Active Roster
All the worries about Knight's speed should be put to rest when you consider the fact that he will now be surrounded by 3 pro-bowlers in the secondary. I'm not sure what his responsibilities were in N.O., but I know they didn't have anything close to our kind of talent to help him out.
I know that he would probably be an ideal fit for a team that runs the Cover-2, but he won't be required to help Madison & Surtain too often. As long as he provides strong run support and makes WR's nervous about going down the middle of the field, I'm happy. It's a pretty safe bet that he will make more big plays than Freeman. In another year or two, Freeman(hopefully still with us) should be even more comfortable and ready to step up his game, but until that time Knight is what we need to close the deal when games are slipping away in December.
