Personally, I think SJB is even better than.... ummm.... Let me get back to you on that.

Well, we still have a training camp to geaux through...

But, yeah, looking like we found a solid third corner in Del Breaux!

Take our time and develop the two rookies in Williams and Swann...

Maybe Dixon can make a case for a sixth cornerback as he deserves...

And it isn't a full hate-on for SJB as he's just a kid wanting to be in the NFL...

In somuch as the colossal blunder of his assessment and second rd selection...

But he better realize that sh*t is real now and he better get it in gear...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Right now or by the end of camp?

I'm with Hagan on this theory of not admitting a draft mistake and keeping him. And I'm willing to throw 2014 out the window.

And what did you find "impressive" about him? The fact that he was close to the receiver while his head was always turned the wrong direction?

jeanpierre

Dixon? Sure he was an undrafted rookie that got burned, and he's got some technique issues to refine...

Refine, not learn. SJB still doesn't appear to know the position and he's got training camp to learn CB?!?

Don't dispute SJB will have a "default" advantage as a Round 2 pick with great reluctance to cut ties and issue a mea culpa...

Look, we'll keep five (5) corners, max; crunch the numbers, considering past health issues at safety, we keep five (5) corners...

Think all will agree that as of right now, Lewis, Browner and now, Breaux look like our top three corners...

Barring anymore OTF BS, remaining candidate pool includes PJ Williams, Dixon, Jean-Baptiste, Swann (R), Frederick and Davis...

P J Williams is the probably odds-on favorite rookie we keep, so that leaves one (1) more spot...

And it'll come down to Dixon, Jean-Baptiste or the other rookie Swann...

Now Swann could be a wild card as he can also play some safety; Byrd/Bush and Vaccaro/Sunseri; so Swann could be up against Warren...

But Warren is also the only guy that has shown a propensity to intercept the ball, so...

So because of Swann's flexibility, which could be enhanced with special teams; he's likely your guy...

And if Warren gets pushed out, that leaves Dixon and SJB...

And we have Dennis Allen now to help make that decision...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

I read recently that Payton plans to use Spiller as a KR?

I hate when he does that...

K Major

Agreed and I felt that way last season when we had Cooks fielding punts.

My sleeper S/T player in camp will be ... Marcus Murphy.

You local guys get a lot more info than someone like me. Here in Sucs territory I here a lot about Jameis Winston

Defensive Line seems to be the biggest concern right now with both depth and injuries...

Hicks injury is said to be not that serious...

Bunkley injury/age is worrisome, he's is invaluable, albeit expensive depth...

Need Foster back, healthy, and at the level he had been playing or he could be cut...


Frontline should be Cam Jordan, John Jenkins, Akiem Hicks...

Probably keep seven (7) defensive linemen; injuries look like they'll linger into training camp...

If Kevin Williams rounds into shape, the Saints will keep him, but at his age?!?

Won't know what we have in any of the rookies till the hitting starts...

This will be the big puzzle for the 2015 team...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

I think it's time to ditch looking at our roster as a base 3-4 defense. Our base defense is a 4-2-5. Our starters right now would look like this:

LDE: Cameron Jordan
DT: Broderick Bunkley
DT: Kevin Williams
RDE: Anthony Spencer

SLB: Stephone Anthony
WLB: Dannell Ellerbe

LCB: Keenan Lewis
NCB: Delvin Breaux
RCB: Brandon Browner

FS: Jairus Byrd
SS: Kenny Vaccaro

jeanpierre

With Galette in the lineup, yes, I'd agree with that assessment...

But Spencer is more of a 34 OLB than Galette...

In these past OTAs, Spencer was playing ahead of Galette in 1st and 2nd downs...

Based on the personnel drafted, I'd say we're finally moving to more of a 34 base...

And in the nickel, we've played a third safety, Raphael Bush, more than a third corner...

We're playing more nickel because we're seeing more pass plays and we haven't had the pass rushers that we'll have going into this season...

Now the roster is starting to have the personnel to support a true 3-4 base...

And Hicks probably still will be starting over KW...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...
