Good opposition will make that happen...

Which is what every SS in the NFL struggles with. If you put Troy Polomalu on an Island with Jimmy Graham or Tony Gonzalez, Troy's gonna get beat a lot.

Ideally every team would like to isolate a safety on a receiver. Drew does it a lot.

SS's aren't CB's.

We look stronger at safety than we do at corner. I can see a lot of three safety packages........don't forget Harper is very capable when he's blitzing. Also he is normally a good tackler, unlike last year when the whole defense sucked, couldn't tackle and the yards after contact was pitiful......but I digress. I still feel good about Harper.

I feel just OK about Harper right now. My only concern is I've never gotten a solid answer on how Ryan uses his safeties.

If he uses an in the box safety (traditional SS) then I feel really good.

If he likes interchangable safeties that require deep coverage skills (like 2 high, Tampa-2 or Cover-2), I don't feel so good about him.

Drew'll take Rob to school if he pulls out the Tampa Two on him.

Drew'll take Rob to school pretty quickly if he pulls out the Tampa Two.

If Rob pulls out the Tampa two Sean Payton will take him to school.

Tampa 2 = Saints 6

IIRC we were owned by the Tampa two for quite a while.
