Too bad the Saints don't have a Taysom Hill like player on Defense (7 Viewers)

Mathieu in his prime could have played several different positions, including CB and FS.

Nick Emanwori or the kid from Oenn State.

Jaylen Reed or Abdul Carter?

Could you imagine if the Saints had a player on Defense that could rush the passer, tackle like a warrior and play excellent pass coverage? The closest player to that would have been a younger Tyrann Mathieu. Just makes you appreciate the level of football player Taysom Hill is.

Alontae Taylor is literally what you're asking for. It's amazing to me just how glossed over he is by the league and even many Saints fans.

That guy is literally a giant piece of glue on that defense similar to Taysom being a big piece of glue on offense.

Taylors next contract is on pace to be massive, so much that we may not be able to resign him.

Mmmm, I’m not ready to say he’s that caliber yet. He’s dangerous in the MOF at slot because when he misses a tackle due to shoulder hitting it leaves everything else open.

I actually prefer him as a rally tackler from the boundary, than as the primary tackler or first to make contact when he’s in the slot.

I bet Taysom is athletic enough to play safety or possibly be a Pete Werner type linebacker. Out most versatile defensive player is probably Alontae Taylor IMO.

He'll be all right if he stop being a peeping Tom.

His name is Demario Davis and before him it was Jonathan Vilma.

DITTO!!! But JV wasn't as good as DD in coverage. But he was as good as DD is in every other facet of the game.

I came here to nominate Alontae as well. Guy covers like a DB, tackles like a linebacker and rushes the passer like a DE. He was (sadly) leading the team in sacks for quite some time and now has four sacks on the season. Alontae is a very versatile player.

Defensive Guys you literally game plan around...

Deion Sanders
Lawrence Taylor
Reggie White
Micah Parsons
Troy Polamalu
Aaron Donald

Those are the type of Taysom like Defenders.

Alontae has versatility and an edge. He's pretty close to anything from what's on roster now.

DB Alontae Taylor is the Taysom Hill of the defense. The man plays Slot, Pass Rusher, & is now, our #1 Boundary Cornerback.

I value that young man’s versatility. He’s Poly-Dynamic. What a joy to see.

PS- yes, I may have just made up the term Poly-Dynamic, but CB Alontae Taylor earned it.
