting around 3:00 ... he didn't get the sack, however "pressure" caused Foles to rush the throw on a crucial 3rd down. BTW, Davenport's bull rush was against #71 Philly ALL PRO/Jason Peters.

I think he took out two backups in that Carolina pre season game. From what I've seen, Marcus is coming up big on 3RD DOWNS.

In his young, short career ...we've seen "flashes" of greatness coming off the edge.

I like how his very first NFL sack came against another All Pro Alex Mack, literally bull rushed him back in Matt Ryan.

They should really rename "turf-toe" the name doesn't do it justice. That crap plagued Ingram for a couple seasons if I remember correctly. Its a sprain of the big toe and for an athlete that has to 'push off' it can be debilitating depending on severity.

Some good information on it. And yes, a severe case pretty much leaves you without the ability to push off with that foot.

I really hope injury doesn’t become a common theme for him throughout his career.

Is there any reason to believe that it would? Or just looking for the black lining?

It really set back Mark Ingram for a couple of years. It can linger indefinitely and never fully heal if you rush back to running too soon. I hope he comes back strong and doesn't rush himself back. It seems like the staff is being cautious with him.
