Exactly, but like Danno said, having tall CBs isn't necessary to compete - even though having them will probably make it easier to compete.

True. If you gave me a choice between a 5-11 Deion Sanders, and a 6'4 Deion Sanders, obviously you go with the taller one. No one disagrees with that.

But as I pointed out, you don't have to be over 6'0 to play CB wellin this league. If a 6'0 CB has an 6" vertical advantage over a 6'4 WR, you don't have a problem.

Wait a minute, I thought we wanted some players that could tackle....

No - We do not know our 2013 strengths and weaknesses on defense yet, and Ryan is not going to know that answer until he puts the players through their paces. It's not always the tools in the box but how you use them.

If you refute that statement then you also believe that it has nothing to do with utilization in Ingram's case... He is just not that good.

Furthermore if its the players that are either good or bad solely based on that merit, and neither utilization nor Spags influenced how bad our defense was in 2012..... then... having Payton back will change nothing in 2013.

Ah...

...I'm on-call at the office and I'm reading the proverbial 'bigger is better' debate this late night...

...we should bring on Ron Jeremy and a panel of "experts" to discuss the benefits of how a bigger "cornerback" would bring more pleasure to Saints Fans!!!

That would be epic!

Oklahoma T Lane Johnson is visiting the Saints on Tuesday.

The team has a huge void at left tackle, but without a second-round pick it could be tough to move up and secure a top three tackle. A more viable solution could be to trade in the opposite direction and possibly target Terron Armstead or Dallas Thomas.
