JP -

So who is your #2 CB? Mr. Mansfield (Adebo) or Crawley? Green Bay/Rodgers coming with 4 sets.

Mine or Sean's? If it's Sean's, it'll be the healthiest of Trufant or Crawley...

You know I'm not scared - play rookies, that's how they get better, stop being rookies...

Point well taken however tread with caution on starting rookies on those boundaries. Dee Milliner Justin Gilbert and DeAndre Baker … former 1st rd CORNERS and also busts. Lose confidence early and it’s over.

We have Kris Richard on our side so I trust he’ll do the right thing with the secondary.

Remember that old quote from Parcells …”I won’t throw a player to the wolves unless I know he has a little wolf in him

“. Maybe Adebo is that dude.

That video of Paulson Adebo on that hotel balcony, howling let's...goooooo!!!, is still playing in the loop...

Unfortunately we have to have our first game with one of the smarter
passers in the league. Arrogant Aaron will expose the weak spots very quickly.

Our defense usually takes three to five games to get going. They did this knowing Rodgers will have a field day unless the pass rush can get home early and often. We haven’t played the packers early in season and won in recent years but playing them later in the season we have won.

Without a good push up the midle of DE's will not be able to really rush Rodgers. They need to stay home and contain him so he isn't allowed to run free on the outside. Without Onyamata pushing the middle Rodgers will probably have time in the pocket to dissect our defense. I expect to see even more blitzes than we had last year.

Good player. Made his money. Got a chance to win. Will be a silent difference maker.

Decent enough signing. Hopefully he gets it done.

I can see the Saints needing to abandon man to man coverage and go cover 2 zone to try and mask potential weakness on the opposite side of ML.
