Re: 86-man Minicamp Depth Chart
 

I agree with most of it cajunasian61....except a couple of things.

What is all the hate on Bullocks....was anyone screaming YOU SUCK 2 years ago when we where all but tasting the SB. Bullocks, like everyone else in our secondary is a product of a really bad secondary. QB's are groomed and started for their ability to find the holes in a secondary...and we had a bunch. The whole defensive unit is at fault for last year....not Bullocks. As far as J. David goes....bad decision to pick him up but not because he is a bad corner, but because he is in the wrong system. He is a zone cover corner and I knew he would be horrible in our system.

I do not think that we will cut the rookie kicker. If we do then it will be called the worst draft pick ever in my opinion. Why waste that pick on a kicker if you do not know he can make the team. WR, Safety or maybe in a stretch OL but not a kicker. 4-6th rounds is normally when kickers start going off the board so I would hope that we did not gamble a 6th on a kicker if we wheren't for sure he could kick.

Also although K. Houser is a great LS...it is all he does. Look for the coaching staff to try to find a dual role guy to fill that spot if possible. With all the talent on the field they will try to free up that roster spot with either a 3rd QB or CB/WR....Arrington maybe...we'll see.

I believe I did. Look up 'Ed McMahon' using the search and I'm sure you'll find references to the safeties never being anywhere near the play.

Re: 86-man Minicamp Depth Chart
 

Like I said in my earlier post. I NEVER liked Josh Bullocks. He sucked when we were good and he sucked when we were bad. He is the WORST player on our roster in my opinion. He cannot catch consistently, so he cannot be a significant playmaker. He's a liability agianst the run because he does not tackle well and takes poor angles. For a guy that is supposedly so fast he always seems to be late in pass coverage. Is it only me that thought that KK was SOOO much better when he got the start during Bullocks injury last year? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. Bullocks is not a product of a bad defense. The bad defense is a product of Bullocks. Piece of F^&&*&*% S%@#. I will argue this until I die.

Re: 86-man Minicamp Depth Chart
 

I like that roster. But I think they may keep the LBer who was drafted in the 7th round last year, and maybe cut the CB Glenn. That would keep 6 LBers and 6 CBs. That is just my thought, I don't know what is best to do.

Re: 86-man Minicamp Depth Chart
 

If he is sooo bad at coverage as you claim.....can you explain why over 80% of deep routes thrown on us last year where on the FS side of the field? One man does not make a defense bad. It does leave a hole...but this is not tennis.

P.S. If DB's could catch....they would be on offense!

Re: 86-man Minicamp Depth Chart
 

Ahh excuse me here, I hate to get in the middle of two men :moan: at each other and doing it rather politely I might add.

But That last comment was just not fair.

You just dropped your guard and left yourself wide open here.

Confused :confused:

I will give you a hint.

The starting FS for the Saints is a guy whose name does not end with Harper. ;)

Just thought I would warn you that a sucker punch is coming.

Other than that this has been a pretty good one. I will go back to watching now :cool2:

Re: 86-man Minicamp Depth Chart
 

I was wondering if someone was going to notice that.

Of course, one might add that it was David on that side of the field. That might, at least, make it tough(er) to call.

Re: 86-man Minicamp Depth Chart
 

The point was that the deep balls where trown "on" the FS "side" of the field (ie. the left) not on the FS and if you look at the film...almost never against Bullocks.

Re: 86-man Minicamp Depth Chart
 

thats b/c bullocks was biting on playaction and completly out of position...

Re: 86-man Minicamp Depth Chart
 

Bullocks plays behind MM on the right side of the field. He is never responsable for deep balls down the left sideline. Not in cover 3, not in cover 2 not even in m2m. In cover 1 maybe as over the top help but only during a blitz package that puts Harper on a blitz or maned up against a RB/TE. And as far as our safeties biting on play action....it happens...exspecialy against teams who can't stop the run without safety help..i.e. us.

Re: 86-man Minicamp Depth Chart
 

That's a good point.

Re: 86-man Minicamp Depth Chart
 

Line up is one thing and that changes according the offensive set. But watch the play develop you will see Bullocks plays his FS position like a FS not a SS. They do switch off but for the most part Bullocks is our center fielder. Thats what a FS does. The FS, as a rule of thumb does line up on the weak side and the SS is to strong side. Besides it never looks good when it is Bullocks that is always chasing the WR after he beat David. ok not always but most of the time. That is the side he normally lines up on. Davids which is the weak side.
First I think you need to know where I stand on the safeties on this team. I can not blame them to much for the play. They only played 1 full year together. So I am willing to give them time. Besides I believe the defense was schemed more against the run than the pass. So that would explain the biting on play action so much. Lets see what this year brings before I chase any of the safeties out of town. Lets see how our CB come together and how the youth at DT effects the play of the secondary.
Just remember you are watching a very young group that has not played that much together.

Thanks Hagan. Good points.

I could not agree more.
