It isn’t a secret the Saints had issues at cornerback last season.
There wasn’t enough depth or talent. Fans at home could see it. The players on the field could feel it. And the teams facing New Orleans tried to expose it.
“I feel like last year, a lot of teams tried to expose us by bringing a five-receiver set,” cornerback Keenan Lewis said.
The personnel wasn’t there to combat it. After Champ Bailey went down and Patrick Robinson struggled on the outside, the Saints struggled to find the personnel to fill out their base defense, let alone nickel and dime packages.
