Harper - please to see him playing again. Yes!

McKenzie used to excell at his technique when he played for Green Bay. Just before he became a Saint, the NFL changed some of their rules in order to protect receivers a bit more, making some of McKenzie's technique illegal. He's had to readjust the way he plays over the last few years. Early on, he struggled. He also showed a lack of enthusiasm by taking plays off when we had bad seasons.

However, when he feels inspired, he plays more ferociously than anyone else on the field. He's extremely aggressive and confident and it steps up his game. I also think he's managed to readjust his technique over the past few seasons and has once again obtained a level of excellence.

Hollis and M&M both have that defensive mentality that we need. Aggressive with a nasty streak. Imagine a CB good enough to force M&M to the #2 roll. Now we are talking. I hope young reads this. I am counting on him.

Mr Hollis. With or without inhaler, you really notice when he is not there. I for one would never get on the wrong side of him.

Both are playing very well right now. We need that to spread among the rest of the defense. The defense did play better Sunday though.

Don't worry - you could drive for hours and never reach his other side. Guy looks like a mountain stuffed into a halter top.

usama young needs to be our #2 and get J.D, out. I know he makes a lot of money but he is just too short and not that good.

call me crazy but i think MM plays well every year! he might not be the best corner in the league but ....thinking before i say this......yeah i believe he is the best in our division. hall is good too but has a attitude problem. MM's problem is that he has never had support in the secondary until now a little with harper. I believe Craft could give him some help but i am not one of those guys that likes to tell coaches who to play. they obviously know more than any of us.
