oh please no. one thing to make a pick that you need to think on how to use and it is another to kick a 1st rounder out on the curb after 2 years. then again we have seen how well some of our past players over the last two years are doing else where in the NFL. so it is obvious Rob is making all the right calls

It's probably due to the fact that Pierre Warren is the only free safety on our roster at the moment and the kid might need a break every now and then or god forbid if he gets injured. Since it's an idea we've been kicking around for a while now and we have no depth at the position now was the time to make the switch.

No.

However, I could see White pushing Rafael Bush out of the rotation, especially since Bush only has one more year on his deal and White will come a lot cheaper. And they are very similar players.

Bingo. Rafael Bush will be trade bait or flat out cut. Corey White offers versatility as a back-up free safety who can play CB if needed.

But Bush >> Vaccaro...

Trade Vaccaro while there is still a market. Bush is a proven asset at safety and played well for us as the SS... why would you can that for a guy that's never started as a safety in the NFL and couldn't cut it as the #2 CB...

Don't get the hype.

I love the way Vaccaro is being thrown to the wolves for being poor this year after a exceptional first year where as Bush seems to be getting put on a pedestal even though he started 7 games this year.

This is Bush that so far in 49 games for the Saints with 13 starts has 1 interception,1 forced fumble and 0 sacks.

He is a good player but nothing that cant be replaced

I imagine Bush and White are both possibly goners after this season... I was looking at it as a one or the other scenario when I said that. Bush hasn't shown that he's any better than Vaccaro.

PFF ranking last year had Bush rated in the top 6. Considering Vaccaro just got beat out by two guys that weren't even on the roster to start the year I am going to have to say Vaccaro is a bust AT THE SAFETY POSITION until proven otherwise. We keep trying to fit square players into round holes...

Damn... A player can't even have a sophomore slump nowadays.

PFF ranking are pointless
If any safety can be top 6 without a sack, interception or forced fumble tells he wasnt a top 6 S
