Chad Johnson, Plaxico Burress?!?

No, maybe they aren't the specific people we need, but the point is we are now very thin at WR...

Guess Coach Payton knew what he was doing when he kept six guys on the roster...

Greg Camarillo?!?

We need someone that can run accurate routes with experience...

Saints need good players without drama on or off the field. Hearing a players ' name called for the right reasons in a game, like tonight on Sunday Night Football tonight featuring and starring Tracey Porter , fine.

I'll allow your indiscretion and lack of decorum as post game frustration over an opening day loss...

Responding to your statement - No one's jumping ship...

First, we have an already injured Colston who's play may or may not have been affected by an ongoing injury - this will play out during the coming week...

Second, Devery Henderson was knocked out of the game with a head injury - these can be very serious and I'm curious to see how Goodell responds this week...

Third, Lance Moore has never played 16 games and is more of a possession receiver...

Fourth, Courtney Roby has not played a whole lot at WR in his time here and is dedicated to special teams; I believe he's even the ST Captain...

Fifth, Joe Morgan while he's shown promising speed still has rookie hands (ie drop passes, fumbles); he's really improved, but he's got a ways to geaux...

Now, that's it, that's the WR Corps...

Two injured receivers; a solid complimentary receiver; a special teamer; and a guy really playing his rookie season...

Now, I wish we could borrow a page from the Patriots and do the reverse whereby some DB's could move over to WR - but as we've seen, our DBs can't catch the ball...

So, we will look back to Arrington who was cut and maybe, may be resigned; or Andy Tanner could be elevated from the Practice Squad...

I prefer revisiting the 6' 2" Greg Camarillo who worked out with Drew Brees during the offseason and was signed mid way through preseason...

Not cool...

As for the question at hand, like Danno said, I don't think it was really a matter of depth, but just a lack of execution on all fronts.

I guess they could bring in another guy if Devery's situation is worse than it seemed, and if Tanner still has that lingering injury from the preseason, but I don't think anything drastic needs to be done about the WR corps.

Camarillo could be someone they'll have another look at if they in fact need to bring in someone temporarily.

Lots of drops is not a depth problem. We weren't focused on offense.

I am worried about Devery. Whats the word on him?

My guess is Camarilo, since now his salary isn't guaranteed for the year. Tanner should probably stay on the PS for now.

Haven't heard, looked concussed, but guess I am stating the obvious there

And apparently JP didn't come back in today so that Murphy kid was playing
