Hard to believe there's 8 teams with worse secondaries than us. LINK

24. New Orleans Saints (15) Current nickel package: CB Ken Crawley, CB Sterling Moore, SCB B.W. Webb, S Kenny Vaccaro, S Jairus Byrd
Delvin Breaux’s injury was a setback for the defense, and neither Ken Crawley nor Sterling Moore have been all that impressive during his absence. However, B.W. Webb has been a pleasant surprise after the Saints signed him following Breaux’s injury. On 80 coverage snaps, Webb has surrendered seven catches while breaking up four passes an intercepting another. Jairus Byrd is the only other defensive back with an above-average coverage grade for New Orleans.

How can Byrd be the only other DB getting an above average grade? I thought I hsd read that Vaccaro had been doing a decent job so far too?

Vaccaro can be having a fine season in a variety of ways that don't necessarily relate to coverage

As I've stated several times about Byrd in coverage, QBs stay away from him. He is below avg in run support but he shuts his zone down in passing game. It's hard to rack up 25 interceptions a year to please fans when QBs completely avoid you.

But remember that time he folded up trying to tackle freeman in open field? That takes away all positives

Byrd has been pretty good in coverage, but horrible against the run

He's doing a great job in a variety of roles. His versatility also puts him in a position to get beat though. He's impacted the run and the pass game near the LoS, but not always in coverage

I refuse to hate on Crawley or Moore considering the roles they've been thrown into.
