If you could bear to watch the Saints Week 17 season finale against the Carolina Panthers, you didn’t get to see much to inspire. There was some pretty tepid play in the Superdome that day as a few of the big name starters sat out and a preseason-like offensive line was on the field in black and gold. But you did get to see something out of rookie defensive end Marcus Davenport.
In fact, you got to see something of a continuing trend out of him. He plays with a savage intensity that can be, frankly, alarming.
