New Orleans Saints Waive Jason David

It seemed like this day would never come. The New Orleans Saints have finally parted ways with much maligned cornerback Jason David. You may remember David from such forgettable plays as this one...
...or this one...
...even this one...
...and lastly, his most favorite position, "The Ankle Biter"...
But remember, through all the crap that fans put him through and harsh words we had for him during his time here in New Orleans, he never once complained and took it all in stride. For that, I have great respect. I wish him the best of luck wherever he lands and I truly hope some team out there can and will find at least a modicum of value in him. In the meantime, we should all try and forget the bad memories and choose to remember him for this, his most memorable moment...
Goodbye Jason David. You will not be missed.

Well that moves Jenkins up on the depth chart!!
Now we will just have to find a new corner to put the blame on for getting torched.
agreed
i think jenkins is getting at least the nickel spot now.
Superbowl bound!!!...I hope? Go Saints! :D

Finally!!!
Gregg Williams is not putting up with that kind of performance. That move will motivate the rest of the “on the fence” guys. It’s time to get some feeling hurt and win some games. Geaux Saints!!!
Who Dat?...... Drew Dat ! ! !
rotoworld.com:
David is only 27 and could help a team that plays heavy zone. Clearly, he’s not a man-to-man corner.
I don’t know who that team is, but Jason, good luck hooking up with them. Saintsational is right, you never complained once that I heard anyway. Not even a Fred Thomas scowl for the camera. Via con Dios.
Please don't be long, or I may be asleep.
i think the first one was right
and the second one would be if it was a group. i think, haven’t had spanish in a while.

“Vaya con Dios” is right, Stuart. It’s the verb “ir” (to go) in the first person plural command form.

you were a spanish teacher?
I don’t know why I find that funny. Probably because that’s not what I picture.

too bad
A stand-up guy who never stood quite tall enough. May he find another spot in the league someplace – hopefully with one of our opponents. I think he’d look great in those red Dirty Bird unis!!

on a related note
have the Bears cut Josh Bullocks yet, star of this famous video compilaton? http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=can%20an%20nfl%20safety%20be%20this%20bad%20josh%20bullocks&rls=com.microsoft:en-us&oe=UTF-8&startIndex=&startPage=1&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wv#
Somewhere there must be a similar look back at JD’s Saints career.

Nice pics Dave
Really fleshed out the story, and the video too. BOOM rec’d it.
Please don't be long, or I may be asleep.
Rest assured

Brooks
OH How I wish they would sign him. I dont think it would be a negative of any kind to sign Brooks right now. Hes the best out ther for the job.
Jason Webster
is a guy the Saints should consider bringing in. He just worked out with the Texans a few days ago, but they decided to go with Deltha O’Neal instead. Webster played in the Cover 2 in New England and Buffalo — which is a good thing, being that the Saints will occasionally deploy it this upcoming season — but he also has played (and started) a number of years in standard set formations. He’d also offset some of the veteran leadership you’re losing in the CB ranks, by getting rid of David. Webster’s not an All-Pro, but I’m sure there aren’t too many better experienced CBs out there at the moment. Seems like a pretty good fit, imo.

why do we need another one?
we now have greer, porter, jenkins, gay, torrence, and even young if we needed him. i’d rather get brooks and put him in for shanle :D

he looked pretty good the few plays i saw him in.

Because Gay
is not much better than David, Porter has been hurt his first two years in the league, Jenkins and Gorrer are unproven rookies, Torrence is more of a special teamer … lotta question marks, imo. The more experience, the better. P.S. Give it up on Brooks, they let him walk without a contract.

jeffduncantpSaints have no sense of urgency to sign Brooks. See him as replacement for Simoneau, not starter. I repeat D.Brooks will NOT replace Shanle
Please don't be long, or I may be asleep.
Jeff Duncan = no credibility Particularly where “Don’t hold the bunny too tight there, Scott… Oh my God!” Shanle is concerned.

"I like our back end." -- Mickey Loomis, to Solomon Wilcots and Tim Brando during a press box interview in the 4th Quarter of the Saints-Bengals preseason game.
I don't even view him
as an upgrade over Shanle. As I’ve said before, as long as Simoneau goes on IR, I’m fine with them signing him. Not ecstatic, just ok with it. To cut anyone in FAVOR of Brooks … not as ok with it. I still think we have better options out there right now. And we’ll have even better than that in a few weeks, when final cuts are being made. No sense of urgency = the right sense of urgency, imo.
"You'll have sloppy balls. You have to find a way to get a grip on it." -Drew Brees
I welcome this news
I totally agree with Saintsational’s take on this. He’s not a man-to-man cover corner and never will be. I really like the secondary now. Looks like Gorrer or Torrence will get that last spot. I hope David finds a gig on a team that plays a defense he’s more suited for, whatever that may be.

I don’t think this is the same TD as the first photo. Photographer with red vest is standing in first photo, kneeling in this one. Wayne caught a long one in the 4th quarter too.

what about that big pass interference call?
was that him and bullocks that straight mauled the guy before he even got close to touching the ball? i’d like to see that pic lol

This was easily the worst one. What a heartbreaking moment this was. We should have won that damn game!

Reggie . . .
had to be pissed. He did everything and then some in that game. Maybe he should have played corner.

LOL
The upper photo with Reggie Wayne looks like David is blind.
“Who am I covering?”
“It’s me, Reggie.”
“Reggie Bush?”
“No, Reggie Wayne. This is a game, not practice.”
“Oh. Are you open?”
“Kind of. I just caught the ball.”
“How was my coverage? Was it pretty tight?”
“Uh … yeah. You had me blanketed. Tip drill, I just got lucky.”
“Aw, man. Are we in the end zone yet?”
“Yep, just scored. You should turn around and shake your head in disgust now. Self loathing brings out the best in all of us.”
“Thanks, Reggie.”
“No problem. Thanks for defending me.”

Wow
I can’t believe it took Greg Williams seeing this dude get burned in a preseason game to finally cut him loose. I was saying that when he played in his Debut against The Colts. I still can’t get that game nor the Vikings game out of my head. I was soooooooooo mad. We had that game…. WE HAD IT!!!
Ok….ok…..I’m calm now. Anyway JD you’re a good guy but you just weren’t cut out for the CB position. I hope you land on your feet somewhere.
Get ready to FEEL DAT BREES!!!

Well
For onc Gary Gibbs wanted him, in the 07 and 08 season. I dont think Gibbs had the heart to even coach the defense, he let everything go pretty much unless Payton got involved in the decision. But he was decent in cover 2 in Indy, Gibbs and many others were high on him for THAT ability, it was a blunder simple as that, thinking he could be as good in man to man as he was in Cover 2.
With Gregg Williams at the helm, I have no doubt the Saints defense will be ranked 10th-15th IF not top 10 off the performance they had Friday night in the 1st qtr. Jason David made the defense look like shit 2-3 times when he was out there, that was the problem that had to go.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO MORE CHASEIN DAVID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think we need a poll
What offseason move will improve the Saints’ defense more?
1) Hiring Gregg Williams
2) Punting Jason David
Everyone would vote for hiring Gregg Williams
hire Greg= punting JD= sucess

Quit complaining Dave
Didn’t get a single rec even if I beat you to it. What’s that? You took time putting up something with more pezaz (spellling)? Guess we have a winner…
Rec’d!
Just get the D going!
Bout time
It was embarrassing he was playing this long! Sean Peyton must have had a Bro-mance or something!
It' a good move
But I thought Jason David was going to be ok this season. I guess I thought wrong. But, it’s good that GW put in him a pressure situation and then saw what would happen. I wonder if this means we will play mostly man coverage or was GW just trying to see JD in man coverage but will use some zone during the season. Anyway you look at it, though, it seems like the right move.

he thought he was tricking us with a new # but we recognized him immediately, a big cushion and missed tackle, happy trails mini CB……

Bashed JD with the best of them but I have to say this.
I never hated the man.. just his ability to play CB for my Saints.
So.. Good Luck JD.. may you find a team that can use you better then we did… you were just not the right man for the job.

Hate is
a strong word, I agree, I dont like it, I don’t like to use it ,its easy to slip up, I’ve replaced hate with dislike or dislike very much. So JD, I dislike your performance as a Saint, good luck in the future.
You think you know, and you don't know, and you never, ever will know..Jim Mora Sr.
i agree
i hate his skills in the Saints defense. Nothing against him personal. Never read about him acting up and he always seemed humble at interviews. Good luck JD.
