let him come back really slow, he sure was grabbing jerseys a bunch, hes on top of everything why does he have to grab like that.

Don't fix things that aren't broken. He's a depth CB that can come in as needed, but isn't Deion and should not walk in and start as a 1 or 2.

simple answer slot

Although I believe he can play outside better than Crawley, I think it would be beneficial to let him start out playing slot till he is more acclimated to the system. Its always best to earn and not be giving anything. I am sure he will earn starting outside corner but DA will have to determine which and where the player will benefit the team the most. I don't see Crawley ever playing the slot cause he is a poor tackler which would mean he will be benched but Breaux is physical enough with better coverage ability and will be a better fit than Von Bell or Vacarro however when playing the Falcons (Jones & Sanu) it will be best for him to be playing outside. He should have earned that starting position by then

Eventually it'll probably be Lattimore and Breaux...

Crawley will come in on nickel and play outside with Breaux covering the slot...

Williams will be on ready five and Hardee will continue to develop as the fifth cornerback...

However, for this season, Breaux will be brought along slow so as to build stamina and bulk...

If it ain't broke don't fix it

Slot is an issue and tackling skill set is huge. so I do not see a CB tacking over for the 3 safety look.

I just do not see a CB for the slot.

Delvin will be playing the slot when he returns.

ELMO

I was looking for numbers on Breaux pro day or combine and was shocked at the numbers on some saints players, especially Brees benching 225lbs 32x

How each Saints player tested at the NFL Scouting Combine | NOLA.com

Still looking for Breaux numbers, so I might be editing or adding another reply

**** (it's not a official time) ****
**** (couldn't find bench or vertical)****

But at 6'1 196 his playing weight has no differentuality from Von Bell 5'11 199

At six-foot-1, 196 pounds with a 4.4 40-yard dash speed, Breaux is the full package. His performance against Jones especially pops off the tape. While Breaux often had help in coverage against Atlanta, his ability to track Jones and break on routes when the ball was in the air is ideal for a 21st Century corner.

Ken Crawley 6'0 187

4.43 /40x 36.5/vertical 7/bench press

Von Bell 5'11 199

You'd think the Saints are getting 1992 Deion Sanders back and he must be inserted into the starting line-up NAO!

If he balls and eventually he legit takes someone's spot, great.

Payton's already said Breaux's gonna need some time for conditioning, so I wouldn't fret about dumping the apple cart just yet...

Hardee is getting it done on special teams.

Yes, sir, he really is. And he's one of those Patriot-type of players - Running Back, Cornerback, Gunner; Cadet gave us some of that, but Hardee's impact on kick coverage is obvious; but if he can develop some on defense as a CB - watch out...

Guess it may all be moot now; Dennis Allen gets to avoid another uncomfortable decision...
