What I wish we had/ could find again

spkb25 · 12-27-2016, 08:28 AM

With all of our success on offense this year, and I think this is the best group of receivers we have ever had, I can't help but wonder if we can get a Reggie (first few seasons with us) or Sproles type catching passes out of the backfield how absolutely unstoppable we will be.

Yes we need a guard and to monitor the situation with Terron. We also need to look to replace Zach. I wonder if Turner can make a leap in his second year. He may not be a great pass blocker, but I watched him on the run near goal line and he took his guy about 10 yards down the field. Be nice if he could improve his pass blocking.

We did. Spiller. Ended up cutting him. Another wasted FA signing.

How long did Spiller last when he signed with Seattle?

True. Several of us were puzzled and pissed off by the FO cutting him. Then he went to Seattle. Was cut shortly after. His last stop was with the Jets. Cut again. He's carried 6 times this year. Something is wrong with him. So the Saints made the right move.

dude, he's not on the team anymore so let's move forward. I was just looking for a nice conversation on finding someone. Spiller hasn't signed with anyone, maybe he just isn't healthy?

This is true, he isn't healthy, clearly

I would like a sledge hammer. Ingram has done nicely and a big bruiser to spell him out(Blount type) we could have a great ground game to go side by side with an air attack. A little more upgrade on the front line and we could be set.

It got so predictable though. That last season we had Sproles every defense had it figured out and it wasn't effective anymore.

He had 71 catches for 600 yards. Either way, I don't think there was anything predictable about it, but even if you think that, with the receivers we have now it would just be another target to have to try and cover.

Why do we need to replace Zach? He was one of the best lineman in football this year and he isn't costing us that much.
