1) Jenkins/Harper - 2 of the worst Safeties in the league last season

Harper is an old SS which is a no longer needed in todays nfl.
Jenkins i think will have a good year.

2) Saints Defence a RECORD SETTING worst of all time


it was the DC not the players.

3) Rarely do you see a 1st round pick NOT starting for his new team especially if he is drafted in the top half of the first round


he is Harpers replacement in my book and will be groomed for that.

Also, I'm a little bit on the fence with Lofton. Clearly the odds are in favor of him being the other starting ILB, but who knows how well he'll fit into that role having only been the MLB in a 4-3 previously?

i agree and would not be surprised if we have major turnover in the next three years at LB. now i really like our DC for picking LB. I may knock him on a lot of things but he has a proven track record building a LB corp

Except when Ryan pulls out the "46" in short yardage situations, he lines up the SS in the box... Harper is the best safety we have then...

sorry typo there it was meant to read "old school SS".

if he played 20 or 30 years ago he would have more than 1 pro bowl under his belt by now. but those days are gone. rule changes have hurt the SS role more than any other position in the NFL. CB next.

all for offense and ratings. my kids will never know the way the game was meant to be played.

i like Harper but he is caught up in the wrong time of the game. sorry about the typo
