Crowded WR Battle

jjasso007 · 05-14-2014, 04:35 PM

Locked: Colston, Stills, Cooks

Most likely will make the roster
Meachem: Knows the offense and is reliable. Plus he's our best blocking WR.

Up in the air
Joseph Morgan: Had a nice season in 2012 but was injured last season. If he's finally healthy, he has a good chance

Nick Toon: The light just hasn't quite came on, so this training camp will be a "make it or break it" camp for him. He has the measurables the league looks for in a WR, but he drops too many passes. If he's finally fixed that drop problem, he may beat out Morgan. If not, Morgan will take it

Brandon Coleman: Almost 6'7 and runs a 4.52 40. Has a tendency to catch the ball with his body which leads to drops, but if he can work on that, plus his route running, he may contribute this season. If not, he'll make the IR

Thanks for applying but the positions have been filled
Andy Tanner
Seantavius Jones
Chris Givens
Charles Hawkins

A nice season? He had 10 catches the entire season/career. You could replace him with one of the backup offensive lineman and Drew could get him 10 catches a season. If he doesn't step up big real real soon he should be easy to replace.

True but speed kills. He will get his chance this year.

Speed only kills if there is a catch on the other end of it. Morgan has been so unproductive that he doesn't even open things up for the other WR's. That's why Cooks is here. Meacham doesn't have anything left in the tank and Toon has done even less than Morgan. I think both get another shot in preseason, but I wouldn't be surprised to see either or both cut. Tanner doesn't have one tenth the talent of either, but would bring more on the field production. I'm hoping a couple of the new guys show real potential. If 2 of the 3 Meacham, Toon or Morgan are on the 53 man roster then we have ZERO depth at WR.

This is pure garbage !!! Morgan averaged 20 YpC when healthy ... Our problem was we couldn't take the top off the defenses we played which meant we played on their terms ...

Having 3 guys that can take the top off a defense at any time is unheard of , if they double graham we have way too much speed with stills Morgan and cooks for almost everyone not to be open , Drews gonna be giddy with options to throw to

He didn't take the top off of anything, because he was no threat to catch the ball. He's a one trick pony, go deep is all he has. Then the odds of him catching it are slim. If Brees trusted him he would have more than 10 career catches.

10 receptions, 3 TDs and a 37.9 yards per catch average. As Exile said, speed kills and he did what we needed him to do. Plus he's 6'1, so has some height. Also have to take into account that was his first year on the field, so there was only room to improve in the reception department.
