Re: The 2017 Byrd quandary
Got to agree. I wouldn't mind another monster to go along with Rankins and Davidson. I think we resign Fairley, he's been decent enough to keep. I don't think Jenkins stays.

And are you referring to John Jenkins? He was released over a month ago. Saints release defensive lineman John Jenkins, source confirms | NOLA.com |

They'll be good guards in the mid rounds as well... Don't understand national pundits having us go after CB... Sign RG Kevin Zeitler, and we can pretty much let the good players fall to us in the draft... |

Better cover guys can help this effort by playing smart and not being behind the sticks on 3rd downs (Defensive Coordinator). Letting teams catch the ball 5 to 7 yards in front of us when they need 7 to 8 yards for a first down is a gamble that continues to hurt us. We have to have cover guys that can pay Man Coverage in these situations and not use their hands beyond the 5 yard allowance. This is my issue with D. Breaux. No doubt he is good but he has to get his head around and go after the ball. I am simply not seeing him elevate his game. (I was mistaken in and earlier post when I said he was the most penalized CB. he is not). His play is hurting frustrating in so many ways I could right a book about it. PLAY THE BALL! DON'T TOUCH PULL AT THE RECEIVERS! I digress. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |
