Our safety play this past year was one of the worst in the league.
No it wasn't. Link?
It was the worst part of our defense after the dline, the linebackers, and the corners
quote:
whiffed on every open field tackle.
Harper and Jenkins both led the nfl during the season at different times, not just safteys, the whole league, in tackles and finished at the top of the league. A testament to how horribly the front 7 played.
quote:
Dont even want to start on Harper!
Because he is a better than average SS and you don't have anywhere to start?
quote:
Can we bring Ed Reed home and draft a SS?
We don't have the money for ed Reed and Harper will be great for Ryan to work with in his system
It's no secret I defend Jenkins routinely on this board. And I'll continue to do so. I do think he needs to spend some time playing corner where he belongs. Definitely needs to rotate time with IAQ. He impressed me a few times last year. But he is a good player who is used wrong sometimes. But far from the worst on the team.

Jenkins looked primed after a solid 2010. Many from nothing to do with the Saints were touting him as an up & coming All Pro. He regressed in 2011, then fell off the cliff last year. Cuz he's relatively cheap in the last year of his rookie deal he'll be back again. Whether him or IAQ I'll have to trust that the best man plays. The Jenkins back to CB is interesting but I'll be surprised if we'd see it.
Harper really isn't terrible. By no means elite but prolly above average in his total game for SS's. Williams and I hope Ryan make the best use of his skillset. The bigger beef is just how much cap he is sucking. I wouldn't blink if he was cut. If renegotiated, I just hope the pay grade lines up with his performance level closer.
