Let's Talk Nawlins Wideouts

It could be a very interesting camp. her's what we have and my immediate thoughts-

HORN- #1 but definitely at the age when WRs get real old real fast. His attitude might not be a great match with Payton. I think he will have a big year if he stays healthy. After that, no one knows.

STALLWORTH- rumored on the trading block, has seemed to toughen up and get over injury bug. He does seem like a better match in a more vertical offensive game. Gotta think attitude is an issue for the trade talk. Free agent next year, I'd rather get a high second round pick for him than see him walk away with no compensation.

HENDERSON- has been erratic but Haz played him so little it is hard to tell what exactly he can and cannot do. If he has what it takes i could see him taking over at a starting spot. If not, he probably won't have much future in NOLA since he was a Haz guy.

LEWIS- if he isn't back to his former kick return threat level he may not even make the team. He isn't good for much besides that. It was a nice story but it may be over.

CHRIS HORN- looks like a stud special teamer and classic backup to me.

HASS- he already seems to be a fan favorite! a classic west coast offense posession guy. Looks like a great fit in this group.

LYMAN- if ever healthy he could be another ideal WC receiver. that IF is so big that he may be on the practice squad this year. Then again, he could be as good as the #3 guy.

COLSTON- Reminds me a lot of Lyman but a bit bigger/slower but much more healthier. A big jump from Hofstra to the NFL. Plenty of Hall of Famers have jumped that far though. Probably raw enough to keep and develop.

POOLE- will have to have a "heckuva" preseason to stick IMO

Looks like the practice squad will have a couple of good guys on it! Trading someone for areas of greater need looks very sensible.
