Does anybody else feel that in a year or 2, Corey White will take Greer's job from him. I like Greer, but he's just getting older. Corey is bigger (6'1" vs 5'10"), a little faster, and more physical. His tackling seems to be getting better each week and his coverage skills aren't terrible but are improving. Plus he's got the confidence that Rob Ryan and Sean Payton like to see. Thoughts?

I think that Jabari may be gone as soon as next season.....shame too because I love the guy. But like you said.....he is getting older.

I really really like White; he has the tools to be a really good man to man corner. I like the physicality of his play; he plays thicker than he is.....not afraid to drop his pads and deliver a hit. BUT don't get too excited yet, because he is a very young player. He will have many mare mistakes that will madden us for sure; just part of getting experience. The future does look bright for him to be AT LEAST a solid nickle corner.
Hopefully he gets the play recognition part of his game down quicker than Prob did though. Prob also has very good skills, but always struggled with play recognition. Shitty part is that Prob looked as though he was putting it together when he blew out his ACL.

Well, Lewis will take Greer's job from him; and White might take his.

White played a lot of safety in college as well as corner. We all know Versatile defensive backs thrive in Ryan's defense i.e. Vaccaro and Jenkins.

In other words, Corey White has found a permanent home in Nola whether he can move into a starting corner job or not.

It seems that Lewis is our #1 corner for now.
Greer has been great for this org. and fans. But for whatever reasons he does not seem his usual self this year and his salary for next is unusually high.
Until White is on a island for several games as a #1 or #2 corner I will hold an otherwise awesome pontification on his play.

How many years does Greer have under contract? I've been thinking he will at least be here through next season, though at maybe a diminished role. I still feel he has played solid this year. At least he has been there to contest most passes his way unlike cbs of the past we have had.

Has anyone realized that Greer has been struggling because the side of the field he's on. Most corners have a strong side and a weak side and this year they put him opposite of what he has played for us since we got him from the Bills. They probably put him over there cause Lewis is better but I've never seen him struggle this much on the other side

I legit like Corey White's game. Even last year he started to come around after a shaky start. He's a handful for most receivers, really physical. Love him in the slot, he blitzes well.
