Saints Signing CB Desmond Trufant

Not the player I was expecting however CB depth has been a position of need for sometime now.

Adding a seasoned vet is always a good thing, not to mention Adebo needs a mentor. Trust me, Aaron Rodgers WILL target the rookie on Sunday & I’d hate for him to lose confidence early.

Let’s get it on Sunday.

Who were you expecting out of curiosity Major ?

I don't hate this. Had a great rookie season and with the right coaching he could be a nice comeback player.

Conley(Saints love former Buckeyes), Kirkpatrick or even Sherman before the incident. I thought Dre K played pretty well last season.

Exactly how will Trufant mentor Adebo in any way better that Lattimore can?

No disrespect to Lattimore but the more veterans in that secondary film room the better. PRob retired, Crawley lost confidence and PJ isn’t a true boundary guy. Not a lot of vets with real #2 experience if you asked me. This was a depth signing. Probably nothing more, nothing less.

Losing Jack Rabbit was a big blow.

It gets real on Sunday.

Our flirtations with ex-Falcons continues. Eventually we will hit on one of them!

Lattimore needs to focus on himself and his own inconsistencies in a contract year

After Booby Hebert, Morten Andersen, among others (Andersen still stings for me), we're due..

Trade Williams? Do we not recall the days of the Available/Not Available Jairus Byrd? Two great downs of defense only to give up 3rd and 17? Never getting off the field?

Folks had better wake up to Mr. Marcus value and set aside that one BS play; Elite Defenses all have one thing in common - an Elite Safety...

Adebo is gonna be the goods, #BePatient

Desmond comes from a family of Cornerbacks, his Brothers Marcus and Isaiah both played in the League.
Don't think your going to find a more experienced player out there.

Hebert has been a little more booby of late. :D

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 :p“. Maybe Adebo is that dude.

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.

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

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.

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.

Especially considering he got burnt by that Lizard guy vs Packers last time.

We at least had Curtis Lofton for a while, who wasn't too bad.

Yeah, it was borderline in my mind, but now that you were first to call it, I'd second say he was a solid backer for us...

Best I've seen on the Packers is that teams that have a really good CB1 match him man v man against Adams, and then zone on the others, with cover 1...

And a zoned pass rush to keep Rodgers from ripping runs will frustrate the heck out of him; pressure in his face and at his feet will win the day...

Alexander vs Callaway will be an interesting matchup as well.

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.
