Saints cut Isa Abdul-Quddus
 

Saints place Parys Haralson on IR, cut Isa Abdul-Quddus | ProFootballTalk

I didn't see this on the site. Please delete if I reposted it. I thought Abdul-Quddus was going to be a starter after last season. We still haven't signed a CB so I'm thinking Keenan will be in the game Saturday. I like all of the activity from our coaches/GM...they aren't sitting back and are going after this game.

And, of course, I just found it...dah!

Re: Saints cut Isa Abdul-Quddus
 

So I guess he actually wasn't better than Harper/Jenkins.

Re: Saints cut Isa Abdul-Quddus
 

Thought he was a promising player. But couldn't get on the field this season. Clearly Bush surpassed him. I do think Bush and Vaccaro are the starting safeties next year.

Re: Saints cut Isa Abdul-Quddus
 

Which one is the third in the 3 safety sets? Think we'll go with Harper, Jenkins, or will we get someone through the draft or free agency?

Re: Saints cut Isa Abdul-Quddus
 

It was Harper, Jenkins, Vaccaro... With Vaccaro on IR it has been Harper, Jenkins, Rapheal Bush

FOOTBALL OUTSIDERS: Innovative Statistics, Intelligent Analysis | 2013 NFL SNAP COUNTS

If you look at snap counts for the season it would suggest that Jenkins Vaccaro as 1 and 2 with Bush coming in for the 3 safety sets.

Jenkins 84 %
Vaccaro 81%
Bush 53%

Well Harper missed most of the season with injury and was brought back slowly so I'm not sure if snap count tells us much.

We also played some 4 safety sets in our dime package with KV, RH, MJ and RB.

Vaccaro also played NB, SS and FS.

Re: Saints cut Isa Abdul-Quddus
 

Every safety we have was injured at some point and missed games.

I like Bush and Vaccaro as a tandem, but Harper has some specialty roles he fits in well. Personally I think Jenkins is more of a liability than Harper. I just bash Harper as much as I can for you Danno :)

Re: Saints cut Isa Abdul-Quddus
 

We need a ball-hawking FS, I'm with you, draft 1 and let Junkins go. Yes it is spelled right.

Re: Saints cut Isa Abdul-Quddus
 

Calling an active roster safety junk while we are still in playoffs? C'mon man.
Try not to let the door hit you on the way back to Atlanta. :D

Re: Saints cut Isa Abdul-Quddus
 

Jenkins has above decent coverage skills. He's not the best tackler. I still see him more as cb than any safety position...

Re: Saints cut Isa Abdul-Quddus
 

With all the injuries we have in the defensive backfield, I thought we couldnt afford to cut anyone in those positions.

Re: Saints cut Isa Abdul-Quddus
 

Funny!!

Re: Saints cut Isa Abdul-Quddus
 

If you are Pete Carroll, would you try and bring Isa Abdul-Quddus onto your roster now?

Knowing him, IMHO yes.

Would ISA go? Maybe, a chance to get a ring, and a little pissed how things turned out with the Saints.

Re: Saints cut Isa Abdul-Quddus
 

Thought IAQ was going to be good. It takes more than talent though.

Re: Saints cut Isa Abdul-Quddus
 

It may be that IAQ just isn't a good fit for Ryans defense. We've seen the square per round hole effect on good players before.

He'll probably catch on somewhere and do well.

Re: Saints cut Isa Abdul-Quddus
 

I never saw this coming. Especially now.

Re: Saints cut Isa Abdul-Quddus
 

Bush was still playing quite a bit even before Harper got hurt though. He played 22 snaps in week 1. I think that our brilliant DC recognized that he's a pretty good player a long time before any of us did.
