If Cook had another WR that could take the top off the defense or at least be respected for that ability It would solve the problem of getting contained. He needs help. He is just too short to handle it by himself. Right now I do not see it on the roster.

The saints really do not do a good job of complement drafting or FA signings to max a players skill set.

Hagan...Cooks is they guy that takes the top off the defense, we just needed to get the big bangers to replace Colston and Graham...

I preferred Treadwell, but will see what we got in Thomas now that it's real football, with real contact...

Still think we need more proven veterans for the WR corps and Boldin and Hartline are all that's left...
