More tidbits from Cam Jordan.




HOUSTON -- Most people agree the New Orleans Saints' biggest need in the draft is a defensive end, but their top player at that position would like to see the team target another area.

Last year, Cameron Jordan wanted the Saints to draft a defensive tackle to help provide more disruption on the interior. New Orleans proceeded to sign Nick Fairley as a free agent then draft Sheldon Rankins in the first round and David Onyemata in the fourth.

"I'm going to leave the drafting to them," Jordan said Wednesday on Super Bowl 51's radio row. "They seem to be doing well when we go draft a good defensive guy. Now, would I like a high defensive end? Yeah. But at the same time, I'll take a corner."

So he doesn't have to share sacks with another end that may get there first.

If the front line got better pressure our cb's wouldn't have to cover for so long. Allen blitz's alot and they still don't get there. I don't see 2 (Revis types) but I got to agree about getting better cb.'s, ours are made of glass. I fix the front line first and foremost.

They didn't get there much last season with who we have now.

Yeah, we need all kinds of help defensively, Cam. Maybe what we don't need is a teammate talking about what he wants at other positions. Day 1 locker room: awkward

After Lebron's comments, these seem perfectly low-key and reasonable.

Cam Jordan and Mark Ingram need to stay off the twittersphere...

Jordan's comments were in response to direct questions while being interviewed on Radio Row. In no way could they be construed as awkward especially given we had, what seven, corners go down this past season? He said exactly what many here have been saying. I'm sure everyone on the team would agree.

And it had nothing whatsoever to do with Twitter.

Jordan, besides Brees, is the most interview-able Saint on the roster. That's why he is in such demand there. The NFL Network morning show spent an extended time with him on set Wednesday.

Did you hear the interview? He was advocating adding another quality DE and added that they could use another couple of CB's, as well. He is one of the most team oriented players on the roster if you'd take the time to listen to him instead of taking a few printed statements out of context.

Why are people around here so ready to anything said as a negative?

I don't think Cam meant any harm, but in most cases it's not a good idea for someone on a team to make comments regarding draft needs. This can be easily taken the wrong way by teammates.
