I don't want the Saints to emulate what other teams do, or copy the way other GM's and coaches approach the game. I want the Saints and Payton to keep doing what they are doing, which is to be cutting edge, innovative, different and BETTER. Traditional #1, #2, #3 receiver is not our style. Even a guy like Jed Collins can get in on the action with Brees and the Saints, and there's no question from Sunday that it worked, and kept Chicago on their heels. Jed Collins!
Kudos, and I totally agree.....why is it that we have fit inside the mold of what other teams do.....we have everything we need. Sometimes a great W is just that..... A great W....

Did you really just say that Graham is not a receiver, and Colston is a TE? LoL Hypocrite much? Craziness abounds! Hahaha Good luck convincing Sean and Drew that Jimmy is not a receiver.

I misread Brees , I thought his arm was losing juice turns out nobody's open ! The last time someone was open was Meach over the top which Brees placed beautifully.

The heavy utilization of Sproles in the pass game is a telling sign that nobody is open as Sproles the check down.

I'm not saying we need to do anything crazy as I am in love with stills but one has to ponder what Brees could do with a Fitzgerald , megaton or Julio Jones.


I think it's time we gave Brees a real threat.

Marquise Lee is the highest decorated receiver since AJ green and Julio Jones ... We both know how those turned out.
I can't believe what you have just said. Our offense, for years now, has been dangerous BECAUSE we don't have a true number one receiver. Week to week teams are guessing, and even we are to an extent, who is going to be the one. I am happy with our receiving corps because we have no prima donnas and each receiver/back/tight-end knows his place and what he does for the TEAM. Case in point is the Dolphin game. Sproles tore them up early on so they thought they should cover him, then Jimmy Graham pops up with 4 catches for 100 yards so they go for him and Colston, who had been quiet up to then is 3 yards short of 100. No, let the other teams have their Megatrons and Jones's. Their Greens and their Fitzgeralds. Let us have a greater variety and do what we are doing because other teams are finding it hard to plan for all of us.

Re: We need a True No.1 receiver ...

Anyone hear an update on Lance Moore and his hand situation?
He's been inactive for a few weeks now. Just curious.

Maybe we should call them ball catchers instead of recievers/tightends/backs.
