Saints' Eli Apple expects to play vs. Vikings

The guy is a talented CB and has two former teammates in the secondary with him. He has a head start on communication. As long as he is in man coverage he should be more effective than Crawley. I'll bet you he makes a big play at some point in the game.

Cover 2 here is the same as Cover 2 in New York. Sure there are checks and adjustments he might not fully have a grasp on yet but neither do half of our defense anyway.

So true, but his abilities should be superior.

NFL network replayed the MNF game with the Giants vs ATL.

Applebee's gave up 2 catches for 22 yards & a grab on Julio J.

I'll take that all day from any cornerback not named Lattimore.

I'm sure he'll play tomorrow in certain packages. Glad the Saints FO made a move to get him.

He's well spoken and should fit right in with this strong locker room and college team mates playing along side him.

How could he not be comfortable playing in this secondary? Its all Ohio State out there.
