Talked to Jeff Duncan Today Re: 1st Round Pick

I randomly saw old Jazzy Jeff at the Zurich Classic golf tournament earlier today when I sat down for lunch and had a surprisingly nice conversation with him. I started by saying, "Shouldn't you be working today?" He laughed and said he had the day off. Anywho, we talked about how Vaccaro is a good pick, but not special. He does fill a huge need and add a new dimension, but it's not a flashy pass rusher as we would have liked. I told him how disappointed I was that the team passed up Jarvis Jones, and he said he wasn't surprised because Jones apparently has a terrible attitude and work ethic. He said he played only on game days and was a slouch at practice.
I came away impressed with my conversation with Jeff. Very nice, laid back guy. I'm not a fan of his, but it was pretty cool. This information helps me cope you guys. Cope with me.

I am sure out Defense practiced really hard last year, and then laid eggs on gameday.
He apparently is good enough for the Steelers who are 100000X better at evaluating Defensive players than the saint.

I think everyone is trying to rationalize Vaccarro over Jones at this point 
On 1 hand, Many had red flags and work ethic questions about the guy already... On the other hand, the Steelers (who know a thing or two about LB's and defense in general) pick him 2 spots later.
At the end of the day, Vaccarro is wearing black n GOLD, while Jarvis gets that ugly black n yellow... Whodat!

All reasons why I keep saying Jones will be average at best. Piss poor against the run, doesn't work on his game physically or with the x's and o's, strictly skated by because of his size and natural talent and being on a good defense with good players. And he has that spine thingy.
Imo we got the better Georgia player in the 3rd. Big reason why Jones looked so good.

Sorry, I wouldn't waste my time or breath talking to that scum blowhard Duncan.

they went with the safer pick. nothing wrong with that. it's the first round, and they wanted a guy they felt would produce and right away. the pick is a good one.

Im an lsu fan, he was a god pick.
I wanted us to take NT with our third, cant argue there.
Overall, the saints did good after being screwed. yes they got screwed.
Come on roger, what coach doesnt teach to tackle with your head up. that's shite you learn in peewee.
They blasted us with change happening. Seriously, how many of you learned to use you helmet as a weapon. No body!!
they tried to shove that shite down our throats. Im not fooled. football is football. no respectable person is teaching kids to hurt other players.

Like everyone else watching the draft, I was eagerly anticipating hearing the name "Jarvis Jones" after the picks fell the way they did.
After a couple days, everything I hear about Vaccaro is good, and that includes his attitude in interviews. I freely admit not having watched this guy much in college, while I was super-impressed with Jones at UGA.
Like others have noted, we need help all over, and getting the top safety will help tremendously. And like others have also noted, premier defenses have premier safetys- Troy Polomaulu (sp) in Pittsburg, Ed Reed in Baltimore.
Is Vaccaro one of those? Dunno. We'll see.
