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... |

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? :p |

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... |
Re: 2015 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
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 |
Re: 2015 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
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... |

Saints training camp preview: Five players on the roster bubble
NICK UNDERHILL July 18, 2015 The New Orleans Saints spent the offseason retooling their roster and finding ways to create better competition across the board. The idea behind the process was to make players feel uncomfortable and create an atmosphere where players are fighting for every opportunity, snap or job. While this approach isn’t unique to this season, the level of competition at some spots is better than it might have been in previous years. Several key spots will see players battling for jobs at the top of the roster, while a handful of other guys will be fighting at the other end to stay on the team. We’ll count down some of the other aspects to watch for during training camp over the next week, but today we start with a batch of players who will head to West Virginia on the roster bubble: WR Josh Morgan... FB Austin Johnson... QB Ryan Griffin... KR Jalen Saunders... CBs Brian Dixon and Terrence Frederick... Source: Saints training camp preview: Five players on the roster bubble | Latest Sports | The Advocate — Baton Rouge, Louisiana Don't understand Austin Johnson being on this list; thought he's outplayed Lorig, has a friendlier cap number and is a better special teams contributor having also played linebacker... |
