the problem is the saints did not address Welker type CB in draft or FA or UDFA. we have no one on this tean till a player steps up and unseats Robinson on the outside. even the PRob is more fast than quick.

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.
