we have our wr1 and wr2 and Slot (WRs)

why not the same for CB?

CB1 CB2 CBn and CBd ?

CB (1) Keenan Lewis,

CB (2) Patrick Robinson,

CBn Corey White, Stanley Jean-Baptiste (R2, 58),

CBd Champ Bailey, Rod Sweeting,

Not sure where the others will fall into
Trevin Wade (ERFA), Derrius Brooks (FC), Terrence Frederick

Dam pass happy NFL is going to make teams really deploy a most specific set of CB.

Hagan, think the problem with that is some teams have a Wes Welker in the slot and others may have a Marques Colston in the slot...

Many teams use a press coverage, sometimes with a little zone (hybrid defense), but either way, Defensive Coordinators are trying to get matchups so different CBs will get different locations because of their assigned opponent matchup...

Saints did not address the slot pattern in the middle off the defense that killed us last year. no MLB or jitter bug CB.

that is one reason i really like Verret. man on man all day with these pests

Bucannon was the Int. Machine, quickest fastest and mean hitting SS of all the FS and SS in the draft. He would have been a big plus in this area. he would have almost shut down the mid range all by himself. limiting it to a short pass in front of our ILB giving them a better chance of impacting the play. If thy missed he would be there to hammer them ;)

oh well expect that area of the field to once again be wide open all season long.

Khairi Fortt (R4, 126); Saints selected him to play ILB, pushing Lofton/Hawthorne...

Re: 2014 New Orleans Saints: Depth Chart

Roster adds?!?

Like to see us bring in another power running back...

Another Flex Defensive Tackle (NT/4Tech) for depth...

And I guess Payton is telling the offensive line you can't be hurt because we won't have anyone behind you - wow?!?

Also, we brought in another UDFA RB that has a lot of potential.
