Patrick Robinson....

Porter??? WTF. He's the most solid CB we have. He blows up screens to his side and gets past blockers to make a tackle for a loss.

Robinson I give you but Porter is a stud when he is on an island out there.

Porter hasn't played well this year at all. He was beaten by 5 yards on that fade last night.

Porter has regressed quite a bit the last two years. There's a good reason Robinson's the starter now.

I'll give you that he had a good game yesterday, but I still think he misses too many tackles.
As for numbers, he has zero picks and 5-6 passes defended.

I was hoping Robinson and Porter would push each other more this year.

I personally think Greer is having an excellent season and might be the better of the two.

I have to blame the coaching on their play at conerback. Why are we giving the 8 yard cushion and then sitting back to wait for the play to come to us instead of attacking the play. No way our DB's are that slow that we can't jam them at the line.

Overall, fellas, we've got a great group of D-backs. Even Harper got run over last night.

The Giants scored one time too many for my comfort, but they are the Giants, led by Eli Manning. They are going to score.

Tackling will always be a problem, or so it seems. And that cushion that the corners are gifting must be a G.W. call or else it would be reduced.

Porter has more tackles than any other Saint, but he is missing a step or two from his peak year of 09-10.

Another potential interception bounced off (was it) Jenkins' chest. Wow.

Porter is actually SEVENTH in tackles, and usually his high tackles games are when we are getting lit up: Rams, ATL, GB. Th goose egg for picks is still there also.
I defended him early in the year, but now think he needs to really step it up

Thats because the D-Tackles are not getting them.

I don't think any linebacker or defensive back wants any of Jacobs after he has gotten up a head of steam. Harper was annihilated by him.
