Re: Saints working out Hakeem Nicks
You have asked for WRs for 3 years now, and each year we have had one of the top offenses in the NFL... So essentially that negates the need for your suggestion, as in, we don't need another WR.

And I've posted this before, No. 1 offense in yards, not in points, and the lack of converting red zone opportunities are why we're not competing in the playoffs... |

It's great that Drew gets all this press about leading the No.1 offense, but we're not converting for touchdowns as when Colston was younger, who later was soldiering through problematic arthritis... And as a result, we're coming up short on the scoreboard more often... |

Re: Saints working out Hakeem Nicks
If you're going after Boldin you just as well bring Colston back. Colston is 3 years younger and had comparable stats.

Pick your poison... 9 route (go route) or 7 yard slant, chances are AB is going to catch the ball. If you are a stats guy, Boldin has had TWO drops in 2015 (let that sink in) which is a ridiculous low drop rate percentage. The dude is still crafty in the middle of the field. Competes on every play and from what I have read, strong locker room presence. Colston is one of my all time favorite Saints, but he isn't productive as Boldin is at this point of his career. |
