Example of one of the six sacks:
One question swirling around Who Dat Nation is whether Marcus Davenport, the small school defensive end the Saints spent two first-round draft picks on to nab in 2018, is improving and pulling his weight. The only way he’ll satisfy fans is by filling up the box score. Meanwhile, his tape shows he’s probably keeping the coaches pretty happy.
Jordan got the first sack of the night, but it was Davenport playing the facilitator role that makes the play happen. Over the past couple of seasons, the Saints defensive line, primarily with Rankins and Jordan, has excelled when running twists/stunts to create pass rush lanes against opposing offensive lines. In this iteration Davenport is going to crash down inside against Houston (and former Saints) guard Senio Kelemete before altering his path upfield to take on tackle Laremy Tunsil. Davenport also manages to interrupt the running back’s block attempt, and anytime you can clear out three players in a stunt, you did a very good job.
