Rugby Saint II

I'm not confident in our corners. No one is apparently. We have well documented the loss of players and being down to two UDFA's to start at corner. Both looked lost and Crawley needs some help tackling. Finnegan may be the best option out there. Our secondary will be tested early and often. Damn the injuries!

Leave Breaux on the active roster....cut Murphy because we have several on the roster who can return punt and kicks. Sign C Finn and move forward.

This is one year that having the early bye week will be beneficial. It gives us a extra week early for these guys to come back.

For whatever reason, I don't think Finnegan is coming back to NO.

Maybe they are content with Sterling Moore going forward.

Didn't we move Dixon to the PS? We still have corners that can compete. No pass rush and it won't matter who we have back there. We just need to find a way to win next week. I wouldn't base the flow of the game this year on the game last year. Could be a 17-14 game for all we know.

I know this isn't about Breaux but why the hell did we let pierre warren go? That cat played six games and got three turnovers. Byrd been playing over three years and he has only two. He plays too timid. Idk if coaches didn't like him or what but we can sure use his ball hawking aggressive play, i know he didn't tackle too great but neither does Byrd.

Isa Abdul-Quddus as well for that matter. He played some damn good ball yesterday for Miami.

Yea and he was solid in Detroit too

If Crawley can become more aggressive maybe he could be the starter. I am hoping it was the bright lights that made him nervous. 7 reps of 225 is more than tyrann Matthieu however tyrann is very aggressive since his Lsu days. Hopefully, they can coach him up

Do we look to trade for a starting CB?

Here is the issue with our secondary

Ken Crawley did not excite me as a CB but as a FS in training I could see it. here is why and I saw him as a PS candidate.

Saints signed Colorado CB Ken Crawley.
Crawley (6'0/187) started all four years for the Buffaloes, logging three career interceptions and 36 pass breakups. He offers impressive athletic tools, running 4.43 with a 36 1/2-inch vertical at the Combine. Crawley's tape is more concerning after allowing 19 TD passes in his career and committing 12 pass-interference penalties as a junior and senior. Crawley's plus size-speed combination got him here. Now it'll be up to NFL coaches to mold him into a big-league player

Now De'Vante Harris is a different story. He is a solid developmental CB and yet again PS talent at this level.

Plays with plus instincts and locks in on quarterback to read his intentions. Able to step outside his area and go make a play on the ball. Plays with rapid response to the throw. Understands the game and gets secondary line up. Very communicative on the field. Plays with tremendous confidence. Loves to come downhill and strike incoming receivers with authority. Runs through his targets and delivers as much pop as his thin frame can muster.

Of the two maybe and just maybe De'Vante Harris can claim a spot on the roster. Even then he should be relied on as a special team player and the bottom of the depth chart.

Saints got caught with IR bug and limited availability of talent in their CB pool. When they stepped into major playing time I knew we were sunk. Carr was liking his chops in the fourth with all the turkey on the field. They are not ready

next year has some solid CB talent

Marlon Humphrey Bama appears to be the clear cut #1 and for good reasons

But keep an eye on

Adoree Jackson USC - who seems to have come out this year and tackled the biggest knock against him. So far he is attacking and tackling everything in sight. What I really like about the kids is this: hustle and productive at multi positions: cornerback - wide receiver - returner

disclaimer - Jonathan Allen is still my favorite DL player in the draft.
