Corey White and Isa Abdul-Quddus



Corey White is a rookie out of Samford and was used and abused early in the season, but had a really good game last week and has been playing better over time.

IAQ is a 2nd year player out of Fordham and has played mostly on special teams. He's getting more playing time recently and has done a pretty good job. You still see him take a bad angle here or there, but he's done really well other times.



I think Corey White is our new version of Randall Gay. Can start for a couple of games if needed and be a really good nickle/dime back. Not sure he will ever be covering a Calvin Johnson or Larry Fitzgerald though.

I'd like to see IAQ get some more PT and let Harper play more LB/rover. Not sure if he's starer material yet, but he's been good so far and I think he will get better with more reps.



What does ST think of these guys?

I really like Quddus. I notice him when he's out there and I think with more experience he will be a really good player. He definitely likes to put big hits on receivers.

I think the guy on the back wall should start at DT over Sed Ellis.

ETA: I like IAQ more than White. Both have potential

I'm more about White now.

I think that dude might be really something.

These guys are both young and talented. And they have been steadily improving. White's INT was money.

I would really like to see some plays where Jenkins plays corner across from Greer, let White play nickel and IAQ play FS.

The phrase "he gets better every week" gets thrown around too often, but I think that it actually applies with these guys.

White was projected as a safety coming out of college but the Saints never waivered starting him at CB.
I know many have blasted our secondary this year but I have always thought it had depth and quality. Its the safeties and D-line preasure that has made them look worse than they are. Greer started slowly from injury and P-rob has took a step back a bit this year.
IAQ is getting reps at FS which I think all agree is a good thing. Probably no greater wish among Saints fans than a upgrade at SS and FS next year. From the livingroom its hard to see IAQ made plays or evaluate but its obvious Spags see's something there.

Now if JP can get his sh!t together in Spags system we are looking deep.

And here's hoping Bush 25 can bring something too.

Was IAQ the one that let Roddy get behind him on that heart-stopping bomb Ryan threw late in the game?

i liked white, just hated he got baptised in fire earlier in the season - but he is getting more and more solid as the games go. i think we may end up with another late round gem again (ala Colston).

IAQ i really liked last year and hope he can break in some more playing time for experience.

I went to high school with Corey white; this man was constantly in the weight room and has one of the best work ethics I've ever seen. There's no doubt in my mind that hell develop into a damn good player.
