Saints Rookie Safety Vaccarro Proving to be a quick study

06-07-2013, 08:48 PM

Considering Malcolm Jenkins is completely lost on the field, I think this is extremely good news!

Nevertheless, I don't doubt that Vaccaro is a good collegiate player who can become a good or even great NFL player, but I just see too much Harper in him to be overtly excited at this point in time.

You mean the guy thats the leader in sacks from the safety position between all active players?

I like Harper and to me Vaccarro looks like harper with more speed and better ball skills

Every player struggles from time to time, ive got a feeling people refuse to let the seattle game go

I'm guessing he may not be a ball hawk, but with his frame and athleticism hopefully he can be a great blitzer, a big hitter and a solid cover guy. Can he cover top notch tight ends like Vernon Davis and Tony Gonzales is my big question.

You mean the Seattle game where Harper weren't the only one blowing coverage and the overall scheme was completely horrendous?
