I suppose we just have to have faith in the coaching staff. From what I’ve seen of Jamerson I haven’t really seen a press-man CB. He seems to be at his best playing off in a zone and using his great closing speed to make a play on the ball.

His D-Coordinator/DB Coach was Jim Leonhard so if he’s vouching for the kid’s abilities then who am I to question it?

I get that, but there's a body of work (film, gameplay) out there that suggests he took off when he moved to safety...

Bill Walsh claimed Ronnie Lott was a better cornerback than safety, but at least Walsh was honest enough to not mess with what was working...

Payton/Allen are overthinking this...

They have a history of doing just that. Evil geniuses with too much time on their hands.

Leonhard had been signed by the Saints as a Free Agent in 2013, but released before the season; again, Saints reaching out to those they're familiar for scouting...

We will just have to wait and see how training camp unfolds for the rookies.

Reworked the Depth Chart to more accurately reflect the game today, especially the passing emphasis, treating nickel as a time-share with SLB...

Patrick Robinson most likely will be in the slot on the traditional nickel, while Vonn Bell will come in on the Saints' heavy nickel packages...

P-Rob and Crawley should have a nice training camp battle; but I agree with KMajor about having another vet; I preferred bringing back a healthy Breaux...

Have more faith in PJ Williams than most and feel he's had a run of bad luck; he can turn it around, but his problem now - where's he gonna get the reps?

As of today, still unsigned. At a position where most in NFL front offices think you can never have enough of... has me wondering what else is going on behind the scenes. Bad rep or the rehab isn't as good as what we are hearing and reading.

But completely agree JP, I'd love to have him Breaux back in camp. What would it hurt? If he doesn't have it, give him the tap (cut him).

That's a really good point. I hope he picks it up that fast too.
