Position Battles to Watch Ahead of the New Orleans Saints OTAs

[QUOTE=saintsfan1976;1009942]What I'm watching:

3-4 or 4-3 or hybrid defensive front?
CB

+1.

Saints ranked near the bottom in passing and rushing defense for 2024.

CB is still a big concern for me.

Coach Staley and his staff have work to do.

Goes back to a common sentiment approaching the draft - so many holes, it'll take 2-3 seasons to fill.

Asante makes sense now, but cut downs will be intersting...

Could the Eagles part with Kelee Ringo and is he ready to be a full time boundary CB?

Ringo and Kool-Aid in a zone heavy defensive scheme would be ideal in my opinion. Ringo is 6'2". Kool-Aid is 6'1". Let them play zone and keep everything in front of them. Cover 4. Send five and six in creative ways. Make teams make quick reads and decisions. Speed at LB'er. Size at CB. Range and intelligence at Safety.

I don't think it'll take long to fix at all. One player here and there with the right philosophy can completely change a team around.

Ringo could be traded for and under Team control for 2 years. And I think he's buried on the depth chart. Needs a fresh start.

Lord knows we've done enough for the Eagles...

Agree with your sentiment in that the turnaround can happen fast.
