How? You can go back 10 years in this Saints offense and see that the scheme creates productive tight ends. Let's not forget that a year ago there was all this hand wringing about JG being shipped to Seattle. 74 catches, 825 yards, and 6 TDs later...

Point is the TE position has produced like that each and every year. I see it the other way around, the Saints offense is going to help Fleener, who may be a Pro Bowl TE by the end of the season.
I would love to see Colston in a wr coach role

If Cooks wasn't underthrown he would have racked up some more tds
He has a great ability to go over the shoulder in stride for a catch

A lot of this receiver discussion has me scratching my head. It's almost like the wrong word has been substituted in this sentence:

"In 2015 the Saints had a bottom 5 ranked passing _______________."

and everyone is putting the word offense into the blank instead of defense, which is the truth.

The Saints had the #1 ranked passing offense last year.
The Saints have the vast majority of their personnel from that #1 ranked passing offense returning.
The Saints have added a few more weapons to the #1 ranked passing offense from last year.

I know it's the offseason, at least for one more week, but exactly why again are we having this discussion?

I want to state for the record that I would have absolutely no problem going into the season with Cooks, Sneed, Thomas, Coleman, Fleener, Hill, and Hooman along with the running backs of Ingram, Hightower, Spiller, and whichever of Cadet or Murphy who survives the final roster cut. As long as the offensive line keeps Brees upright, I see no reason why such a group would not produce 5500+ passing yards and more than 40 TDs next year.

Super Bowl Championships: New Orleans Saints:1, Carolina:0, Atlanta Chokers: STILL ZERO

Only Atlanta choked in an unchokable situation... Life is definitely good.
