Hell no. Some other team would pick him up in a heartbeat. His talent is just too great.

Absolutely no way a second round pick will make it through the waiver process...

It could be the first time in history that all 31 teams place a claim on a cut player.

I guess I'm the only one who actually likes what I've seen from SJB. He looks like he plays the run very well, the times he has been beaten he actually has had good coverage. He just needs to learn to get his head around.

I don't know why people are so down on him. If you want someone to be down on look at Wade and Sweeting those two are garbage.

As far as SJB goes, skies the limit for that kid. IMHO.

I'm with you. Watching him last night, I thought he had good coverage overall and made some good decisions out there. Plus he was good in run support. It will be a typical rookie CB year for him, with high and low points, but I think he'll really start to blossom in year two.

The positive I've seen from SJB is that he's in the receiver's hip pocket. He's just not locating the ball.....yet.

Like the run toughness though

Agree and that's a good thing. Locating the ball will come with more experience.

As a Saints fan, I hope he gets it turned around; felt there were better options in a deep draft class at CB...

Second rounders need to contribute immediately...

I watched Pierre Desir the other day, you wanna talk about someone who looks lost. Just had to throw that in there.

He looked MUCH improved from game 1. The guy has all the tools.
