Re: 2021 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
I don’t know if they make Marcus Williams the “rover” in the Cover 3 or Cover 1 very often. I wanna say he’s usually pretty deep. I’ve seen them line Jenkins up right next to Davis, but I haven’t seen that out of anybody else. I think it’s pretty smart on passing downs.

Re: 2021 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
They have to when you have LBs a as crappy as the Saints groups have been under Payton. Outside of Davis, Vilma, and Fujita, there hasn’t been a one with the talent to play for any other team in the league.

Now with pass defense rules handcuffing defense, you're just putting bodies on bodies and requiring passers be highly accurate and receivers have reliable hands... Today's NFL Linebacker is nothing more than really big and fast rover or star backers covering TEs and RBs... But now it's pass to open the run... |
