That was the throw by Brees, I am referring the one by McCown

I kinda agree but I might give Snead a slighter edge over Coleman since I've seen him make multiple catches and some difficult ones with defender drape all over him. I haven't seen much from Coleman but I've heard he had a great camp now it's time to transfer it on the field

Nick Toon's stint with us is over. He's a bum. I think Seantavious Jones is headed for another season on the practice squad. At this point I think Snead and one of the Morgan's are a lock.

1. Brandin Cooks
2. Marques Colston
3. Brandon Coleman
4. Josh/Joe Morgan
5. Willie Snead

Exactly what's been said all camp about Snead

He catches everything and is not afraid, he even got face to face with Brandon Browner after a hit.

Coleman disappointed me, just rewatching the game now, the DB did a good job of knocking the ball out but he caught it cleanly first time, got to have stronger hands than that.

That's what made Colston a fan favourite in his first couple seasons, making the difficult catches.

When did this happen? I must have missed that.

Nick Toon = Adrian Arrington Version 2.0

Yep. Toon is normally the darling of training camp but this year it's been all quiet on that front. The job has been his for the taking considering he actually produced a little in the regular season last year but instead it seems he's completely regressed and fallen behind Coleman, Snead and the Morgan's.

Here you go. Look like he will be out for 2 to 3 weeks. I think he likely to be on IR or pup list this season.

My favorite topic. Ok. Snead looks great right? Brees can work with him. Joe Morgan being cocky with the ball and losing us the game. I like him but u can't do that. Coleman still gotta prove it to me. RJ Harris is my sleeper. He has a nice skill set.
