Jenkins, Vaughn or Young

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; I voted for Vaughn just because he's a natural safety and I think he's got the size and speed to be a player in the NFL. That being said, Malcolm Jenkins is going to be one heckuva player for years ...

Re: Jenkins, Vaughn or Young

I voted for Vaughn just because he's a natural safety and I think he's got the size and speed to be a player in the NFL.

That being said, Malcolm Jenkins is going to be one heckuva player for years to come. He has great instincts. My only concern is that he hasn't played safety in the NFL, and in several years.

I know who it definitely would NOT be, and that's Usama Young. Dude is awful.

It's very possible Usama gets cut this year. He was burnt toast on many a passing route this past year.

The light really needs to come on for Young. Last year he just looked lost.

Saying Vaughn (who was a SS in college) will have an easier time converting to FS than Jenkins from CB is silly. SS and FS are VERY Different positions, just as FS and CB.

they really arent

both a FS and a SS cover slots....TEs and RBs

both FS and SS blitz a lot in our schemes and play center field a lot in our schemes

both FS and SS are brought up into the box during games in our scheme

they really arent a whole lot different

the difference is that SS plays a little more man and the FS plays a little more zone in our defense

but other than that there really isnt that big of a difference

Re: Jenkins, Vaughn or Young

usama young looked lost? are we basing this off one play in the super bowl where he got beat at corner by peyton manning?

or are we basing it off more than that?......i dont remember a lot of hating on him this season......i really dont understand it now
