From what I've read around here in regards to cap money for next season, beefing up the OLine would do wonders for this guy and Brees's longevity since we'll have the 💰. The O wouldn't or shouldn't come out flat with B.M.W., DB9 & CM rockin #25!😍

I am against it because it just shows we're a system offense and it would make Payton look better than he is.

What would relly make Sean P. look better is if he got real Defensive-minded coaches!

Against teams with a good pass rush, has Reggie and Sproles ever done well in those games?

Also, we don't need another one of those more than we need a PT clone.

But defenses getting in Brees face is not going to be bailed out by a satellite running back. You need a powerback/ground attack for those situations.

I think we have a great 3 guys and Michael Thomas is way better than I expected but if we are in a base set Thomas and Cooks are not the best duo in the league. I'd take Cooper and Crabtree over em. We do have great skill players top to bottom. Even Hill and Kuhn do their part. Is it just me or has the O failed us down the stretch this year while the D gave us chances?

The Raiders have a good group. They are also ahead more of the time in their games, with a lead, so they need to throw less. I would love to see a stat on amount of time for the whole year during games, where the Saints have been behind on the scoreboard, vs amount of time they've had the lead. I bet it is tilted significantly more towards playing catch-up or trailing from behind, compared to a team like the Raiders or Patriots (who also spread the load around among multiple receivers like we do -- probably doing a better job of that right now than even the Saints).

We have a decent group, but the best they are not... maybe not yet. Coleman is coming around, finally. And yes, we do need a TE or two. HooseYoMaMa once he comes back from injury could fill one of those roles. Brees is who makes this work, obviously. He is also the one propping up the rating of our OL; and we all know we need more help there as well.

That nickname has already been used for another forgotten but once remembered WR.

Hate to say it but the group up here, Baldwin, Kearse Lockett and Graham isn't to shabby......They also have plenty of speed that you never get to see. I'd still go to battle with our guys any day, but the squawks receiving core is pretty good,,,,,they are just used differently.

Funny thing was we had TE Cameron Brate and let Tampa Bay claim him from our Practice Squad...

At the time we had him for about a week, ahead of him was Ben Watson, Josh Hill and after his departure, we traded DL Akiem Hicks for TE Michael Hoomanawanui...

Timing is everything...
