Kurt Coleman was a liability... I wish him well, but glad he's gone

I think Marcus is our only safety with a "nose for the ball" as far as interceptions. Bell has it in the run game. Marcus didn't make as many plays as he did as a rookie, but "sophomore slumps" are common, especially for players who have stellar rookie seasons. Marcus still flashed his ability in 2018, and I expect him to have his best season yet in 2019. If that happens, he will be one of the best safeties in the league, because his 2017 season was that good.

Marshon is in the same boat. Both he and Marcus regressed a little with their greatest assets. Playmaking (interceptions) for Marcus. Blanket coverage for Marshon. I expect both to be near the top of the league in year 3.

I agree with you, Slaw. :00000654:

Sophomore slump is NOT uncommon. It happens when an athlete has a stellar 1st year, and then gets a lot of love & press coverage saying that they are all-that-and-a-bag-of-chips.

It's especially true with QB's. In fact, IIRC, Dan Marino is the only pro bowl caliber QB that didn't have a noticeable dropoff in year 2.

I believe that Marshon & Marcus Williams will bounce back big time. Let's hope that our acquisitons in the offseason, along with full healing of our injured warriors, bring the Saints to the promised land in the 2019/20 season.

Who Dat!!!!!
