Saints' Kenny Phillips hoping to revive career in New Orleans

Look at his competition..

Vaccaro
Byrd
Bush
Warren
Sunseri
Sanford

We should keep 5, but maybe only 4 if we keep 6 CB's.

Keep in mind we may have to keep and extra DE/LB or two due to Galette's injury.

Talent wise? Byrd is the only competition on the list and even then Byrd wishes he was as good of a tackler. Vacarro can not hold a candle him as a safety. Phillips does not play line as well.

in a perfect world you would have all three on the field in a three safety set.

but but but can he stay healthy ??????????

Hagan, agreed on Byrd. I really hope he can stay healthy for us.
He can be a playermaker (something we lacked badly last year) but I won't hold my breath on Vacarro. His overall technique & tackling skills have been a huge disappointment thus far.

Maybe Allen can coach him up.

Edit: To your point RSaint, Kenny P is talented & has proven ability to move up the depth chart. I thought he would be as good as Sean Taylor coming out of Miami. Those injuries though...

On his highlights you see the way he plays the ball, it's very impressive - it's just that damn knee injury that keeps reoccurring.

Bush has been rumored to be trade bait off and on for awhile. This could help move that along. Vaccaro and Byrd are the best we've got, behind them no one else has the experience and ability that Philips does. I would put him at the 3rd or 4th best on the roster.

I wasn't surprised to see Sunseri go on IR last year knowing how Payton thinks. This year he will have a feel for the system and could show us he's worth a roster spot in a crowded field.
