Happy to hear Colston is helping the other WRs. But I always thought that the leader thing was overrated.

Leaders are very important to all teams in all sports, because without leaders you have a bunch of followers. Let's say you have nothing but followers on your team and T.O. is your receiver, what kind of team do you think you'll going to have.

A team of prima donas with little regard for authority and accountability!

Wish it was Henderson that took that job as a team leader. Sorry, nice of a second year guy to do that but he is just that a second year guy. He can start to learn the in outs of being a leader. Lets call him an apprintist leader.

I don't care if your a 2nd year starter or a 20 year vet. leadership can not be learned (i.e. sending Brooks to leadership camp helped alot didn't it.) If you have been a leader your whole life, then you are a leader, and regardless of how much experience you have in your particular job you can still lead a group into hypotetical battle. Colston IS our #1 reciever he IS the leader of this corps. he NEEDS to pick up the leadership role. I for one am happy to see a star reciever who is not selfish, and who is willing to help a guy even if that guy could VERY WELL take his position.

Colston... the perfect Saint. I'm so glad he's going to be a part of this team for a long long time. We should consider giving him an extension sometime during or after the season. If he continues to play the way he plays, it would be wise to lock him up earlier before his stock goes out the roof.

When the Saint drafted Colston in the 7th round I have to admit, I didn't even pay attention to him, then when he came to mini camp outer shape I thought, that's a rap, he's a gonna. And when the Saints parted ways with Stalworth and anointed this kid the starter, I thought the Coaching staff lost their minds(shows you how much I know). But when this kid showed the work ethic and professionalism of a 10 year vet, and his pure athleticism, knowledge, and domination in his rookie season, I really knew this kid was special. And now in just his second season, he's showing the leadership skills of a seasoned 10 year vet, I think if this kid stays healthy and consistent he has the making of a great one. Oh yeah, one more thing, I learn not to question this Regine about the moves they make, even if it seems a lil weird, I will trust in them no matter what it may look like on the surface, they proved to me they know exactly what they'll doing.
