If the game play was zone why Harris was burnt on when they were playing man. Bradford wasn't looking for the open receiver he was looking for who Harris was covering

Yeah at this point I'd have to say any bum off the street > Harris. He looked like 2 week old microwaved garbage left on the side of the highway in mid July

Bad pass and/or Bad effort by the TE = INT

He played well and should see the field but hold back on the props

C'mon Hagan, Ken has played well. His true test will come on Oct 15 vs Highland Park.

"He played well and should see the field "

"gel time"

I look ay the group and rate them as not bad with a huge incomplete. Delvin Breaux is the huge key to knowing were we stand. The secondary needs "gel time" as a unit. Playing time as a unit will cure most of their issues.

"you can never have enough good CB"

So I am always looking and the draft has some solid options in it on day two and three. FA should have some solid options also. I expect to see a few more new faces in 2018.

So CB Ken Crawley is safe and he is proving his worth with every game. But adding more talent is always welcomed

SS has been on my off season needs list since before we drafted Kenny.

Right now I am more concerned with SS than CB. Bell is trade bait still IMO. Is Kenny Vaccaro worth 4/21M contract? That is the FA question of 2018. Would not bother me at all

Kenny is a great pest as a third safety but Bell is turning into a carbon copy of Kenny but not nearly as good. I had him peg in the draft completely different. IMO because he is a major handicap at FS/ So keep him in the box and use what he is good at and cover up what he lacks. Thus another Kenny.

But adding a SS with coverage skills that can drop into the slot will greatly improve this secondary. Kenny is not the answer and neither is a WLB.

A FA seasoned vet with proven leadership and skills would be perfect for such a young secondary but the money will be step 4yr $32M range.

Morgan Burnett SS/FS/CB Packers 6013 209 4.51

Which brings back to. Is Kenny Vaccaro worth 4/21M contract? For me it is a hard question. Kenny and Burnett would be a great pairing. Talk about coaching up Williams at FS.

so I look to the draft

Ronnie Harrison SS/FS/CB Alabama 6011 214 4.54 #15 Jr

This is the key IMO the saints secondary has been missing for years and these two would be great answers to that need.

SS is the biggest bang for the buck or pick in 2018 for this defense.

SS/FS is wide open for upgrading.

CB I feel very optimistic but they need a change in luck and a healthy run of games

Lattimore and Crawley are man guys. And they compete. Man defense simplifies things. The three safety look has worked as well. Lattimore, Crawley, Vaccaro, Williams and Bell are the 5 best DB's the Saints have. I don't know what PJ's issues are, the guy has talent, but Crawley deserves to stay on the field.

Even in Portuguese, Crawley's play has been exemplary...

SaintSproles

Talk about an impact play.

Imagine the Dolphins get 7 on what was a very impressive drive.

Totally changes the mindset and this game probably goes down to the wire.

It's the biggest impact play I've seen on defense in the past 3+ years.

That really did seem to take every thing out of them. Or, did it just put everything in us?
