Colston

lumm0x · 09-14-2015, 10:12 AM

Yeah lots of blatant over reaction fans here. Colston has lost a step and is in his declining time but I think there are still ways to use him. Since hearing of the Graham trade I have been hopeful that we would migrate Colston to a similar role as Graham. Put him in as a receiving tight end. He doesn't have the speed anymore to get any separation on db's but he could be a size/speed mismatch on a lb'er.

I don't think this guy is a lost cause or anyone else we cut was a better option. Colston is a good teammate, locker room presence and solid veteran and he will make his mark this year. He did nothing yesterday to suggest to me he isn't valuable. The pick was not his fault and the catches he missed were marginal throws at best.

The INT was deflected by the defender before reaching Colston, so I wouldn't blame him for that.

3 drops from MC that are normally routine.

Colston only had 1 really good game against Carolina last year. Something's in his head. He has caught all of those types of passes from Brees in the past and just drops them all now. Fitzgerald is slower now but the man catches the ball.

I initially was saying this ^^^^^^^ last season. A year later, same results. He is simply in decline mode as a WR. It happens.

Colston can't get open anymore and he never breaks tackles anymore. I think he's done.
