nolaexpat Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Can't dangle Peterson in front of us and then swap him with this guy like they're similar at all... Maybe the "source" is wrong... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raves Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 For a 4th and a 2020 7th that's a great deal for both sides. He wasn't working out for the Giants, not due to a lack of talent, so maybe he needed a change of scenery. Plus rejoining Vonn Bell and Marshon Lattimore in the backfield as well as Michael Thomas on offense might be a good way to get him both comfortable with the team and help keep him focused on what needs to happen.

navysaintsfan Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 We are becoming the New Orleans State Buckeyes He's obviously not Peterson, but it's not like he doesn't have talent. I'm hoping the change of scenery and being around former college teammates puts his head where it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mid Iowa Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 We all know that our current secondary was not going to get us to the Super Bowl. This is certainly a win-win situation, or a win-win-win situation, if you will. Apple is a big guy, and he brings the same learned game that Marshon Lattimore has. he's not nearly as good as Lattimore, but those two together could be pretty scary. And the price is right!

He had a good rookie year though and this year seems to have had a strong start though turned into just good. PFF actually has him slightly over Lattimore, though Lattimore is pretty low in their rankings. Doing some reading quickly I saw that there was some family issues etc that might've caused Apple to have that bad season. For what we paid for him, he can't be worse than what we have.

Canadian Saint Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I'll just quote myself from the other thread: Eli Apple 57th ranked corner overall by PFF (64.1) 75th in yards per coverage snap 7 total missed tackles (T-8th in NFL) 246/297 total defensive snaps have come from the LCB spot Saints current LCB: Ken Crawley 111th ranked corner overall by PFF (47.9) 113th in yards per coverage snap 2 total missed tackles 201/348 total defensive snaps have come from the LCB spot Now I know PFF is sketchy, but this paints a picture of a guy who is definitely not PP, but will do enough to hold down the LCB opposite Latt. The guy is less than a year older than Latt. I will be the world Payton and co., spoke to Urban Meyer about Apple and his issues. He was terrible last season, but apparently this season he has been better. Price is decent for a guy still on his rookie deal, maybe a change of scenery will help. Gosh I hope it works out.

Dome Posted October 23, 2018 Author Share Posted October 23, 2018 So Ken Crawley in the slot? He’s a surprising strong tackler, he could do well there. Maybe PJ can give Coleman some plays off at safety Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
