I like Harper but you line him up against most TE in the league he's going to get beat. I guarantee you that you will never hear "that was a great coverage sack by the Saints". Our secondary was our biggest strength in 09 and now its a weakness. But im a secondary guy so I might be a lil bias.

I don't think there is a safety in the league that can cover today's breed of TE's. Name one that can cover Jimmy Graham. We have to get up on the guys at the line and knock them off their route and mess up their timing. This 10 yard cushion is killing us.
