From Nola.com
quote:

Judging by what I've seen from Bailey this offseason, he seems to be the favorite to win the starting job at cornerback opposite Keenan Lewis. Bailey has seen all of his playing time with the first-team defense through three days of training camp rotating practice reps with Patrick Robinson.




From USAtoday

quote:

"He's still Champ Bailey,'' New Orleans Saints defensive coordinator Rob Ryan told USA TODAY Sports after Saturday's training-camp practice. "He's awesome.





From ESPN

quote:

Naturally, there are questions about how much the 12-time Pro Bowler and likely Hall of Famer has left in the tank. But the Saints clearly had a vision for how the 36-year-old can aid their deep and versatile defense. And Bailey has a great shot at winning a starting job this summer.



Sounds like he is having a great camp

Being as that the main debate on here is who is outplaying who and not our usual "who sucks the least that we will have to start due to lack of better options" is music to my ears baby!!!

I don't see how anyone could be surprised with his showing in camp so far. I mean, aside from the "how dare you talk bad about one of our player's" fans that are embedded in these boards; it was clear last year that Corey White fricking sucks. He's god awful in man coverage and got burnt on numerous occasions last season, and yet people here still jumped to his defense. HE frickING SUCKS!!! And I hope we cut him.



Uh, he played pretty damn well at the #3 spot. He struggled as the #2 corner, which is what should be expected from him.

He had a 56.7 catch percentage when targeted and gave up 4 touchdowns.

PFF graded him out at +3.4 in pass coverage for the year. I guess they have a Saints agenda too

We need to come up with an "ignore" list for posters.

They're just gonna filter in as preseason approaches.

Many teams would kill to have him as their #3 cornerback. He could probably start on a few teams. You suck at life

He started for us after the Greer injury and we kept being a top 5 defense. His catch % against is certainly starting caliber.

Great response too. Clearly shows that you know what you are talking about.

Highest rated corner in week 14

quote:

With a big win over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday night, the New Orleans Saints seized control of the NFC South as the season draws to a close. That was in large part due to the play of quarterback Drew Brees, but plenty of other players on the roster stepped up, with no player from the Saints finishing the game with a grade lower than -1.0. Last season’s fifth round draft pick, and current starting cornerback, Corey White (+3.7) did more than that, finishing as our highest graded cornerback in Week 14.

He was one of three starting cornerbacks to not allow a reception on Sunday, with a pass breakup and two incompletions coming from the three passes into his coverage. That gave him perfect Yards Per Coverage Snap and Coverage Snaps Per Reception averages of 0.0. The pass breakup came on 1st-and-20 with 14:28 left in the game, with White getting him arm between receiver Ted Ginn and the ball on a hitch route. It all added up to White having the highest graded game of his career, playing at a level the Saints will be hopeful he can maintain down the stretch.

It is very, very clear you have no idea what you're talking about.


...he was our #2 CB for most of the season, and our pass defense finished 2nd...It wasn't because of Malcolm Jenkins.

Not to mention, he was very, very good in the slot, which is where he will be playing permanently now

He played really well in close and middle of the field. Slot is his strength. Taking desean Jackson deep is not something but a handful of corners can do in this league.

He started for us last year for almost half the season and played well. You still haven't provided any evidence of him being terrible as you said. But I guess I shouldn't expect anything of substance in your posts.

exactly...he got burned by Desean when thrust into the #1 spot in a playoff game in his first real year of playing time...the rest of his solid season can be ignored....he sucks forever and should be cut
