Saints sign Demario Davis (Mod Edit: Bumped old thread)

More PFF love. Apparently his week 3 game against the Dolphins was the best performance by a linebacker for the entire season.

On those 14 run defense snaps, Davis also managed to contact the ball carrier in the backfield twice and on the three occasions when Davis was the first defender to contact the runner, the offense lost almost an average of a yard on every play. All of this helped contribute to his run-defense grade of 88.7, his highest of the season and the fourth-highest run-defense grade of his six-year career to date.

However, as impressive as Davis was against the run, he was arguably even better when he was tested in coverage. Throughout the contest, Davis logged 44 coverage snaps and was targeted seven times. While he did allow six of those passes to be caught, he allowed just 18 total receiving yards, with just nine of those yards coming after the catch.
