 All right, all right, all right. I'll tell you one thing we enjoy around here Hearing from the actual man himself the man Named in the title the man showcased by the NFL the man on Screen de Mario Davis linebacker for the Saints It's a name. I recognize it's a name. That's hard to forget It looks like James Harden mixed with T-Pain, but that's just my opinion. Let's continue Bunch of guys, okay, talk to you at the Pro Bowl as well. So we're not gonna cover any of the same ground Tell you what you put some um, you put some T-Pain glasses on and geez See what I'm saying although we're gonna try and get you to be less humble about yourself. Oh, man But he's a humble guy. He was definitely on the list last year This summer tomorrow a little bit. What's it like having him playing for me? He plays like the Terminator Whenever so they've got Cameron Jordan and De Mario Davis lining up as defensive ends Wowie he makes a decision to where he's gonna go. He's going full speed and whatever is in front of him is getting destroyed There's some great linebackers in the league, but in terms of the middle linebacker coming down in My bad. He's a linebacker like imposing his will on players. There's probably none like De Mario This time the handoff to for hold De Mario Davis lands Oh Folded them like a dick shit and defense the last like five years now and it starts with the front seven and he's in there The Mario was the leader of the same defense who has a great defense, you know, I feel like they go as he go De Mario Davis led the Saints and tackles again in 2021 eclipsing the century mark for the fifth straight season. All right, let's look up some stats I was blown away by these last year and They haven't stopped clearly. He's been in the league for 10 years January the 11th 1989 he's 33 years of age six foot two 250 pounds went to Arkansas State drafted third round 2012 draft pick 77 Jets Browns Jets again and the Saints for the last four years He's never been named to a pro bowl. Would you believe he has had one first team all-pro selection in 2019 and Two second team all-pro selections in 2020 and 2021. He won the Bartz star award last year, which is for the NFL player who best exemplifies outstanding character and leadership in the home on the field and in the community and As of week 18 2021 he had amassed over 10,000 career tackles 29 and a half sacks three force fumbles six fumble recoveries to a deceptions and 41 passes deflected Okay, six foot two to 20 Pre-draft he's put on a little bit of weight Runs a four five two forty-odd dash 38 and a half inch vertical 10 foot four on the broad jump 32 reps on the bench press That is insane. There's a video here to watch this combine work out. I wouldn't mind doing that But I'm not going to on September 12 2020. He signed a three-year twenty seven million dollar contract extension with the Saints and As we said before 160 total games 1027 total tackles, what are we averaging seven per game? Not bad every single year being in the league for ten years. What a legend. Let's get into it When he gets a hole whether it be a guard full-back or running back He gonna look he gonna get his feelings across Inside hand off to the cat. Oh hard by DeMario Davis. Oh God, not only the hit by DeMario Davis, but he gets twisted up between two other players as well That's not nice. He's like the apex, you know captain, you know what I mean? Like he could defend the run. He could defend the pass DeMario Davis on Chanu Smith and watch Yeah, you'd be happy about that. I Mean, I ain't gonna lie. He looks like the um, he looks like the bad guy off of um the way that those the way that those dreadlocks are Flying around honestly looks like a bunch of snakes coming from his head, which reminds me of nothing none other than Pirates of the Caribbean Leverage on that crossing route so we can make that looks like a spider a cross a tarantula the body of the receiver His plate recognition Superfast is communication is tackling in open space covering blitz in the quarterback getting off line Way to stay alive and do it all if they let him throw the ball you probably try that too Let's have a look at that play. When did he see the quarterback? Communication is tackling in the space covering Okay, so even at this point he doesn't know whether the quarterback is gonna go up the middle or not But he decides to turn on the inside Quarterback and love love Maybe he did know maybe he did great play though I mean he can do it all if they let him throw the ball you probably try that too Davis did it all in week seven versus Seattle leading the Saints in tackles tackles for loss quarterback hits and sacks It was one of those games man Defensively, we just knew we had to get stops and I know going out each and every drive that a big part of that is you know guys counting on me to make plays and Guys trying to block me. I felt unblockable Late in the game. We have been setting this play up all day You know, I kind of been going away and then this one I faked like I was going away and I came all the way back around The line didn't pick me up and Gino didn't see me to the last minute. I was able to get him and Then you know kind of last play of the game. I knew the quarterback was scrambling away and DK would run across the field. So when I saw him coming across I just took off I just abandoned my responsibility and it was there should have been an exception. Oh Should have been Geez he did well to get there. I was gonna matter myself. I dropped an inception one of the better leaders in this league I think the best linebacker in the game is all around. There's not much that he doesn't do well I ain't gonna say the best linebacker in the game. That might be a little bit of team bias there, mate But at the end of this I'll make up my own mind Guys, we're back at another running back. Cordell, Pat Cordell, Cordarell Corderoi, Corderoi Pants. His name's Cordell, I'd say Patterson For the Falcons. We've seen him multiple times on this list thus far and he comes in at number 73 Thanks for watching guys, and I'll see you in the next one Peace
