Re: Who's Position Does Vacarro Take? Jenkins or Harper?

His coverage on slot receivers and TEs in that area is suspect at best. The league has changed. A SS that you only ask to give run support is a dinosaur. KV by all accounts excels at both run support and covering slot receivers. Harper only does one of those things. I will add that his hitting is good. His tackling is not. He goes in a straight line. Lateral quickness is not and never was his strength. |

Seriously, the answer is P-Rob. Jenkins moves over to Greer's spot, Greer to P-Rob's and P-Rob moves over to where there's no bench. |

Re: Who's Position Does Vacarro Take? Jenkins or Harper?
I think he takes Harper's place but not this year, I think it's NEXT year or even 2015 when Harper's contract is done. With the exception of Reggie Bush and Jimmy Graham, the Saints have a pretty consistent history of NOT throwing rookies into the fire, unless forced into the lineup by injury. That includes the sparing use of Ingram during his first year which had everybody mystified. I bet our first year's look at this guy is going to be watching him chase down kick returns on special teams, just like they did with Patrick Robinson and Malcolm Jenkins. But I like the pick, I'm just not expecting miracles from him right out the gate.

If Spags were the DC again this year, I'd be surprised if Harper made it to training camp. But with Rob Ryan running the defense, I think Harpers ability to "lay the wood" on QBs and receivers crossing the middle will give him the edge in the safety competition. Just my opinion though, only time will tell. |

Re: Who's Position Does Vacarro Take? Jenkins or Harper?
Payton is on record saying how he loves that KV is very versatile and actually played a lot of nickel in college, how they had to go back and dig up tape on him actually playing safety etc..., so an added answer to this poll should be "neither" or at least "nobody's job this year."
Next year though, well Roman it was nice having you. |
Re: Who's Position Does Vacarro Take? Jenkins or Harper?
So lemme get this straight, Harper and Jenkins were placed in a zone scheme that required both of them to play deep a lot. Many thouhgt it was a good fit for Jenkins, but not a good fit for Harper (including your's truly)
And when the season ended Harper ended up being graded better than Jenkins, even though Spags scheme wasn't friendly to traditional SS's and certainly didn't play to Harper's strengths, while it did play toward Jenkins' strengths. And everyone apparently thinks Harper's spot is the one Vacarro is gonna take? |

We should ease the young man in... if he beats out someone, then he deserves it. If he's going to replace anyone, make him earn it. |

Vaccaro now, might be one of the big names to come out of the 1st rd of this years draft when you start looking back in past years drafts and probowlers/starters. |

4th DB we have taken in the 1st round - maybe 4th time is the charm?
