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

Davenport is invisible near enough every game day, yet fans constantly give him a free pass. As soon as Trey comes in, he immediately beats the guy Davenport was against for a near sack.

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.

I see your point but T-rex was drafted with our 3rd pick in the 3rd after Kamara and Anzalone

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.

Dizzle, Hendrickson was drafted in the third round, but it's of little consequence...

Maybe I'm getting older, maybe, just maybe, a little wiser, but don't hold where a guy is was drafted against him...

Be p*ssed at your team, the GM, the HC who overspent draft capital to acquire him...

Davenport's responsibility is to be at work/meetings on time, in-shape, and to give max effort toward team success...

I'm just not gonna be p/o'd at Davenport for what it took to get him, only if he doesn't do those things mentioned...

While I've been in the minority, it was another in all-too-many draft gaffes by Sean Payton who's as good as he is in offensive scheming, he's that terrible in personnel management...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Benching can bring out the best in a player. Let’s see how he responds.
