This is what we expected. Hes raw and hes going to be inconsistent. Sometimes he'll be a monster, sometimes he'll disappear.

Dude our line is set. Okafor, Davenport. Jordan. Davidson. Stallworth. Rankins. Onymenta. How could we possibly get anyone else. Let’s worry about that secondaryWe need to make a move ASAP regarding pressuring the QB. Yes our secondary needs improvement but getting pressure on the QB can also improve pass coverage because the QB doesn’t have all day to comfortably find a wide open receiver.
I don’t think for one second we will trade for anybody that could help us rush the QB but hypothetically who could be available?
The game wasn’t televised here so I didn’t get to watch it aside from some highlights. How did the rook do?
The result was Drew carved them up in the 4th quarterPayton says it all the time,"We have to affect the passer." Saints defense did not affect the passer much yesterday. A consistent pass rush is key to a successful defense. The Ravens put consistent pressure on QBs with only a 4-man pass rush and the result is the NFLs #1 defense.

Here's a thought...Maybe Baltimore's O-Line is just really good.
Cam Jordan got "handled" on more than a fair share of plays as well, but yeah, let's put the lack of pressure all on Davenport to fit a preconceived narrative that he's not worth the 2 first rounders "we gave up to get him".
Outside a few plays where we actually blitzed, we were unable to put pressure on Flacco w/ just the front 4...that's not telling of the DL, that's more indicative of a dominant OL.
He did because he's Drew Brees & we have the best offense in the league. Has nothing to do with our pass rush not being consistent.The result was Drew carved them up in the 4th quarter
