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.

This is true, he isn't healthy, clearly

They made the wrong move by cutting sproles and signing spiller in the first place.

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?

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.

The best defenses in the league do not allow those screen plays. Sproles in 2013 was subpar, which was why he was traded. He was just a decoy really. It's also rediculous to think Brees(or Payton) needs screen passes to win.

The man caught 71 passes for 600 yards. Do you understand this, and it was only 15 catches less than his first season with us. He ran way more than screen plays, as a matter of fact our best rb at running a screen play was PT. Sproles ran a variety of routes. It would certainly not hurt to have that type of mismatch again and forces the defense to account for another offensive weapon
