you're joking right?

Our defense has actually been getting better. We had Eli in check most of the game and got two interceptions off of him. The kickoff return Tds and the stalled 4th/1 drive that resulted in a fg was what lost us this game and because of those the saints played defeated. But we might need to work on the offense some. I'm getting tired of the other top qbs having big receivers while Brees doesnt have that(Graham is a TE). I just want to see what Brees could do with a Julio Jones type receiver on the team.

You're out of your WHO DAT mind if you want to go into 2013 season with the current defense and not upgrading. The defense has gotten better but only from a hot garbage point of view...

The Giants just put up 50 points on them!!

Well, Julio Jones is listed as 6-3 and 220 while Colston is listed as 6-4 and 225, so as far as their stature goes - Colston is as big of a receiver as Jones is.

Naturally the two are different in their skill-sets and how they are used in their respective offenses, but as you made the statement about the stature of the receivers, I think that point is moot.

Also, Nick Toon is listed as 6-3 (6-4 by the Saints) and 218, so he is another receiver the Saints will most likely have in their arsenal next season who is of the same stature as Julio Jones.
