Who's T-pain?

Greer is one of the most underrated CB's in the NFL. Robinson led our team in INT's last season. Patrick is going to be a badass with a full offseason to prepare with the team. I'd say combine them with Torrence and another diamond in the rough CB that we find in the draft and we're set!

More like T-Go_for_the_legs_and_watch_him_run_past_you than T-Pain.

That's kind of like saying "With the hundred dollars in my wallet, the 500 dollars in my bank account and all of the gold I plan on finding by digging under my garage, I'm a millionaire!"

I do not know who T-pain is, but I hope it's not a reference to Porter, who is not exactly a big hitter. Or any kind of hitter
Robinson had FOUR interceptions last year, so yes, he led us, but that's kind of like saying 'not all of you failed today's test'

I'll stick with: we have some athletes back there, and hopefully we can get some pressure this year and help them out

Really you can't put Greer on elite WR. Sorry but that's hilarious. Greer should have been a pro-bowler yet again but he got hosed. He had 18 PDs only 3 behind Revis and now we are saying he can't cover...

I guess everyone forgot how awful the pass rush was last year. Let me remind everyone the M.O of our D was to leave the DBs out to dry while sending 6-7 pass rushers and we still failed to get to the QB. You can't expect anyone to cover guys like Calvin Johnson for 5 secs man-on-man.

Our DBs are the strength of the Defense, if we had an average pass rush every DB we have would go to the pro-bowl.

Greer is one of the best coverage CBs in the league.

Greer is very good and very underrated by everyone but the Saints. Give the man a decent pass rush and watch the rest of the league take due notice...
