Gel as in the defense not getting torched early and often and the offese looking like they did at the end of the season. Some serious intensity is needed from them from the first game on.

A pass rush will make everyone look better on defense.

I especially was surprised with the Arrington pick. Never heard of him but after a little research came to the conclusion that Payton is a genius. If he works hard he has the talent to be a big time reciever sort of like marcus Colston.

Loomis on Adrian Arrington...
“We liked the potential that he has and the level of competition he has played against and think that there is something there that we can work with,” said Loomis. “He has good size and ball skills and think that he’ll benefit from the veterans that we have at the position and from the coaching that he’ll get when he gets in our program.”


"He had a couple things while he was at Michigan. We spent a lot of time talking about it. Clearly, it was the reason why he wasn't drafted earlier," Loomis said, then added, "He's got a high grade on our board, talent-wise, there's no question."


Those quotes were from NOLA.com and the official site.

I think we might have a find here, guys.

Payton didn't draft Henderson, so he might want his own WRs on the field.

Re: Colston,Meach,Arrington....

Henderson is a tease. Plain and simple. We all know what he can do ann we all say the same thing each year: Maybe. Just maybe, he will come around.
Let Patten do what he has been doing. Player coach for the young bucs. if he can get Mech to perform Hendersons days here all but numbered. Mech is our new speed guy. Lets see what falls out of trash for 5th and 6th spots. This should be a good battle.
Adrian Arrington is the one to watch as we all know. In the UDFA it was reported by NFL Draft Countdown that we signed
Todd Blythe - Iowa St. 6'5, 214, 4.61
I have not seen this confirmed anywhere else so I am holding my breath. If so he would be a great addition. Think a big tall Dallas Clark type here. TE/WR that loves to hit and be hit. If he comes into the mix it could become very interesting. This is a nice pet project.

I think Billy Miller will be a weapon to deal with- he just started to come on at the end of the season.

Re: Colston,Meach,Arrington....

you guys keep talking about what if, when talking about Robert Meachum. I have to admit that I don't know much about him. He never played last year, even though he was our #1 draft pick. So would someone please tell me why you people are so high on him?

Re: Colston,Meach,Arrington....

We're missing a Welker type receiver, and maybe Arrington is the guy. We need a receiver that can catch it over the middle and find daylight. When he is about to make contact, he needs to instantly protect the ball and himself. Sounds easy, but very few receivers have that knack for avoiding the big hit over the middle like Welker.

it is not so much that we are High on him, it is more that we all realize he is an important key to the future of the WR position. After Colston and Patten there are nothing but ??? We have all seen on the field already. We are going for those positive vibes here. He pans out to be a solid #3/#2 this year we are set at WR for a few years. next step is addressing all the back ups. Which I hope Arrington does. it would be nice to have a solid #4/#5 guy that can develop into a dependable #3 by next year.
