WRs

We will have new blood here.

Re: 2022 New Orleans Saints roster breakdown: Wide receivers
 

Good luck to the rookies. Hopefully one stands out.

Dixon, Merrit & Shaheed.

Meanwhile, Kevin White will likely be cut in the first wave. He's a bust. It happens.

Re: 2022 New Orleans Saints roster breakdown: Wide receivers
 

Maybe TreQuan too... we'll see.

Re: 2022 New Orleans Saints roster breakdown: Wide receivers
 

It's going to tough to get a roster spot after Thomas, Landry, Harty, Callaway, and Olave. Smith has too much competition for the team to keep him with the same results again. It's a do or die training camp for Smith. I don't think he makes the cuts this year with all the young talent that has been groomed on the practice squad.

My money is on Shaheed going to IR. The rest of the rookies and young talent will have a lot of competition at training camp. We'll see if they make the cut. Many of them will undoubtedly make the practice squad and for good reason. There is a lot of talent in the WR room this time around unlike recent years when the cupboard was bare.

Re: 2022 New Orleans Saints roster breakdown: Wide receivers
 

I'm pulling for Dixon.

Re: 2022 New Orleans Saints roster breakdown: Wide receivers
 

Shaheed has to go to IR, I think he’s going to be special.
Plus, we gave him $220,000 guaranteed.

Re: 2022 New Orleans Saints roster breakdown: Wide receivers
 

Definitely a "red shirt" season for Shaheed.

He's still rehabbing from a recent ACL (Nov 21) injury.

Re: 2022 New Orleans Saints roster breakdown: Wide receivers
 

From crap to cream of the crop in one off season.

Re: 2022 New Orleans Saints roster breakdown: Wide receivers
 

Re: 2022 New Orleans Saints roster breakdown: Wide receivers
 

And Calloway.

Re: 2022 New Orleans Saints roster breakdown: Wide receivers
 

and Hardy

Re: 2022 New Orleans Saints roster breakdown: Wide receivers
 

Article implies scariest “duos” for 2022.

Fingers crossed 🤞 on MT.

Re: 2022 New Orleans Saints roster breakdown: Wide receivers
 

If Winston can be just a little more accurate on his short throws and continue with his long bombs this WR room is going to keep a lot of DC's up late at night.

Re: 2022 New Orleans Saints roster breakdown: Wide receivers
 

Definitely feel better about them than last year even without Thomas. At this point if he plays it’s a lagniappe. Its likely Landry misses time with an injury and we will be back to square one. The big difference is that the organization has shown they acknowledge the weakness we had at the position and isn’t afraid to go out and get another one like OBJ.

Bump ...

Gotta revisit this thread on Rashid Shaheed. From a torn ACL, rehab to making plays in meaningful games for the Saints in 2022.

He's worked his a** off & deserving of the most recent praise. Pete C, get this kid more involved in the offense. He's a young talent.

Full story

Re: 2022 New Orleans Saints roster breakdown: Wide receivers
 

Re: 2022 New Orleans Saints roster breakdown: Wide receivers
 

Shaheed should be starting and Landry on the bench. If the Saints don't mess this up Olave and Shaheed should be the next great duo for many years.

Re: 2022 New Orleans Saints roster breakdown: Wide receivers
 

There's really not a true starter at WR. The top three usually share duties fairly evenly. Landry was in on the first snap against the 49er's (thus the official starter) most likely because Shaheed had just returned the opening kickoff. Shaheed has more snaps than Landry over the past two weeks. We also ran the first play in "12" personnel with Hill and Johnson both in. Landry was in for 32 snaps, Shaheed 30, and Olave 38. Shaheed was also in on 8 special teams snaps.

Saints Starters vs 49er's

Andy Dalton QB
Alvin Kamara RB
Chris Olave WR
Jarvis Landry WR
Taysom Hill TE
Juwan Johnson TE
Cesar Ruiz OL
Andrus Peat OL
James Hurst OL
Ryan Ramczyk T
Josh Andrews G

The previous week they started in "13" personnel. Landry had 32 at WR and one on ST, Olave 28, and Shaheed 28 and 11 more with ST.

Saints Starters vs Rams

Andy Dalton QB
Alvin Kamara RB
Jarvis Landry WR
Adam Trautman TE
Taysom Hill TE
Juwan Johnson TE
Calvin Throckmorton OL

Re: 2022 New Orleans Saints roster breakdown: Wide receivers
 

Get your playmakers more involved (LISTEN to the Ross Jackson video I uploaded) on Sundays was the reason for the bump. That is all.

Last time I checked the Saints are 4-8 & last in their respective division.

Insanity = doing the same thing over and expecting different results.

Stats/snap counts are irrelevant when you are losing.

Re: 2022 New Orleans Saints roster breakdown: Wide receivers
 

And, thus, why I feel Carmichael needs to be replaced as play designer/caller and Dalton replaced as QB. It's one thing to want to run the ball, but it's another to run it when it's not working ... like on 2nd and long. Nick Underhill has documented Carmichael's tendency to run the ball more than any other team in the league in that situation. It's hard to get your playmakers involved then when it's 3rd and long and your QB can't make a secondary read.

Re: 2022 New Orleans Saints roster breakdown: Wide receivers
 

Bump ...

Rashid dude. His Weber St game tape apparently didn't lie.

"The only difference between a 1st rounder and an undrafted guy is an opportunity".

Congrats on another TD catch vs Failures. A weapon in the making & his 2023 season will be even brighter :bng:

Re: 2022 New Orleans Saints roster breakdown: Wide receivers
 

One last "bump" but worthy of praise.

Rashid Shaheed.

Final stats 2022/23 - 25 rec / 454 yards / 2 TD / avg 18.2

Oh and his stats in Philly -->> 6 receptions on 6 targets / 79 yards (13.2 avg). The 58-yarder catch pass was the long.

His future is VERY BRIGHT in New Orleans.

Re: 2022 New Orleans Saints roster breakdown: Wide receivers
 

It'll be interesting to see what happens with Jarvis.

Juwan and Callaway are RFAs
Harty likely gone.

And just like the previous two off-seasons, I'll be eager to see what happens with Michael Thomas.

I'm not advocating for a trade, just curious to see the impact.

Re: 2022 New Orleans Saints roster breakdown: Wide receivers
 

Speed, very good hands, knows how to get open, this guy could be very good for our team for years to come.

Re: 2022 New Orleans Saints roster breakdown: Wide receivers
 

Take whatever you can get
He will never be worth that contract

30 when the new season starts, played in 10 games since the end of 2019 season. He needs to be part of a shedding of large vet contracts and getting younger and clearing as much cap as possible. Not redoing his deal adding void years and just extending whats turned out(Injury unforseen) to be a terrible deal.

Re: 2022 New Orleans Saints roster breakdown: Wide receivers
 

Definitely an option.

Re: 2022 New Orleans Saints roster breakdown: Wide receivers
 

I'd rather have him back and the $25 million of potential dead money actually getting something in return. Thomas, Olave, and Shaheed would be unstoppable.

Re: 2022 New Orleans Saints roster breakdown: Wide receivers
 

Bump ... (I've bumped this thread on Shaheed multiple times)

If you can play, the NFL will find you.

Re: 2022 New Orleans Saints roster breakdown: Wide receivers
 

He’s special.

Re: 2022 New Orleans Saints roster breakdown: Wide receivers
 

I am excited to see him this year....most of those passes were spot on as well.

Re: 2022 New Orleans Saints roster breakdown: Wide receivers
 

Do you involve him more in the passing game like Harty and open up the possibility to injury or do you find a new return man? Harty broke down with the additional usage. Will Shaheed? He's not that much bigger. There's no doubt that he can be a weapon but where does his greatest value lie? We can always draft another speedster or find an UDFA deep threat. That's worked before. ;)
