Defensive picks finally working out.
 

Cam Jordan might be our best draft pick in recent years. Okay, maybe after Graham. Good to see some of our defensive picks working out.

We've added some really good looking talent to the D

Cam Jordan
John Jenkins
Akeem Hicks
Glenn Foster
Tyrun Walker
Kenny Vaccarro
Raphael Bush
Cory White

Nice!

(I know they're not all draft picks but however they got here I'm glad to see it.)

this is a great start. next year the starting three should be humming.

interesting growth to watch so far.

Re: Defensive picks finally working out.
 

Interested to see how much better we can be with Coleman, butler and white emerging or grabbing another young corner like Keenan lewis

Re: Defensive picks finally working out.
 

Wonder if we will stick with Vilma or Smith after this year.. Hopefully we can draft some nice tall corners this year.

Re: Defensive picks finally working out.
 

If we dont get a taller corner to play opposite keenan lewis, i'd expect corey white to take over the starting spot, greer isnt getting any younger and corey is bigger than him

Re: Defensive picks finally working out.
 

As decent as our D is playing now, I would love to see them with Butler and completely healthy. We might actually have a dominant D in this league if we were healthy. They guys we have have stepped up very well.

Re: Defensive picks finally working out.
 

I think this might be their last year.

Re: Defensive picks finally working out.
 

Vilma and Smith will not be here next year unless they take absolutely unreal discounts in new contracts. Even then, there will be concern over keeping older players in live roster spots. Vilma's knee concerns me in the long-term. As for Smith, more than happy to have him as a depth player if he costs league minimums otherwise he will likely be on his way.

Patrick Robinson looked good before his injury, he could flourish in this new system.

Re: Defensive picks finally working out.
 

You're right. Forgot about him.

Re: Defensive picks finally working out.
 

I've said since he got hurt that Vilma has seen his last season. Maybe even his last game in a Saints uniform.

Re: Defensive picks finally working out.
 

I'm more impressed with the guys we didn't draft like Junior if you watch the game today watch how he was getting off the line sometimes he reminded me of Pat Swilling. He almost timed the snap just just right.

Re: Defensive picks finally working out.
 

I can see Vilma playing this year but not after this year and Will Smith is gone to.

Re: Defensive picks finally working out.
 

Agreed... Junior and Parys Haralson were beasts off the edge today!

Re: Defensive picks finally working out.
 

Rob Ryan.

As soon as galette beat the TE and had a clean run to the QB, thad lewis was done for. Our front 7 are relentless

Cam, Galette and Hawthorne especially are having pro bowl worthy seasons

Re: Defensive picks finally working out.
 

You know I had almost forgotten about Parys Haralson. You rarely hear his name. Not that that means he isn't doing his job.
