Are we ready to talk about The Honey Badger?
I think he was seriously considering retirement, and the Saints gave him the opportunity to finish his career close to home, and on what was then considered a “top 10 defense in the league”…
Then, after he got “truck sticked” multiple times by Cordarelle Patterson in week 1… then again by LF7 week 2, he pretty much realized that it’s not worth it.
He’s a step slower, and now he is taking bad angles and “safe” tackling to protect himself. That’s a recipe for a very bad safety.
