Harper was a good SS. Too bad too many fans don't know what a SS is. |

Re: Sunday could be final home game in New Orleans Saints uniform for safety Roman Harper
Very true!! I don't think Harper is the best SS ever but he is much better than most.A good SS is hard to come by. I do think when it said and done V might be the aire to Harper. V has a SS mentality. Look how well Harper played with Sharper compared to with Jenkins, it's really no comparision.

Vaccaro has Polamalu potential, but potentially being better in coverage. Wow! He has a long way to go because his coverage skills are only slightly better than Harper's right now, but the sky is his limit for him. |

A really good true FS is a must to play him that way.

Re: Sunday could be final home game in New Orleans Saints uniform for safety Roman Harper
Harper is a good in the box safety. He's not good in coverage. Simple as that. His salary is his major drawback to the team. For the right price, I would love to see him back in a role with the team. But, if the Saints could find another Vaccaro type player, it wouldn't concern me in the least if Haper and Jenkins moved on.

I'd miss neither and hope Loomis sees the light and replaces both of them this offseason

Re: Sunday could be final home game in New Orleans Saints uniform for safety Roman Harper
I think Jenkins is a lot better when playing next Vaccarro and vice versa. Harper and Jenkins are a bad combination. Either is a lot better when the other isn't on the field.
