Neither one of us is right or wrong. I'm not disrespecting your opinion. You have yours and I have mine. No one is right all the time. It's not a question of right or wrong. It's about polite civil debates. Maybe we can meet in the middle and keep our self respect. Who Dat!

Re: Honey Badger: Elite ot too old?

He will get some opportunities this year to make some plays. The CB's will largely have their guys on lock down. I can see him having six interceptions this season. The defense is legit.

six interceptions... highly unlikely. He will not even "stick" the receiver anymore. Too old. :beatnik:

Re: Honey Badger: Elite ot too old?

The production of the defense will depend on whether the defensive line can pressure the QB and/or stop the run. Pressures lead to INT's. Chase Young obviously has great talent but its never been totally clear if he is the same after injury and his effort has been questioned. Cam Jordan at an advanced age coming off a season stolen by a secret twisted ankle that is 100% better and is absolutely the worst injury to have at that age but fortunately never recurs or leads to worse injury is a big question mark. Payton Turner can't stay healthy. Everyone else on the dline has never been better than mediocre. And our linebackers are not known for pass rush. So are many INT's possible? Sure. But we would have to pressure the QB. Maybe the quietest subject in Saints history needs to be brought up: If Bresee doesn't start he is a bust no matter how he 'looks.' You don't spend 1st round picks on year 2 backups.
