Lewis has shut down everyone he has played against... He is by far the best CB the Saints have had in 10 years.

As for white he is an upgrade over Greer. We lose depth for the nickle and dime but Jenkins and Vaccaro can fill those rolls.

Not to knock a guy down after an injury like this, but I agree with you. I think Greer has been the weak link in the secondary. He gave up a TD vs Chicago early in the game that he basically didn't switch off his man near the goal line, whereas Vaccaro (the rookie) did. Greer tried to follow his man on the rub play and was made to look foolish falling to the ground, easy TD to Jeffery. Greer looked like the rookie on that play.

And he lets the Patriots receiver do the only thing that can't be allowed, to get behind you for the game winning catch. That was disgusting defense and cost us the game.
