harper......it shouldnt even be close

harper is one of the best safeties in the entire league and he doesnt even get the recognition he deserves from his own fan base

will smith is our defensive captain and rightfully so as hes the longest tenured defender on our team and still one of the better DEs in the league

vilma and greer are probably next behind harper and will smith then id have to go with ellis and shanle

i want you guys to realize something about our defensive line......we blitz more than any other team in the league and because of that, we face more max protects than any other team in the league. our pressures are up but our sacks will never be at the top of the league because teams know exactly what we are going to do every play.

because of the guys in our secondary like harper, jenkins, greer, porter, and robinson we are able to send so many guys at the QB. not only does it help us in coverage but it helps us dictate what kind of play the offense has to make

Harper and Greer are no doubt the most important players on our defense.

And about Harper getting trucked, what SS wouldn't get trucked on a Jacob's full blast open field tackle?

It seems Harper is good for at least 1 embarassing play a season. Last year, ran out of gas after an int and ran out of bounds and getting steamrolled on national tv by Brandon Jacobs last week.

Saints won both of those games, so whats your point?

Brees. LOL. He's the best thing the defense has going for it.

Harper and Tracy Porter.

The problem with some fans are they forget that there is another team getting paid to win. Teams are suppose to make plays so someone is going to look bad occasionally. Harper wins a lot of battles. He's our most effective tackler. Personally I think he gets as much love as Devery Henderson. I wouldn't cut either one of them.

You had me until you brought up Henderson.

I like that the Saints have a WR like Henderson available but I haven't heard much from him this year. I'm missing the comparison.
