The CB and Linebackers may not be the best but they got us into the playoffs last season. And we have depth at both positions. There have been several people on here that have suggested Humber should start ahead of Hawthorne. Corey White ended up starting after being 4th on the depth chart. These same personnel made up the 2nd best pass defense and the 4th best defense overall in both yardage and scoring. They may not be top 5 again this season but they should be close. And they're young enough, they'll be back next season. On the other hand... We have NO depth at any offensive line position. In the preseason Bryce Harris was bad and Senio Kelemete was terrible. If one of the Big Uglies goes down for any length of time, the Saints are hosed for the season. Only one of the 5 starters is under 30. Even if they do make it through this season, how many more seasons will they last? The Saints will have to replace 4 over the next few years and they're going to be pretty cash strapped to try to build almost an entire line through free agency. Just my 2¢. |
