Better O Line would result in better receiver play. Give Brees time and watch him be himself ; torchin any secondary.

It's not a guarantee the oline will be fixed and pay off next season. Cooks cannot outplay peterson. Oline should be top priority but there needs to be insurance.


I can't do this anymore, Brees will throw interceptions with protection if the receivers don't beat the secondary.

Bingo! I still don't understand why this has to keep being mentioned. I agree that a big aggressive number 1 receiver will help Cooks and Snead, but if pressure keeps getting in Drews face, its irrelevant. Now, you can look at it as having that receiver for the future for when we do finally get a beast O line,but who will be throwing to him by then? Much more pressing needs IMO to be chasing a WR with a top draft pick or a top FA acquisition.

I never said with the top pick or the top FA acquisition but it needs to be a pick or one of the FA grabs.

If it is true Colston was already good before Brees threw to him, then having another fill that void is important. Do I trust Coleman? Not in a must win situation I don't. It's like the dolphins game Brees had to throw to Colston to come back in that game. He had to throw to Colston to turn the Thanksgiving game around in Dallas. Colston opened the game up against GB in 08 with that big TD catch. Yeah Brees can turn receivers into better ones but they were not number ones. For example when we go to Arrowhead next year and KC is gonna put the heat on us who is gonna step up and get the saints in scoring position. Do you Trust Coleman or Snead to make it happen in that atmosphere? And you can't run on them. We got killed in Denver in 12 because Colston was bottled up by Bailey, Graham was getting covered and Moore did not step up who we needed to. Even Henderson could not deal with that defense. We could only throw a TD to Sproles after Graham had the first one early on.
