Re: stanley Jean-Baptiste

Before someone says that he is a bust or wasted pick you better do a little research on 2014 rookie CBs and how are they performing.

Besides kyle fuller in Chicago who has something like 3 ints in 3 games, he looks good so far.

Yes, he is playing great. But he is early first round. On the other side Cleveland is benching Gilbert.

The guy shows a lot of potential. He may have the best press man coverage skills on the team, he just needs to find that instinct of when to turn and make a play on the ball (this is the hardest thing to adapt to). SJB may end up being the best CB on the team, but we will wait and see.

This is just like all the Corey White hate last year, totally unjustified and now everyone talks about White like the savior...

I'm not hating SJB he might become a great CB, but if Dixon is playing better Dixon should be over him. If SJB's light comes on then thats all the better for us, but I will say I have expected for his draft status he would be seeing some playing time, especially now but he hasn't so far. I also ask myself why would we try out 2 CB while we have him waiting in the wings the only thing that I could come up with is he's not ready. Raw projects take time look at JR.(UDFA), SJB(2nd round) big difference but still raw projects but if Dixon(UDFA) is more ready I'm all for it and if Dixon would become a shut down CB and keep SJB or Robinson or whoever challenged him for his spot off the field I would be fine with it, it's competition that makes things better, from 1st round picks through UDFA.

Re: stanley Jean-Baptiste

Right now, SJB is a liability. Maybe that's not his fault, he's just not ready for the NFL and won't be for a couple seasons IMO

I think we all knew SJB would take quite a bit longer than normal to develop. He was raw coming out and it shows. Dixon may be more game-ready due to his experience at the position. He probably had a smaller learning curve.

Re: stanley Jean-Baptiste

I'd be for bringing Derek cox in, we were trying to sign him before we landed Keenan lewis

If anything he can add some depth to the position and he's showed he can be a good player in the right system

Re: stanley Jean-Baptiste

SJB draws Witten in coverage? any of the others are quick and fast. it will be interesting

Thank you negative Norris. We really needed to hear that.

Re: stanley Jean-Baptiste

SJB's skillset is as starter or not at all. I'm not concerned about him not playing at all. I firmly believe he will be the starter next season opposite Lewis. The person I would like to see get some snaps now is Sunseri. He made some plays and was always around the ball in preseason. The Saints need SOMEBODY to make a play or two. It would make all the difference in the world.
