If Laron Landry slips to us we need to just pick him up, he's a stud. But I really would like to see a DT or CB, or a really good LB.
laron will most likely be a top 10 pick
Freddy gets no help over the top a lot of times so he's going to look bad more often than not, especially when the Safeties are backing up the run. When Hollis gets back, the run defense will be much stouter up the middle and there will be more support for the edges.
i agree with the help over the top but he still gets beat easily on double moves... he tries to play bump coverage and i dont think he is fast enough against some of the guys he is going up against....
Actually, Thomas has played better as the year has progressed. He was burned on that play last week, but his coverage the rest of the day was damn solid. However, I do think that we need to draft a young cornerback. We've got to look at the cap situation long-term. With the money currently going to Brees, Horn, Duece, and Reggie, I don't think cap-wise we can afford to sign Clements or Samuel. It'll kill us in the future.
the cap is expected to go up by 10-11 mil next year and we should have plenty of cap space to sign anyone we want... we should be about 10 million under the cap right now... and with the increase... we should be golden
