Um, I believe Woodson began his career as a CB, then, as age set in, moved to S. As for comparing Knight to Woodson, Knight couldn't carry his jock. I'll credit Knight with being a savvy player, but a Pro Bowl-calibur S he is not.

The Bucs don't need to be young though because their defense is dominating and they have played in the system since Dungy came over. The Saints have had Haslett as a coach for how many years? I believe, after examining many teams, that a coach has 3 years until his system can 100% be installed. After that it's up to the players, if they don't perform, either the coach or the players need to go.

NEWSFLASH: Dungy coaches the Colts, so his effects on the Bucs defense is nil, with the exception of personnel. Also, Haslett is beginning his 4th season, so what you're really saying is that the Saints will kick ass this year. I'm glad you've finally seen the point I've tried to make all along.
