Offense must take a hit for defense to improve

Get rid of Colston....?

I say here are some of the offensive weapons we need to use as trade bait or release.

Colston. As trade bait. Lets face it, my granny can catch a ball in traffic from Drew. Besides we have Lance Moore.

Lance Moore. If we keep Colston..He's trade Bait.

Will Smith
Devery (As much as I love him) He's a #1 on most teams.
P.T. (Waiting for the "Are you Freakin CRAZY"'s)
Ivory If we keep PT.

I wait here for the bashing to begin.

I don't think we can mess with our RB's too much. First time in years we've had stability there, and with Ingram out, PT out, it would have been sketchy with Ivory and Sproles. Ivory was due for an injury (he's great but he's hurt a lot) and we would been searching un-signed players to make it through the playoffs had we continued.

Colston is a big part of our offense, but something has to give here......

I totally 100% agree.

We need more balance. Not less. Record breaking offense (all positives) are fantastic. But it goes to show, Brees - fantastic as he is - and what great joy he has brought the franchise was not enough to get us to the NFC Championship game, and that is now for 2 consecutive years.

Agree here too. This continues my need more balance. Saturday we got screwed partly because we lost PT and that was despite Sproles and Ivory. And let us not feed the wound by remembering our RB (and defense) situation of our previous playoff campaign.

It is a tricky one. We love our stars but we can't have it all. Somewhere we have to be less emotional and more objective and say let one or two of our stars develop elsewhere, for the benefit of the TEAM.
