The CB version we saw in 2009 and 2010? Yes

The NB version we saw in 2011? Not at all.

I agree Porter was not impressive last year, being reduced to a nickle-back. Spagnoulo likes bigger press corners anyway, so I don't think that losing Porter was a significant loss in the new system...

I forgot about his preference, but Tracy could bring it for a little guy. He was a lot tougher than given credit for.

I wonder if we let him walk by choice, or was it a money issue?

Well, I didn't see a lot of toughness in those half-hearted attempts to tackle the incoming players' legs, but the same could be said about other guys on the Saints' backfield as well.
