Totally disagree Dizz, Dixon is a quality reserve cornerback for us; Jason David was just plain awful...

De'vante Harris signing, his size and alma mater (5' 10", 176 lbs) has Defensive Backs Coach Aaron Glenn (5' 9", 183 lbs, Texas A & M) all over it...

Yet another indicator the Saints select draft picks from their own insider network and rarely get out and scout a player...

I think "quality" may be a little too much credit for him, whenever he's been on the field I've only ever seen him get beat.

Agreed that Jason David was terrible and got beat often, but he did notch 6 interceptions in 2008 so in my opinion he's still better than Dixon.

Dixon to me is the Travaris Cadet of the defense, gets all the chances in the world even though he's very average.

Lewis
Breaux
Swann
Wilson
PJWilliams
Brian Dixon
Brandon Dixon
Ken Crawley

Jairus Byrd
Kenny Vaccaro
Jamarca Sanford
Alden Darby,
Vonn Bell

I look at the list 13 and still hold the belief depth at both Safety and CB position should be filled heavily with Hybrids. I have been sold on this idea for a few years now. Unless your really good at either CB or S you need to be a solid all around DB in todays pass happy NFL

All but Lewis, Breaux, Williams are expendable in my opinion

Perhaps, but last year Wilson proved he was pretty good in the slot.

And Swann is a playmaker. Obviously the concussions scare everyone.

The Dixon brothers are pretty good special teams players.

If he makes the team, thats great. But he's gonna have to earn it obviously. I'd say right now he looks like a prime PS player unless he plays lights out in camp and pre-season

We usually only keep 10 db's, and 5 will be safeties. Maybe with Bush and Sunseri gone we only keep 4 safeties and 6 CB's. But with so many 3 safety sets I'll bet we keep 5 safeties.

Byrd, Bell, Vaccaro, , Sanford, Harris and a few UDFA prospects may push Sanford.

The top 5 are pretty solid unless someone gets hurt.

Even then we might be looking at 4 CBs on game day if we start running more 3 Safety sets.

Those last4 are definitely beatable. He could definitely make this team.

He is very impressive

Hang on a damn second there.

Are you telling me this kid wasn't taken in the draft?

Everyone knows that the scouts and GMs and coaches NEVER miss on talented prospects in the draft.

There no way he could....imagine that.... START in the NFL one day....��
