Less than 24 hours after the Vikings escaped with a 21-13 win over the Carolina Panthers last Sunday, head coach Kevin O’Connell sat down to review the film. He kept noticing pass rusher Marcus Davenport.Though it’s legitimately hard to miss Davenport based on his physical appearance — his 6-foot-6, 265-pound frame is rather imposing — he stood out because of how many plays he made in the game.How would O’Connell describe Davenport’s impact?“Just disruptive,” O’Connell said. “He’s such a force to try to block 1-on-1.”Indeed. Whether it’s hitting the interior of the offensive line with a sick spin move, or hustling to sack rookie quarterback Bryce Young in open space, Davenport proved how good he can be when he’s operating at 100 percent. As he has been battling an ankle injury over the past month, the Vikings certainly missed his presence on defense in the first three games of the season.That was apparent to safety Ca...Dates announced for 2024 Lake George Music Festival
