"The game is the game. "Obviously, if Coach wants to put me there, I'm more than willing to throw my hand in the pile. "Everybody sees the game, but they don't see what's going on in life behind that. "The game is easy," Davis said. And that's what players and families have to go through that no one sees. That's just the unfortunate part of this business, sometimes you have to make difficult decisions. Good players in this league are hard to come by, but it's a next man up business. But more importantly, I think we've got a good room, I think we've got a deep room and no matter who's in there, I think we'll be ready to roll. "(But) he's been a great teammate, a lot of energy, a lot of enthusiasm.

All the explanations I have heard and read about the New Orleans Saints trade of safety/slot cornerback C.J. Gardner-Johnson to Philadelphia on Tuesday.

And all that culture in the locker room could have helped him get his game back on by the time the season opens on Sept. Yes, the Saints are full of talent and depth in the secondary. The offensive line was so good, it could withstand the losses of a player here or there in the seasons that followed. “Then the back end, bringing in the Honey Badger (Tyrann Mathieu) at safety,” C.J.

New coach Dennis Allen, who was defensive coordinator in New Orleans from 2015-21 and enjoyed coaching Gardner-Johnson for the most part, replaced a “retiring” Payton after last season. In 2020, he started 13 of 15 games played and made 66 tackles with 52 solo stops along with 13 passes defensed, a sack and an interception.
