Are our receivers good enough to give our secondary meaningful reps in practice?
 

With our historically untalented receiving corps, I am starting to wonder if this is a disadvantage to our defense too? How does it affect our corners and secondary like Lattimore, Adebo, Williams, and Jenkins to be unable to practice against NFL level talent between games? Wouldn’t it be hard for them to adjust to the speed, cuts, route running, etc of real NFL receivers in game action after practicing against a bunch of undrafted free agent nobodies and busts who are washing out of the league? I am just wondering if this is another consequence of ignoring the WR position. I imagine that in practice Lattimore is basically texting his girl emojis, binging netflix, and playing online games while he bats away passes to our receivers with a pinky finger. Does Lattimore have to let our receivers win sometimes in practice, like when I am playing tic tac toe with a little kid, so that our qbs get a chance to throw to an open receiver?

Our offense and defense do not practice together, there is very little to be gained by the Saints defense practicing against the Saints offensive playbook.

Absolutely not a challenge at all. Watch our last few games again then get back to me
