You know, Loewen and Shy played pretty impressively tonight...

Know everyone is focused on Loewen's over-aggressiveness that negated the INT in the endzone, but he also made several plays where he ran down running backs on the other side...

And I really hope we don't have to cut Shy or Loewen when Ony comes back next week, but we're gonna be cutting loose a real good player...

Davenport no longer the starter? I only don't like it because it speaks to lack of trust IMO by the coaches. If he isn't starting by week 4 he's officially a bust.

A bit premature for that label.

Saints coaching staff will continue to get him snaps. Especially considering what they gave up to get him.

Saints had 6 sacks tonight. Two I know for sure were a result of Davenport pushing the pocket and Trey cleaning it up.

In Davenports defense they were showing tunsel dominating him but damm he repeatedly jamming his hand to his throat and face mask may have took a finger to the eye. Anyone else see that?

They showed 1 clip of Tunsil stoning Davenport, that’s after Tunsil poked him in the eye. A lot of what Marcus did won’t show up on the stat sheet. I saw a guy that put Tunsil in Watson’s Lap numerous times, allowing other guys to get those sacks.

Hear hear! I have no major complaints on Davenports performance. Some issue with contain but that happened all across the board.

Precisely.

Davenport didn't get there but he made life easier for others to lay hands on Watson.
