FORGOTTEN MAN: WR Carlton Brewster

SaintFanInATLHELL · 03-19-2008, 07:05 AM

Foreverfan,

Do you actually ever talk about defense? Mendenhall, receivers, this guy above (whoever he is).

You'd think that we have the Baltimore Raven or SF 49ner offense or something. The Saints receiver corps that you keep trashing was #1 in attempts and completions, Top 3 in yards, top 10 in TDs. And that's with the team being near the top of the league in on target drops.

There's nothing that the Saints organization has done in the offseason so far to indicate that Payton is in fact the offensive Nazi that you have in your avatar. Each and every move so far has been shoring up the defense.

The Saints already have a top receiver prospect on staff. They already have 3 pretty reliable guys behind Colston. And frankly Reggie really is a slot receiver more than anything else. Don't even get me started on the 83 TEs that we have on staff.

What additional defensive adjustments do we need to make so that the Saints defense can get off the field on third down? How can we improve the pass rush? How can we improve the safety play? How can we get Jason David off the field because he's worse than having no player on the receiver at all?

Can the great cat guru answer these questions please? Because those are the questions that will make the difference between going deep in the playoffs in 2008 and sitting home again wondering who'll line up opposite Colston.

Yes the defense does need to improve. But he is bringing up a good point here. Take away Colston, Bush and Patton catches, we do do not have squat. We have to get Mech to live up to his draft pick first. After that all the other WR not mentioned can be replaced. They are nothing special. Patton aint getting any younger either. The position is not that strong. Colston is the only thing we have for the future. Mech is in limbo so I will say one and a half.

Plus Patton is older than Grandma Moses. Chances are, he will lose a step soon. Bush is not a true receiver so that only leave Colston. Personally, I think Henderson (minus the drops) is a player. His stats are off the charts.
