I think Sherman has proven successful at more than just "zone coverage"

But '76, has he done it in the last three-four years?

He had an elite 2019 year and a decent 2020 year for being hurt. 2018 was okay, but 2017 was good. I’m warming up to the idea if the contract is right.

A few years ago...

Herein lies the problem - Sean wants for a long time...

...But a 2020 calf injury limited him to just five so-so game appearances, and now he’s a free agent before turning 33 on March 30.

That may not deter Payton and the Saints, though. They have a history of gambling with past-their-prime stars, ranging from Sherman’s one-time teammate Brandon Browner to Champ Bailey, Kurt Coleman, Adrian Peterson, and Olin Kreutz....

The Saints will bring in another boundary vet opposite Lattimore. Not sure if it's Richard or someone else but we need a proven vet to help & mentor. Consistency was a problem with Latt. Maybe adding Sherm along with the teachings of Kris will bring out the elite, shutdown corner we all believe he can become.

But for me personally, we need to move towards the youth movement & subsequent draft. Take our lumps in the secondary like Tampa did.

Elijah Molden, Horn, Newsome are high on my CB prospects.

I was hoping we landed Awuzie in Free Agency but he's a Bengal now .

The last thing I want is another db from Seattle. The last one committed a Penalty every other play and let the wr catch the ball on the ones he didn’t.

It’s not that I don’t think he’d be serviceable, I’d just prefer somebody with more speed. He can play that Cover 3/Cover 1 defense the Saints are so in love with, but I’m not in love with the idea. The thing about fan opinions is too many of them are linked to whether or not they like the player. He could come in and be Darren Sharper kind of catalyst in the secondary. And he does a hell of a lot for the community. I’m with K Major though, per usual.

Yes. That's true K. But so what? I understand it's a team sport. And I root for the team.

But the team is full of individual players. Some people dont like some individual players and would prefer not to have them on the team for whatever reason.

I'm not a big fan of loudmouth show off players or players that are more interested in themselves than the team. Or players that I feel have questionable ethical issues or are or could be a distraction on or off the field.

Hell, some fans may not like a player because they played well against the Saints in the past or because they cheap shotted a player. There's tons of reasons.

Same goes with coaches.

I work in a team oriented profession. And although some people may be good at the job, I would rather not work with or want certain people on my team for various reasons. It could be work ethic, how they treat other team members, supervisors, community members or their own family. Production is not always what's most important to me.

Just my 2 cents. And I'm sure its because I'm 42 years old and maybe I'm a bit old school.

Doesn't matter in the end really. That's just my opinion. And like the saying goes, everyone has one but not everyone will agree with each other.
