Handwerger: Saints seem to have missed opportunity by taking safety

i would not line him up in the slot against any jitterbugs. they will eat him alive like any other safety.

He's a corner who hits like a safety.

With his leaping ability and athleticism, he is our best bet at stopping Gonzo.

Handwerger seems to have no idea what he is talking about

The defense as a whole took a step back, it wasn't just Reid. The Tigers for whatever reason didn't generate a lot of pressure last year as they did in the past... and that definitely coincides with the secondary production. They also started to freshman corners so the continuity and chemistry wasn't always there. When one part isn't functioning as it should, other areas can take a hit along with it.

With that said, he certainly should have made more plays last year. The pressure, hype, and weight of the defense was too much for him to handle. San Fran was the perfect fit for him to grow into a very good player. They're strong on every level and he just needs to play his part.

"Seemed to have missed" That's what you say in the event he is an all pro and defensive rookie of the year or a complete bust.

when do yall think he wouldve been drafted if we didnt get him at fifteen. My other question would be if we couldve traded back and still drafted him.

I wonder if Handbanger feels the same way tonight?

A new safety and a new corner can give this secondary a real make over.

Ok I see what he is saying BUT the 2 players he gives as an example aren't ones I wanted though
