USA Today/Saints Wire: Saints snap counts, Week 11: Was Marcus Davenport demoted?

Barry from MS · 11-19-2019, 08:12 AM

His 1st step is usually slow...he who hesitates is lost. The only time I've seen him quick is on 3rd & really long where everybody knows it's a pass.

Teams have run to his side on passing downs or the QB escapes for big runs on his side...recent example was the 23 yd by Winston. He's pushed the pocket but loses contain which has burned us.

He needs more film work. He needs to study more.

Maxx Crosby of the Raiders, a 4th round pick this year is only 1 sack shy of Davenports total in 2 years.

When a guy we traded a first round pick or two to get, is getting less snaps and getting outplayed by a 6th rounder in T-rex, something is definitely wrong.

There is an article out from NOLA.com and Sean Payton provides good perspective on MD's minimal snap count on Sunday's game vs Tampa.

Why the Saints defensive snap counts looked different than usual against Buccaneers

Davenport and Hendrickson play different roles in the defensive scheme.

Marcus D could turn into Bruce Smith/Julius Peppers and some fans would find a reason to link what the Saints gave up to get him

.

I trust the Saints scouting dept/front office brass on drafting and developing talent. They are "hitting" a lot more than missing over the last 3 years.

David O \ Vonn Bell
AK
Chauncey G Johnson \ Erik "the real deal" McCoy (impact players as ROOKIES)
Davenport

Trust and believe.

Don't care how Payton spins it, you spent that much draft capital on a guy that's not on the field as much as Cam Jordan (Cam cost one first round pick) then Payton's draft management should be questioned...

Davenport's responsibility is to be in the best shape he can be, be fully prepared in film study and game-specific scheme for that week, and play 100% to his abilities...

The fact that Payton stupidly overspent on the draft pick is not on Davenport, nor should it be, it's on Payton...

That said, I'd like to see more of the Davenport that flashed earlier in the season, but he's only had one game where he saw 50+ snaps - one; and that has to be concerning for all who love the Saints...

Watch that play again. I believe it was a stunt where Davenport came from the end to the middle and Rankins went outside and he didn't go wide enough. Pretty sure this is the same play.
