Re: Malcolm Jenkins thinks Saints are 'closer' after Brees' comments
Bell was just coming into his own. I totally agree with you. He knew the system and was thriving, he had chemistry with the other players. I really think we let one of the best up and coming SS slip away.

I also understand that with some "his type" can become very irritating when they get "uppity". |

I'm saying his skill set is different and therefore more attractive to DA.
We've still got Duce who can play SS and two other top tier safeties. I can see a lot of three safety sets on the field again this year. Three safeties should help out our LBer's if Anzalone or Alonzo are injured....again. Baun is being moved to Sam I believe and the team hasn't had time to properly prepare him to be a starter. So, I'm not expecting much from his early on in the season while he becomes accustomed to playing a new position in the NFL. |

Re: Malcolm Jenkins thinks Saints are 'closer' after Brees' comments
They've been running the Malcolm Jenkins deep thrust all summer, how are they not closer after that?
