Saints' secondary ... What a difference from last season!
 

I\'m still not sold on Brown. Don\'t get me wrong, he is an amazing athlete and has decent NFL potential. But I still feel he is a below average starter. He either needs to make a great improvement or we need to find a replacement.
However, He is hardly a concern compared to the rest of our D (with exception to DE). Until we stop the run, no corner will live up to their potential in NO.

You said it all Spk, we are alot better off then at the same point last year or so it would appear and the plot thickens or the pot thickens, oh what the hell, I\'m just happy to see us really filling some needs this year. Don\'t be surprised if a FA linebacker is next, then the best defensive lineman with the 16th pick and the best linebacker with the 40th or trade Howard for someones first pick, then there would be three defensive picks within the first 40 or a QB?

We tend to forget that Fred Thomas is still on our roster. Out of all the years he\'s been with us, only last year did he have a bad season. He did sustain some injuries and if he\'s healthy, I think he would make a great nickel corner. Remember before he resigned with us last year, he was heavily courted. Do yall realize that he was top 5 in the league breaking up passes(previous 2/3 seaons combined)?

I have to agree with Papz. Freddy had a terrible year last year but, you never know. I think he can still come back and be a good nickel, however, the fact of the matter is he is being PAID like a starter. That alone might be the downfall of him unless he wants to take a pay cut. I doubt he could be used for much of a trade. But you never know.
