Why Joseph Morgan should be nervous

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Colston, Stills, Cooks, Meachthem, Toon and Morgan. Coleman or Hawkins to PS. I don't get why Morgan would be nervous unless he get injured again....

Re: Why Joseph Morgan should be nervous

Consistency is Toons downfall

its no suprise that he got less and less snaps as the season went on

he made an amazing catch vs bears, then dropped an easy TD 4 plays later
He batted 2 balls in the air vs jets, one was picked

He has more drops than regular season catches so far

Not sure I agree. When I think of Morgan, I think of speed. But when I look at the 40 times for our receivers who are, realistically, fighting for a roster spot or will make the team, here's what we have.

Joseph Morgan: 6'0 4/12, 4.38 40 time (Pro Day)
Joe Morgan*|*Walsh,*WR*:*2011 NFL Draft Scout Player Profile

Nick Toon: 6'1 7/12, 4.43 40 time (Pro Day)
Nick Toon*|*Wisconsin,*WR*:*2012 NFL Draft Scout Player Profile

Kenny Stills: 6'0 4/12, 4.32 40 time (Combine)
*Kenny Stills*|*Oklahoma,*WR*:*2013 NFL Draft Scout Player Profile

Meachem had a 4.39 combine time, but he's slower now, of course. But Meachem has also been our best blocking WR for some time, plus he has a good working relationship with Brees and knows how to get open and knows his role.

So we have two more speedsters in Cooks and Stills, both able to do what Morgan is primarily known for and both faster. Toon was 0.05 seconds slower in his 40 time than Morgan plus is younger. And, so far, he's had a very good OTA (but we'll see when the pads go on how he performs).

For me, with players who are faster, or nearly the same as Morgan, he seems like the odd man out. With a taller receiver in both Toon and Meachem, and you can't teach height, I think Morgan could be on the outside looking in if he doesn't blow people away in TC

On a side note, I love Morgan and really see some tough cuts coming this season

Toon was only on the 45 man active roster eight times last season. The Saints only had four WR's active most weeks. Toon made the roster when Colston, Meachem and Moore missed weeks due to injury. He was the odd man out. It is hard to get consistent when you seldom work with the 1st string.

The Saints usually only carry five WR's on the 53 man roster. Colston, Stills, Cooks and Toon are probably locks. That leaves one opening for Meachem or Morgan. There is reason to be nervous.

My bad. Then Colston should be nervous.

Re: Why Joseph Morgan should be nervous

Toon has so much potential that it pisses me off thinking about him possibly not capitalizing on his opportunity. He has perfect size and speed... Just gotta make those catches! When it comes to Joe Morgan... Look, we all loved that awesome play against the Buccaneers 2 seasons ago but I think it's time to move on. One-dimensional fast guys are a dime a dozen. Who knows if he's even that fast anymore after these injuries.

Morgan or Toon might not make this squad. The funny thing is Coleman just might.

I'm pretty sure they typically keep 6 on the roster, and one year under Payton they kept 7.

Coleman has a ton of work to do as he has not looked that good so far. Toon is in IMO and Meac will be cut. Coleman to the PS
