He was a little slow to assimilate the position and completely understand Sean Payton's complex & extensive play book. I wish him well wherever he ends up. Maybe Sanders should just listen to his next QB about route running and not argue....we all know that Drew is the master!

Edit: My original posts said Kwon...don't ask me why. Brain F***!

I wish I could like this ten times papaz. In practically every game they played with some type of patchwork lineup at practically every position and still got the number 2 seed.

To add to that Rugs, didn’t he have some injury time missed? Seems likes many of our FA WR signings seem to spend significant time on IR. The Bears WR is another and Ginn Jr did as well IIRC.

Yeah, I think you're right! But we got a new pro scouting director now so hopefully we bring in healthy free agents. We do tend to gamble on injured veterans staying healthy in New Orleans. It worked for Drew. But it's been kinda' hit or miss since then. We've had some successful free agents....just not often enough.

The Saints are loaded with young WR talent. If they can learn how to avoid injuries, the Saints will be in excellent shape.

This has been a huge issue as of late. It seems we have entered the last few post-seasons with key injuries either limiting play or sidelining the player entirely.

Or maybe he was confused with the recruitment/signing talk of we want to stretch the field, and we were unable to deliver the ball (i.e. air-yards) down the field?

Point being, we did not use Emmanuel Sanders to his strengths - and Sean, like most good coachs, use to build the playbook based on the talent he had, not a system...

With regards to injuries, the best teams overcome them, and the Saints did during regular season...

Based on the last four post-seasons, it seems to be more of a post-season mental block that starts at the top of the organization...

Emmanuel Sanders was good in New Orleans. Unfortunately, he wasn't effectively used as we would have liked down field.

I'd argue the only time he caught anything deep was when Taysom was under center. In 14 games he had over 800 yards, 5 TD's and 33 1st downs by receptions. Reliable hands, good locker room guy and was a mentor.

It is what it is though. Good luck with his next team.
