He's a Rookie and has to play multiple positions Harper and Malcolm are like 7 years in they don't have room to constantly make the same mistakes over again. I think Malcom should play nickel over vacarro but, vacarro hasn't played terrible there he did a good job on Harry Douglas IMO

Because we're doing pretty well. If he misses ONE STEP in this game, we'll be all over his back. Especially if... well.. I'm not going to speak it.

The guy is in the running for defensive rookie of the year, and if he gets his stuff together and snatches a few INTs I think he can win it. But really the guy does it all and has shined brightly at times. Just give him some time, he'll get better.

If Kenny plays safety only then who plays slot? We have a lot of good players at the safety position would you rather him only play safety and us get burned rather what's happening now?

I'm not the smartest "football knowledge" guy to be sure.

But the guys calls him "solid" then attempts to compare him to the leagues tops safeties with regard to his "impact", which I don't believe is close to fair. He's a freaking rookie.

As a rookie safety starting in the NFL I'll take "solid" with a chance for great all day and twice on Sunday's.

He's a rookie on a team with a new defensive coordinator ... it'll happen, they're all still getting comfortable with each other. I do think he fits the 'play him like Polamalu' theory, but it involves so much more than that and for now you just gotta' let RR work his magic, .

Sorry I don't want my saftey having a lot of tackles are leading the team in tackles. That says the other guys in front of him aren't doing the job and our D sucks.

It's about what's good for the defense and the scheme, not just what makes an individual player shine.

right now i think Kenny is given way to much responsibility as a rookie. I believe there was little faith in White as a CB in the beginning. now with another injury to Greer, White has shown Rob a thing our two.

If Jenkins was a ball hawking FS things maybe different for Kenny also. Despite the improved play of Jenkins i believe he will be a cap causality next year and the saints will go out and find a ball hawking FS

As for the effect the CB have on him it is simple. Greer aint any young and IR as is Robinson, once again and he is another player i see playing else where next year. cap issues or IR issues.

But still we are down two CB and i really do not see an option on the team to change the way Kenny is used. lets face it we are thin at CB and have been and this team is loaded with way to many SS. something has to change before Kenny is played at his natural SS position and be groomed to replace harper when the times come.

benefit of have a SS heavy secondary is run support.
