Are the young bloods on d really better?

What's the verdict? Can they keep it up? I like what I saw, but at the same time it was one game, it was the Bears, and there was no film. What do you guys think?

I loved what I saw but I have to control my enthusiasm a little... The Bears were a complete disgrace last night and quit very early in the game. The real test will come next week against the Failclowns. With that being said, I think we know one thing for sure: Pierre Warren is too talented to be on the bench next season. I know Byrd will be back but this kid is a natural who needs to be on the field.

Pierre looked too talented in preseason, yet he did not make the final roster as he should have. What happened there?

If Payton and Loomis really want to "fix" things, they'd better re-examine how they didn't select for even the practice squad a player who so obviously flashed in pre-season that he was a favorite. A big miss. Underscored by a future need to sign him off the Vikes' PS....and then START him.

Don't think so. It appears we cut him from our PS and Vikes signed him in Oct. It was a surprise.

New Orleans Saints roster, practice squad: A closer look at 3 newcomers | NOLA.com

November article above says: "Pierre Warren

An undrafted free agent out of Jacksonville State (which he left after his junior year), Warren was a standout in training camp. So it was a mild surprise when the Saints cut him from the practice squad.

The Minnesota Vikings added him to their squad in October, and he worked there until he was signed to the active roster by the Saints this week.

Warren is familiar with the defense and showed a knack for making plays in camp. While it's hard to imagine him playing a lot on Monday night, the Saints have so few options that it's possible."

We could just play two-high with him and warren leaving kenny to play a hybrid role next year.

Agree about Warren but who do you bench Bush or Vaccaro? We have room for 3 safety sets but not 4, and I think Bush is better than Vaccaro at just about everything. Maybe we should trade Vaccaro while he still has some value.

Tough call. Some of that will depend on who our defensive coordinator is next season. My initial thought was to let Bush go but I have no real reason for that.
