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... |

And I will say it again, if the saints play the packers in the playoffs, Brees will have to put up points! |
