Where is COLSTON?

ScottyRo · 10-15-2007, 05:12 PM

I don't know why it's being said his production is down. He's got 23 catches for 218 yards - and that's after yesterday's 1 catch game. That puts him on pace for 70+ catches and 650 yards. The yardage is down a bit, but he can only catch what is being thrown to him and the Saints are throwing shorter this year.

Is his production really down or he just doing less than you expected?

I noticed he looked down after the TD too, but, remember that was following his two drops. Maybe he was just ticked at himself and wasn't going to let one catch for a TD make him feel better about two drops.

The team knows what Colston can do and so does the defenses we face. The other WR are being singled out to see who will play. I hope I am wrong but I think it is on purpose. By going to the #2 and #3 more it will free Colston up more. It also goes a long way to determining what to do with Henderson and his contract year. Right now I see him walking away as a FA and we will get a comp pick for him and that will be the end of his saints saga.

After dropping the first TD pass thrown to him he looked "out of sorts". It was comical though to see him attempt to spike the ball after the TD he did catch...seems he couldn't hold on to the ball then either. He is young and inexperienced but will prove worthy of his talent.

"Reggie has disappeared"

I thought he had finally showed up. Last week I would have agreed with you 100%. He looks a lot better going north and south than he does trying to make the corner. I hope he finds his stride. Maybe it was a fluke. We'll see.

I think I read in the paper before the Seattle game that Copper was injured...
