Who will emerge in Saints' logjam of talented cornerbacks?
Early prediction - See us keeping five (5) CBs with my money on Breaux, Lattimore, Williams, Crawley, and Moore...
...with tough outs for Harris, Swann, and Maulet... |
Re: Who will emerge in Saints' logjam of talented cornerbacks?
Thank God we did not trade for Butler.

My money is on Lattimore (the kid in the picture trying to either block a FG or high five God) to solidify his draft selection in 2017. I just see play maker ability written all over him. |
Re: Who will emerge in Saints' logjam of talented cornerbacks?
I would say three of them are talented, and only two could be reliable. It's too early to know with Moore and Crawley.
|
Re: Who will emerge in Saints' logjam of talented cornerbacks?
Shoot, Crawley played pretty well considering his path to the team.
|
Re: Who will emerge in Saints' logjam of talented cornerbacks?
I gotta tell ya, I LOVE the combination of Breaux, Lattimore, Williams, Moore and Crawley. That's a really talented group!

Re: Who will emerge in Saints' logjam of talented cornerbacks?
Maulet figures to be a tough out; in the big scope, it's not a lot of money, but is does show the Saints were serious about signing him...

Problem for the Saints D has been too much passer time (pass rush) and the Deep Safety (Byrd); rarely the CBs last season... |
Re: Who will emerge in Saints' logjam of talented cornerbacks?
I really don't care who ends up on top, as long they earn it and aren't defaulted a starting job bc of injuries or poor play.
I dogged Crawley during training camp because he was really only an above-average college player, but he played well considering what was left around him. He needs a niche- holder, long-snapper, ST gunner...something to keep him on the 53 |
Re: Who will emerge in Saints' logjam of talented cornerbacks?
more DBs the better. now it is all up to the football gods to keep us healthy so we can see what we have.
|
Re: Who will emerge in Saints' logjam of talented cornerbacks?
The more I think about it though, I wouldn't be surprised if the Saints kept six (6) CBs considering recent attrition cost of what easily should have been a 10-6 season...
Gotta feeling that with the way the team recruited Maulet, they'll be looking for reasons for AM making this roster as well... |
Re: Who will emerge in Saints' logjam of talented cornerbacks?
Wouldn't be a bad group...
LCB (2) 40 - Delvin Breaux, 20 - Ken Crawley, 37 - Arthur Maulet (UDFA) RCB (3) 26 - P.J. Williams, 34 - Marshon Lattimore (R1, P11), 24 - Sterling Moore |
Re: Who will emerge in Saints' logjam of talented cornerbacks?
Really starting to like this kid Maulet...
|
Re: Who will emerge in Saints' logjam of talented cornerbacks?
Maulet huh? A possible Malcolm Butler 2.0 (UDFA)?... let's see what he has in camp. Swann and Harris are clearly on the bubble in 2017.
|
Re: Who will emerge in Saints' logjam of talented cornerbacks?
Most likely the starters will be whoever can crawl out of the hot tub and suit up.
|
Re: Who will emerge in Saints' logjam of talented cornerbacks?
It makes me realize how bad we had it last year. We had a logjam at CB this time last year too. Can you imagine if by week 3 this season our starters are Arthur Maulet and some guy not even on the team yet?!
|
Re: Who will emerge in Saints' logjam of talented cornerbacks?
It's nice to actually have a CB coach Aaron Glenn... for what he had to work with last season he did a great job coaching them up.... if ... and that's a big if my friends we can stay healthy we will see a huge improvement of our CB play... The whole defense at that... we have new coaches that I think people underestimate how huge that is.... it's new drills new ideas new atmosphere brought into the Defense room ! It's exciting ! Be excited fans !!!!

Re: Who will emerge in Saints' logjam of talented cornerbacks?
Crawley had a chance to win the NY game for us, he was in perfect position and made an awful attempt, all he had to do was knock it down. Not a fan personally.

He was an absolute theft for us in the UDFA Rookie Market; and, because of injuries, he got invaluable playing time... And, he got better! Know it's frustrating when you see those plays, I feel ya, but he was a rookie man, in his second game, which he hadn't even started... Not banging on you, but asking for some perspective with the lad... |

Re: Who will emerge in Saints' logjam of talented cornerbacks?
This is what I was talking about - young and hungry - like Clubber Lang going into the first bout with Rocky - this is what you want on defense...

Re: Who will emerge in Saints' logjam of talented cornerbacks?
None of it matters if nothing is happening up front.
If we are asking these guys to still cover after a double-move then it's all mute. If they have to bang every week in run support we will be back to calling in reserves by week 5. I'm still waiting for us to find ONE good shutdown corner who can take 1/2 the field away (and pay him). That would make things SO much easier for everyone else. The front 7 can make these guys look really good if they are manning up. But if not, minor weaknesses that get exposed are magnified and can look pretty bad. I would be happy actually seeing our guys turn and make a play on the ball. Cat fighting after the ball whizzes past your ear hole is little league stuff. Kind of pisses me off when I see it at the NFL level. I'm hoping for some improved play up front to help these guys out. 5'-10", 5'-11", 6'-0" and 6'-1" need all the help they can get. |
Re: Who will emerge in Saints' logjam of talented cornerbacks?
Realise, this will be a very, very young secondary that could potentially start two (2) rookies in CB Marshon Lattimore and FS Marcus Williams; one (1) sophomore in SS Vonn Bell; one (1) third season CB in Delvin Breaux; and then the hybrid back in Kenny Vaccaro is in his fifth season as the veteran of the group...
Expect ebbs and flow. Too minimize exposing this young defense, the rotation of the front seven will be paramount. But we should also start to see Pass Defense plays made like we expected when we backed the truck up for Jairus Byrd... |

Was really excited when we replaced Harper at SS thinking we now had someone who could not only move into the box and stuff the run and blitz the passer but wouldn't be a liability in pass coverage like Harper...And Vaccaro hasn't then that much better in coverage... If I'm the Saints, I wait and see what he does this season, then pull the trigger... |

Better question?
who will play at least 16 games? |
Re: Who will emerge in Saints' logjam of talented cornerbacks?
I hope you find someone ISLAND. Fill in the blank.
|
Re: Who will emerge in Saints' logjam of talented cornerbacks?
I think all of them will emerge since their will not be pressure on anyone of them to handle all of it by themselves!

Re: Who will emerge in Saints' logjam of talented cornerbacks?
Can't wait to see this cat @ t/c (Marcus Williams). I really think he can become the next great center fielder at the FS position.

Lattimore, Breaux, Williams, Moore, and Maulet. Crawley if one of those goes down.
