Altid rart at se en Saints (defensiv) spiller modtag den største udmærkelse for sin indsats
– ved ikke om dette var hans bedste kamp, men Junior har tydeligt fremstået som leder på defensiven
Hvorfor vi har brug for Junior som leder på Saints defensiv:
Årets største indkøbsflop – klippet fra NFL.com:
1. Jairus Byrd, New Orleans Saints safety: Of all players who changed teams this offseason, Byrd earned the most guaranteed money. A major red flag emerged shortly thereafter when Byrd underwent back surgery in May. He was limited in training camp and exposed as a liability during the Saints’ disappointing September. After missing tackles and surrendering big plays, the three-time Pro Bowl selection managed just four games before a torn lateral meniscus ligament ended his season.
4. Champ Bailey, New Orleans Saints cornerback: The Saints had financial incentive to keep Bailey on the roster after handing him $500,000 guaranteed in April. Instead, they released him before the season once it became obvious that last year’s nagging foot injury wasn’t going away. Perhaps a more rigorous medical screening is needed in New Orleans.
…..tænk på hvor vores defensiv havde været hvis disse to køb havde givet pote ???
