CORNERBACKS ANALYSIS: The Saints addressed their weakest position by adding free agents Randall Gay and Aaron Glenn and drafting Porter. Gay and Porter could push starters Mike McKenzie, who is coming off knee surgery, and Jason David, who was awful last season. Gay is intelligent and versatile; he can play several types of coverages. Porter is more of a speedy cover corner who can match up against deep threats. Most important, the Saints hope their improved pass rush will lessen these guys' exposure to deep passes over the top. Grade: C-. Pro Bowl-caliber players: None.

Jason David was not the only person in the secondary, who will play better this year. And with a better pass rush all the secondary will be better.

As soon as David stops looking at the QB and starts looking at his man, his man coverage (at least) will improve. I don't know why it took him almost a whole season to figure that out. With a little help from the pass rush, he should (at least) look like a better player.

Well put. Im guessing his penchant for a Cover 2 defense where you play face up towards the QB caused him to struggle in our defense. But with an added pass rush, he should certainly be more comfortable turning his hips and his back away from the QB and truly play his man. I think he will surprise some people with his play this year.

just put David in the slot already. Plenty of safety and LB help there. Let Gay, Young, Porter fight for the 1 and 2 spots. Odd man out get to fight for nickel and dime with David. We got nothings to loose. we are the bottom of the NFL in pass defense already. We need to flip this around.
