Re: Saints again start slow, sloppy with comeback falling short; here's what happened in Chiefs loss
When UDFA Carl Granderson and 3rd round pick Hendrickson creates more pressure than a guy that two first round picks were spent on, consider me concerned.

Just checked also;
Hendrickson has more Sacks this year than Davenport has in his career. |

Check out the piece Underhill did on Davenport last month. This guy creates problems and destruction as well as setting the edge. Saints can build a competitive defense around Marcus. I'm just not as down on him as others. |

Each time the ball hit two yards short of the out of position player. Thomas makes that read and is right there to make the play ten times out of ten.
And the drops by both Taysom and Kamara were ugly. They each had more than one. I guess you can blame it on Hill not having a pass thrown his way in over four weeks. Somewhat the same with Kamara. He was averaging almost nine targets per game coming into the first Atlanta game. He saw a total of six targets over the next three games. He had six yesterday and only caught three of them. He still managed 40 yards. No telling what he would have had if he held onto the throws. By the way, just checked, Taysom was targeted twice and dropped them both. |

He is very similar to Jordan...not a speed edge rusher but he can be an every down end. He gets a lot of flack on this site because he isn’t flashy but he makes plays and pressures that help others to get sacks. I don’t care who gets them since in a lot of cases it takes a team effort. |
