Browner is the CB you want on those big TE and WR

IN PRESS MAN COVERAGE ANYTHING ELSE AND IT IS TROUBLE

Do not play him off the line and do not ask him to react in space. It is not his game.

HE MUST BE ALLOWED TO JAM AND MUG IN THE FIRST 5 YARDS

It is that simple.

That is why Lewis being out has hurt Browner and the saints. He is not a #1 CB and he is not what i call a #2 either. He is better as a specialty CB against slower taller WR/TE. That is it. no more no less. Dude is lost in space.

Think of him as the Rocky of CB not an Apollo Creed.

He could not react to stop a B-Slap to save his life. J

BUT just do not let him get his hands on you.

Put him at OLB. Dude is huge and nasty.

spkb25 · 10-03-2015, 07:59 AM

my guess is that Swann may end up being a top cb in this league. This dudes reactions and skils are insane, to me anyway. I just havent seen us with a rookie this good at that position in a long time. i have been on this kid for a minute. How crazy is it we mved back to the 5th for him. Great great move

Swann reminds me a little of how Tracy Porter looked in his second season with us, except Swann is much more physical.

Plus Tracy Porter had arguably the best safety of all time behind him, whereas Swann has Vaccaro or Phillips.

1) Delvin Breaux is rapidly ascending and there's no way his phenomenal play can be ignored for long. He is truly a starter who should be covering the top WR's.

2) Damian Swann is right there in the mix with Breaux. He deserves to be our nickel CB.

3) Kenny Vacarro sucks covering TE's.

In my opinion, Browner is our 4th best CB just in terms of all around ability. If we moved Browner to strong safety he may be an upgrade in coverage over Vacarro and that would make KV trade bait.

I wouldn't make any decisions regarding defensive backs until we can get some sort of pass rush. The talent is there, it's by far our most talented position group when healthy. You can have a backfield full of Patrick Petersons and if the defensive line gives the QB all day to throw they are going to get burned every time.
Kenny and Browner are good players and will excell on any defense that has a pass rush.

You know how in basketball you have a guy on the end of the bench and he usually is only put in the game for a few minutes to be physical and commit fouls? Browner would be perfect in that role, except it's the wrong sport!

Breaux is doing fairly well but can someone teach him to turn his head and look for the ball?

Breaux reminded me of clubber lang last night. He was all over his guy. He could have been called all game long, same with Browner. They were lucky to get called like they did.
