New Orleans Saints Minicamp: The View from the Middle of the Top Metal Bleacher
Canal Street Chronicles — ... following a play during offense vs. defense work. Couldn't tell who it was.  I think it's a bit hard to really tell how well the running backs looked. They may be breaking through the line but with no tackling it's too far from actual game situations.  The cornerback mix was interesting. Gay and Greer were getting reps with the first team today. Greer I understand but Gay I don't. Tracy Porter and Leigh Torrence were with the second team. Jason David the third team. Don't forget that Malcolm Jenkins will be ...

Canal Street Chronicles — ... OTA’s. The Saints’ reconstructed Defense went to work on the NFL’s number one ranked offense but not before giving up big plays over the middle of the field to tight end Billy Miller and deep threat wide receiver Devery Henderson.     Audio These are all from, where else, WWL's Sports Talk. They are locker room sound bites from this weekend. In order we've got Adrian Arrington, Jason David, Carl Nicks and Jeremy Shockey.  ...

Polian-Era Colts Draft History: First Round Picks
Stampede Blue — ... the 28th pick in the 2004 pick but traded down.  The Falcons took Michael Jenkins, the wide receiver out of Ohio State.  The Colts then traded down again from 38 to 48.  They swapped picks with the Steelers.  The Steelers took the cornerback Ricardo Colclough.  The Colts took some guy named Bob Sanders with the 48th pick.  I don't know what he's up to now.  The Colts also got Gilbert Gardner, Kendyll Pope and Jason David from those trades. 2005: Marlin ...

Not money, not any of that. Just winning ball games. "Jeremy Shockey was brought in to be the starting tight end and to provide me with a nice shiny ring."   Popular Minicamp Trend The Times-Pic reports that Courtney Roby, Roman Harper, Jason David, Skyler Green and Anthony Waters all have ...

Polian-Era Colts Draft History: Second Round Picks
Stampede Blue — ... 2 seasons. 2006: Tim Jennings/CB/Georgia College: Tim Jennings is considered to be one of the best, if not the best, cornerback under longtime Bulldogs coach Mark Richt.  He was a three year starter for the Dawgs and had ten interceptions, ten tackles for a loss and 170 tackles. Draft: In the first round, the Colts took running back Joseph Addai, but the team decided to go defense next.  They knew that Jason David and Nick Harper were about to go, so Jennings was ...

2009 Colts Training Camp: Nickel corner
Stampede Blue — ... enters games when the Colts go to nickel and he plays the outside corner spot Jackson vacates when he shifts to nickel. At 5'8, 185 pounds, he does not have the size that Jackson and Hayden have (both roughly 6'0). But, as I often preach (to the point where many are annoyed with me for doing so, but whatever) size is one of the most over-rated attributes when it comes to measuring how good a football player is. The Colts won a Super Bowl with a 5'8'' CB starting. His name was Jason David, and despite the last two years languishing with the ...

Jabari Greer: Where's the Love!?
Canal Street Chronicles — ... The truth is, I don't have a crystal ball. Greer could go the way of Jason David and Jenkins could become the future of this team. Whatever. But until either or any of those situations proves to be true, Greer deserves the label of "secondary upgrade", moreso than Jenkins, and a little more respect than he seems to have been given thus far. ...

Canal Street Chronicles — ... does a great job of keeping track of those too. We have to get the right guys and they've done a good job. Gary Gibbs is a very good football coach. They've done a great job of building a foundation. There's a really solid foundation of defensive football here and they played a lot better than a few big plays here and there would warrant. These guys want to play good, they want to play better and hopefully we can help them a little bit." Can you talk about Jason David? "Jason David has had a ...

"And the longer you stay, the more you understand the business of this game. "Part of that is not worrying about putting yourself against the other guys at your position, but making yourself one of the best 53 players on the team. The more you show, the better off you are." -Jason David      ...

Today is the Greatest, Day I've Ever Known: 5 Things to Watch Tonight During Bengals @ Saints
Canal Street Chronicles — ... with so many intriguing story lines, these guys should be interesting to watch at every level. Once the laughing stock of the team, now it's a group that might be called...dare I say...deep. Saints fans have four new players - Darren Sharper, Jabari Greer, Pierson Prioleau and Malcolm Jenkins (maybe) - to watch tonight, all of whom can make immediate and significant contributions. Tracy Porter is being held out of the game tonight but Jason David, Randall Gay and Leigh Torrence are also in the ...

Cincinnati Bengals @ New Orleans Saints: The View from Section 140
Canal Street Chronicles — ... When I got back home I quickly scanned the game thread and was glad to see that everyone else seemed to agree with me. Jason David is done. He really needed to shine tonight and prove that he could thrive in Gregg Williams' new system but he did just the opposite. Rather, he kept doing the things that made everyone hate him in the first place and it felt like old times in the Dome last night with everyone cursing David's name.  ...

Saints Training Camp Battles: Stock Report
Canal Street Chronicles — ... Jason David  I couldn't believe it was possible for David's stock to drop any lower, even in this economy, so applaud JD for doing what many thought couldn't be done. Jeff Duncan claims that 124 of the Bengals 233 passing yards in the first half of Friday's game came against David. Ugh. When will the Saints have the balls to put an end to this abusive relationship?   ...

2009 Saints Off-Season: A Nostalgic Look Back
Canal Street Chronicles — ... that news.    Twitter takes over - July 9, 2009 I think the first time we realized how important a role Twitter would play in following the tea, came when Shockey aired out his emotions about "Chad" Houser via a tweet.

Former Colts Edgerrin James and Shane Andrus cut; Jason David finds a new home
Stampede Blue — ... here in Indy. Maybe the combustable atmosphere in Tampa Bay had something to do with Andrus' consistency. A coach who has lost control of his team, an incompetent defensive coordinator, a clueless general manager, and cheap owners make for an 0-7 start. This was the team, and the franchise, Tony Dungy built. Now, look at it. Since 2003, the year after Jon Gurden won a Super Bowl with Tony Dungy's team, the Bucs have gone 45-58 and have won zero playoff games. Finally, Jason David has signed with the Detroit Lions. David has taken some ...

Know Your Colts History: Thank You, Marlin Jackson
Stampede Blue — ... are that those years won't be played in Indianapolis.  Marlin will be entering free agency this season and we all know the track record for players, especially defensive ones, entering free agency under Bill Polian: If you're not producing near or at Pro Bowl level, you better start packing your bags, because you will be replaced by someone younger, cheaper, and odds are, more talented than you.  We've seen it happen with Nick Harper, Marcus Washington, Jason David, David Thornton, Cato June, and a slew of others ...

Lions Claim Jack Williams, Release Jason David
Pride Of Detroit — ... Jason David's stay in Detroit was a short one.  Less than a week after being signed by the Lions, he was released to make room for cornerback Jack Williams, who was claimed by Detroit on Monday.  Williams was recently released by the Broncos to open up a spot on the roster for Ty Law, and the Lions were one of four teams to claim him.  The Browns, Colts, and Eagles also put in a claim for Williams, meaning the silver lining in losing to Seattle was that the Lions were ...

New Orleans Saints 28 @ St. Louis Rams 23: The Regaissance
Canal Street Chronicles — ... as well be in the room video taping the whole thing. If the Saints play this way against the Bucs next week, there's a good chance they'll lose.  It wasn't all bad, of course. The Regessaince is in full effect and the Saints managed to stay perfect even without a few key players on defense. Still, now we realize just how important Darren Sharper and Jabari Greer really are to this defense. Watching Randall Gay in coverage was giving me Jason David flashbacks.  Right into the bullets: ...

Tracy Porter Knee Injury Not as Serious as First Expected; Will Return in 4-6 Weeks
Canal Street Chronicles — ... Tracy Porter's MRI today via Twitter... The MRI revealed Tracy Porter's injury to be an MCL sprain. He's expected to miss 4-6 weeks.     Hallelujah!!! The season is saved! The Saints can get by without Porter for a few weeks, especially if Greer is ready to come back soon from his groin injury, but the thought of not having him for crunch time and the playoffs was really making me worry.  In other news, Jason David is still unemployed.  ...

New Orleans Saints' Defensive and Special Teams Player Grades @ Rams
Canal Street Chronicles — ... and the Rams in general picked on him all day. He looked slow and despite good coverage on the second touchdown he showed terrible ball skills. Gay did finish with 4 tackles on the day. Gay in my estimation is best used in the slot as a physical corner. I know the Saints were short handed, but matching him up against a burner like Donnie Avery was a terrible matchup. I heard whispers of Jason David comparisons (ahem, Saintsational) and that is going a little too far. Just because he can't run with Donnie Avery it doesn't mean he has no clue out there. Gay ...
