Marcus Davenport wants to play more 'violent' brand of football

New Orleans Saints first-round draft pick Marcus Davenport made his regular-season debut in Sunday's loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

His takeaway from the game: "I want to play better."

Specifically, Davenport said he wants to play more "violent."

"Just more precise on my technique and being able to play with violent hands and violent feet and explosion," he elaborated.

Davenport played 32 snaps in the game, logging a tackle, a QB hit and a pass defensed. The breakup was a near interception that Davenport felt he should have had.

"That's my mistake," he said.
