He has started four games and seen ample action in New Orleans' other five games while playing a hybrid role as either a 3-4 outside linebacker or 4-3 defensive end, depending on the often changing alignments the Saints have employed this season under new coordinator Rob Ryan. He's accumulated 14 tackles,China Football Jerseys, two sacks, three tackles for losses, five QB hits and also has broken up a pass.
"He is a veteran player. He is a physical player. There was a good fit, not only physically as a football player, but also as one who has had experience and been a part of a winning program," Saints coach Sean Payton said. "There's a confidence level about him that he brings and it really worked out well for us, just with his level of expertise of playing outside linebacker. He is versatile in that he can give you rush snaps and I think he is an outstanding teammate." |
