Saints Re-Sign CB PJ Williams

ChrisXVI · 04-02-2019, 07:37 PM

Welcome back PJ. He made great strides last year as the season went on- really started coming into his own. He’ll probably be suspended to start the season but it’ll be good to have him down the stretch.

I like that...I said many time last season that he was the best tackler in the secondary based on what I saw during the game. Really good in the open field and that is important for a slot CB.

I’m glad he’s back!

Heck of a pay raise too...

Makes sense because with only one draft pick (currently) in the first one hundred-fifty picks, next not till 168th, and a small CB group in this draft class, we're not getting a talented CB unless one falls at 62...

Shore CB up now and focus on S, C, G, OT, TE, WR, LB, DE...

So this is where we are now in the Defensive Secondary:

RCB (2) 23 - Marshon Lattimore, 34 - Justin Hardee (ERFA 2019)

NCB (2) 21 - Patrick Robinson (IR), 35 - Marcus Sherels (FA 2019), 28 - Chris Campbell (RFC 2019)

FS (2) 43 - Marcus A. Williams, 31 - Chris Banjo (FA 2019)

SS (2) 24 - Vonn Bell, 48 - J.T. Gray

LCB (2) 25 - Eli Apple, 26 - P.J. Williams (FA 2019), 20 - Ken Crawley (RFA 2019)

I don't know much about Sherels besides he's a really good return man. I didn't even know he could play nickel corner. PJ Williams did a respectable job there last year and I'm glad he's back to keep growing in the system no matter where he plays when his name is called.

I feel good with him as a solid backup and five million is worth the peace of mind to me and apparently Loomis feels the same way.

Communications is critical to the success to a secondary and the less turnover the better. To me, bringing back a capable CB is better than bringing in a new one with no on field experience with the others ... even if technically better.

Not concerned about secondary. If our guys commit to training we’ll and keep their heads in the whole process, talent and smarts are there.

I look for Marcus Williams and Crawley to turn it around too. Williams can play like he did his rookie year this backfield could be scary good. Crawley could wind up being extremely solid depth or even take his job back from Apple.

Interested to see how a healthy P-rob changes things. He was doing pretty well before the injury on his own but our other guys couldn’t get on the same page. When he went down is when our DBs started to gel. I remember one or two of our guys, Marcus Williams being one saying they were having trouble getting it together with the “new guys”. P-Rob specifically. I really didn’t get that statement seeing as how NONE of them played together the year before and did fine.

Still need another DE who can rotate in and effectively pressure the passer. I'm hoping Ansah comes to Nola after the draft.
