Re: Well Snead has to worry about his role
Thanks for the Sneed video. Better than watching Sneed was watching Brees. It's like watching a great artist paint. The receivers are his brushes. The field is his canvas.
Hand him almost any brush and he'll produce a masterpiece. |

Re: Well Snead has to worry about his role
Thomas is going to be on the outside

Re: Well Snead has to worry about his role
At the most I think rotating in & out with Snead between the slot and outside

He'll move around much like all of the receivers do in the Saints' offense. Again, that means less playing time for Coleman, if he even makes the team, and who gets more playing time between Boldin and Thomas will be determined by how they perform in training camp. Who knows, maybe Coleman improves dramatically and blows everyone away. The bottom line is that adding Boldin won't do anything but help, unlike a lot of other aging free agents who would just take up space. |
If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.

Re: Well Snead has to worry about his role
So let's say Boldin DOES take snaps away from Snead. This is a team sport, and Boldin will only make the team better. We can't worry about how it's going to affect everyone else.
EDIT: Let'not use the initials "AB" to refer to Boldin LOL Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk |

Snead s safe. He catches everything thrown toward him and is cheap.

Re: Well Snead has to worry about his role
Snead doesn't have a damn thing to worry about. He's had chemistry with Brees from day one. It's Brandon Coleman who needs to worry.

If he's open he'll get the ball.
