    Apple isn't very good, at least not from what I've seen

    Yes. Some food for thought:
    Apple: 22 Tackles, 1 FF, 5 PDs, "burned" 20 times on 296 snaps (1 every 14.8 snaps)
    Crawley: 29 tkls, 3 PDs, "burned" 32/344 (1 every 10.75 snaps)
    Williams: 16 tkls, 1 PD, 19/207 (1 every 10.89)

    Also, Apple is #36 rated corner on PFF this year. Lattimore is #58. Crawley is #105.

    So, you’re saying this is an upgrade! We’re in a potential championship season, so whatever it takes!

    He is a former 1st round pick, who is still young. PRob grew a lot after the Saints drafted him, then moved on.

    Also played with Lattimore at Ohio state, and we have a bunch of Ohio state guys. Lets hope he is not the 'Cancer' Landon Collins says he ways last year.

    Hopefully its not wishful thinking, but the change of scenery, along with some familiar faces (tOSU teammate of Bell and Thomas too), might bring out the best in him. nola.com did an article that basically said, don't expect miracles from Apple. We don't need miracles, we just need improved cornerback play.
