Hakeem Nicks working out for Saints

darstep · 09-09-2015, 06:20 AM

If he can help, sign him. He's probably cheap.
They cut what they thought were players that would not help.
If he can get open, catch the ball, and hang on to the ball, then he can help.
I will work backwards:
If he can't hang on to the ball, it doesn't matter if he can catch.
If he can't catch, it doesn't matter that he can get open.
If he can't get open, none of it matters.
If they are working him out then they recognize receiving deficiencies in our current group.
If they think he can fit a need I will trust their judgment.
If he doesn't work out, then next man up.

I've had enough trouble saying Hakeem Nicks instead of Akiem Hicks, and Akiem Hicks instead of Hakeem Nicks.

Put 'em on the same team? The screams of terror are already echoing in every corner of my mind. But I suppose he would be a better option than having an empty seat as our 5th WR.

I think it would be beneficial. Brees will have him looking like his old self when he had 1,000 yards and 11 TD's. He can bounce back.

It is Wed and there are no other talks, so it will be him or RJ Harris or S Jones. You can't go into a game with 4 WR, 2 TE's and 1 FB.
Maybe Murphy at wideout? Strief at his old position of tackle-eligible in short yardage?

I am all for seeing what he can do. He has the ability maybe he just needs the right coach and QB

QBREES9 · 09-10-2015, 12:11 PM

Coleman made the team.

I really don't get nor like the Warren cut. I just start to forget about it until someone mentions him and I start my downward spiral of disappointment and anger again. Not saying he is an amazing safety,but damn, that dude made plays and has potiental to be a pro-bowler IMO. I just don't get it....locker room problems maybe? Or maybe his FU's overshadowed his good plays?

Bree's accuracy resurrects Hicks and he plays in the Pro Bowl, 6 touchdowns and 1100 yards receiving.

And we may not need someone like Nicks if we'd taken a viable WR in the 6th last year instead of OT Rooks who we cut.

And the Chief just cut. After a heart attack on the field.

Ex-Chiefs tackle Rooks had a heart attack; team still helping him

He turned out to be a crappy pick for us but that was a scary story. Really unusual getting a blod-clot that young. Glad he made it and is okay. Its a nice move by the Chiefs to pick up all the cost for his treatment.
