A quick look at the WR

Evan Moore 6’7 236lbs
Todd Blythe 6’5 214lbs
Marques Colston 6’4 231lbs
Adrian Arrington 6’3 204lbs
Robert Meachem 6’2 214lbs
Dante Ridgeway 6’1 200lbs
Terrance Copper 6’0 207lbsRyan Titus 6’0 193lbs
Devery Henderson 5’11 200lbs
David Patten 5’10 190lbs
Lance Moore 5’9 190lbs
Skylar Green 5’9 190lbs

Some one get me a step ladder.
Think the idea is to have Drew throw up hill? He is only 6'0" after all.

On a side note. I am really hoping Meachem made the most of last year because he is the only player we have with enough speed and better hands, to make Henderson into trade bait.
Yep my usual Henderson bashing wish.

Re: A quick look at the WR

you've done it again.......
if the saints don't play what's his name the amount of time needed i believe they only get a 3rd.......just use him towards the end when we need him, for the playoffs,
so, we trade henderson and hopefully a 4th for shockey and it's a done deal..........

Re: A quick look at the WR

Starters
Marques Colston 6’4 231lbs
Adrian Arrington 6’3 204lbs
Robert Meachem 6’2 214lbs
Terrance Copper 6’0 207lbs
Devery Henderson 5’11 200lbs
David Patten 5’10 190lbs

Practice Squad
Dante Ridgeway 6’1 200lbs
Lance Moore 5’9 190lbs

This is the way I think it ends up. Moore could even make the final roster as a special team/WR but that would mean that Copper would either be practice squad or no squad.

Re: A quick look at the WR

i disagree....i think that arrington is on the borderline...for sum reason ppl keep puttin him on the roster and nobody argues it....he is not guarenteed a spot...he is short...he doesnt have good speed....his hands are good but if he isnt taller than the DBs it isnt going to help since he cant jump higher than them either....i like our WRs from last year...Lance moore is a good receiver and could start on some teams even tho i dont like him too much...i think arrington is overhyped on these forums and i think its unlikely he makes the team....maybe practice squad or limited playing time...he will not start however....i look for colston and patten to hold down the WR position even tho i dont like patten cuz hes short too...meachem will be 3rd and eventually take pattens spot...can u imagine colston and meachem on the outside....especially after we put patten in the slot....holy moly....thats scary

I dream it every night. Now I am throwing in a WR at 6'5"+ into the other slot in a 4 WR set with Bush in the backfield. LOL

Re: A quick look at the WR

You did look at his measurements before you called Arrington short and slow right? Bare in mind also that Colston isn't exactly a burner himself. Sure Arrington isn't guaranteed a spot, but his chances are slightly better than the UDFA's. If he makes the team, he'll hold the last roster spot at WR. Expecting him to be a starter or get significant playing time would be a bit much... but heck Colston did it. If you show that you can produce, Payton will find a place to play you.

This is how I'd like for it to play out...

Colston and Meachem starting with Patten in the slot. Henderson as our 4th, Cooper 5th, and Arrington winning out the last spot. It all depends on how much Meachem has grown this past year.

Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.

All little common sense goes a long way.

i didnt mean to say short i meant to say small....but ur right...he has good height....he has a very wirey frame...kinda lanky...his breakaway speed fails to impress because he couldnt breakaway.....his hands are his strong point...he can catch the ball which is the most important characteristic in NFL WRs....i just dont see him being an effective threat in our offense

Hey Hagan I have to say that Moore really intrigues me and has a shot just like anyone else and at 6'7'' and 236 not many could cover at the back of the end zone
