Correct, but that was more to Hartsfield looking really good b/c Elder looked decent.

Probably the best signing we could have made until Bouye is back in Week 3

Regardless, the Saints will be missing both Davenport and Lattimore next week, so no excuses

I think its vastly under-rated that once Hartsfield when down, the defensive started to struggle at the same moment. Im a fan and talked him up all mid-season/off-season, but didnt believe he was the one jenga piece that holds the D together(still dont, but it happened)

All the starters are holding it together.   It's when they start to go down and the even greener backups come in is when the trouble begins.

He's like the Brenstin Bersin of the defense.  We keep cutting him and yet he still finds he way back.

Speaks to the quality of who is available this time of year.

We cut him for a reason…he’s not good

Could be worse. Could be Tre "I'ma tackle the air behind you" Boston.

Don't you put that curse on me Ricky Bobby!

Corresponding move to Elder returning is the team let Omar Bayless go.  I thought having 5 WRs on the practice squad was unsustainable.

I'm not mad at that. Dude was literally our third highest rated defensive player last year (Iirc). 

Beyond the pff though, he really showed some flashes last season. Inject him in this current defense and he should be even better. 

Hartfield has a higher ceiling but Corn as depth/occasional starter would not be a bad idea in any case (didnt think I'd be saying that AT ALL his first couple years).

Why did he get cut from the Lions? Thought he was supposed to start and they lost Okudah.....
