I'll say this about Cover-2, don't know if it's the answer or more just better execution, but I'd thought we'd run more Cover 2 ...

...especially to stop this bullshinski the past couple of seasons of allowing waaaay too much 3rd and long conversions...

Re: Saints secondary is aiming to be the strength of the defense

Early going: Six (6) Cornerbacks - Lattimore, Breaux, Williams, Crawley

Next group - Moore, Maulet

Final spot - Harris and Swann

Rough start for Swann, but he's picked it up...

Moore and Maulet have to show higher ceilings...

Harris needs to take the next step...

Why do you like Banjo over Harris?

Moore is proven, durable, consistent, and brings a little leadership to the position.
He's not a pro bowler and probably never will be but you can usually count on him.
Swann just has injury issues so who knows what the call is there. Probably be a last minute decision between the two.
I think Moore is pretty safe unless he gets hurt. He's a good insurance policy.

Re: Saints secondary is aiming to be the strength of the defense

Seems like we've struggled running the Zone Defense since we lost Jabari Greer and Tracy Porter...

...What are those guys doing now?

Re: Saints secondary is aiming to be the strength of the defense

Casting a cautious eye on some of these deep balls that Vonn Bell seems to be late getting over to help...

Especially now that they're practicing in Cover 2 and he has half the field now that he's responsible...

It's early, and I'm sure D.A. and Bell will get it fixed because I don't want another season of not getting off the field on 3rd downs...
