New Orleans Saints question of the day: Could Joe Morgan's arrest open the door for Devery Henderson's return?
 

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Joe Morgan only had 10 receptions last season. But with his 37.9 yards per catch average and three touchdowns of 80, 48 and 34 yards, he effectively locked down the deep threat role that Devery Henderson had occupied for many seasons.

The writing was on the wall for the 31-year-old Henderson, who caught 22 passes for 316 yards and one touchdown in 2012. He was allowed to become a free agenty after eight seasons with the Saints and is still available, although the San Francisco 49ers are reportedly interested in signing him.

I doubt we cut Joe for a 1st time screw up. If we did that we'd set a pretty bad precedent.

He’ll get a 2nd chance, and he should.

The Henderson ship has sailed.

Re: New Orleans Saints question of the day: Could Joe Morgan's arrest open the door for Devery Henderson's return?
 

I think it boils down to Morgan's presence in the locker room. A lot of teams would use this as an excuse to get rid of a PITA player. If Morgan is a good teammate, he'll stay in the black and gold and Devery'll be tellin' Harbaugh all about us real soon.

Re: New Orleans Saints question of the day: Could Joe Morgan's arrest open the door for Devery Henderson's return?
 

Damn I don't want D Henderson with that team. Morgan screwed up, he's not getting cut. I think he will pay the price for it, on the bench

Re: New Orleans Saints question of the day: Could Joe Morgan's arrest open the door for Devery Henderson's return?
 

Always tough choices Devery was good for this team much more left in the tank than when Joe blow my own Horn finished. Devery is just a likable guy. I would like to see him finish but not in SF also. Its the way of the world Payton is trying to go younger and I dont blame him for that. NFL (not for long) No matter your job all of us will be replaced with young guys on day or another just takes longer if your not a pro player.

as long as devery doesn't go to the cowboys r falcons r bucs r panthers r eagles I wish him luck....

Re: New Orleans Saints question of the day: Could Joe Morgan's arrest open the door for Devery Henderson's return?
 

I would say there is no defense that is more experienced with defensing against Henderson than ours.

We are fine no matter where he goes.

Re: New Orleans Saints question of the day: Could Joe Morgan's arrest open the door for Devery Henderson's return?
 

Morgan is a game changer, his tds were amazing.... The one at seasons end where he drags EJ biggers 5 yards to the end zone..... Wow

We are all due one mess up, I'm sure Payton will call him in and have a chat with him....Brees will probably walk him through the doors at dmv

Re: New Orleans Saints question of the day: Could Joe Morgan's arrest open the door for Devery Henderson's return?
 

I like the fact that he pulled over rather than continue driving..........a DUI is uncool but he at least showed some restraint. The NFL will probably come down hard on him because he's a Saint.

Re: New Orleans Saints question of the day: Could Joe Morgan's arrest open the door for Devery Henderson's return?
 

he'll get a second chance, and he deserves it

the man is a highlight reel!

Re: New Orleans Saints question of the day: Could Joe Morgan's arrest open the door for Devery Henderson's return?
 

The only way I see him getting cut is if he walks into the facility and tells, Payton, Benson and Loomis to go take a flying leap; when they give him his punishment.

So no, Joe's not going anywhere.

Re: New Orleans Saints question of the day: Could Joe Morgan's arrest open the door for Devery Henderson's return?
 

Agreed, Henderson retired after the 2011 campaign, he just didn't tell anyone. Joe Morgan can go to. He made a couple of highlight catches to go with his total of 10. Couldn't catch anything in preseason.

Re: New Orleans Saints question of the day: Could Joe Morgan's arrest open the door for Devery Henderson's return?
 

I believe he will have to be on his best behavior and practice really, really well!! All eyes are on you now.

Re: New Orleans Saints question of the day: Could Joe Morgan's arrest open the door for Devery Henderson's return?
 

The only restraint he showed is not driving on and Expressway w/ a flat tire.

Re: New Orleans Saints question of the day: Could Joe Morgan's arrest open the door for Devery Henderson's return?
 

Ha! Seeing you are from Tomball.. I cant count the number of vehicles I have seen rolling down 290 on a flat tire. ;-)

Re: New Orleans Saints question of the day: Could Joe Morgan's arrest open the door for Devery Henderson's return?
 

wth get these bible thumping holly rollers of the sports page already.

its like anger management for players.

Screw up again then open your stupid mouth. who wrote this garbage. brb i will need to edit

Re: New Orleans Saints question of the day: Could Joe Morgan's arrest open the door for Devery Henderson's return?
 

WTF are you talking about? :confused:

Re: New Orleans Saints question of the day: Could Joe Morgan's arrest open the door for Devery Henderson's return?
 

I'll be curious if Toon steps up and if this opens a spot for him for more playing time.

Re: New Orleans Saints question of the day: Could Joe Morgan's arrest open the door for Devery Henderson's return?
 

i was going to delete it but i guess i need to leave it now. i was reading again and felt i was not PC enough. I am falling into the trap.

30 years ago this would not be an issue like it is today and that is due to this zero tolerance policy people have. I just get tired of all the over reaction because a person makes a mistake. No one got hurt and he was lucky. this time.

now as for the article i am surprised Katherine Terrell wrote this she does good work i guess it was a filler piece. I did not mean to rip the writer as much as the ideology it supports

Re: New Orleans Saints question of the day: Could Joe Morgan's arrest open the door for Devery Henderson's return?
 

Not justifying it, but I feel a lot differently about this because he was pulled over. Big mistake, granted, but I see Payton and Co using this as motivation and Morgan will make the most of the second opportunity...

Re: New Orleans Saints question of the day: Could Joe Morgan's arrest open the door for Devery Henderson's return?
 

I don't see any Bible thumping or holy roller stuff going on anywhere.

Re: New Orleans Saints question of the day: Could Joe Morgan's arrest open the door for Devery Henderson's return?
 

Hell, 290 is hazardous w/ air in all 4 tires...........

Re: New Orleans Saints question of the day: Could Joe Morgan's arrest open the door for Devery Henderson's return?
 

How do the other young receivers look?
Don't see Morgan getting cut first time out though
