Apparently Mr. Triplett hasn't been watching the pre season games. If he had, he would know that Roby has not only has stepped up, but he's been a monster.

Roby has done a good job of stepping up. To say noone has stepped up is a bit misleading.

Looks like it's Joe Morgan, Andy Tanner, and Courtney Roby's job to lose those remaining WR spots.

For someone other than that to step up would be a complete shock.

As much as I thought he would be gone, it looks like Roby will be making the team again. He looked solid in the New England game. Tanner has looked pretty impressive, as well. Morgan has looked good on some plays and bad on others. I would say Tanner and Roby have the upper hand right now.

One thing Morgan has going for him is his speed. Meachem's departure leaves the Saints with one less downfield threat and I think the coaches will consider it. It might not be enough for him to the roster but it will certainly help his cause.

I'd be quite disappointed to see Toon hit the IR. Worst case scenario for him, I see him no worse than fifth WR on the game day roster by the end of the year, with Roby playing 4th. If he doesn't get any time in preseason, he can hit the PR for awhile and get up to speed while Roby and Tanner dress.

I understand what people see in Morgan, but for me he has to show a lot more in the next few preseason games if he expects to beat out Tanner for the PR WR spot, let alone the active roster. Roby is to much of a proven commodity and playing too well, Morgan is too much of an unknown. Tanner has alao outperformed him. Drops wont do it for Morgan. I'll eat my words if Morgan has a couple good games against the Jags and Texans.

IR would not be bad at all- all of our receivers take time to develop: Devery couldn't catch an STD in the Quarter his first year, and Meachem never even made the active roster.
We have been spoiled by having a productive #5, but I am fine with Sproles, Graham, PT, Colston, Moore and Henderson catching 4-5 more balls each
