My assessment of the saints offseason so far

david makes more plays than gay if they can stretch him 4 or 5 inches taller he would be awesome. gay is a very solid average cb but i hate how he always lets his guy catch the ball and then tackle instead of jumping routes, he doesnt take any chances. Not sure if thats a bad thing with our safeties though

OK.

Gay doesn't jump routes? He's not supposed to, the CB is supposed to keep his eyes on the receiver. His job isn't to intercept. His job is to make sure the WR doesn't catch it.

The Safety is the gambler, not the CB.

I'm not even sure why everybody thinks he won't be a starter this year, Gay can do thiis stuff.
