Now healthy, Saints DE Marcus Davenport eager to show off his 'new normal'

Davenport is a physical freak but he hasn't played football his whole life and he isn't conditioned to take the beating. I've seen it happen to several new rugby players who were wrestlers, soccer players, or other less demanding sports.

Valid point! But we can't deny the production when he's ON the field. And when he's playing, his impact is felt immediately.

Vs. LA Chargers:
15 pass rushes, 6 double teams, 3 pressures, 1 QB hit, 1 TRIPLE Team which freed Demario to hit the QB and saved a sure TD to Mike Williams (Lattimore)

This kid is only 24 yrs old. He may have rounded a corner on the injury front but he sure as hell is looking like anything but a bust.
