Brandin Cooks Trade Talks

One of the announcers at the Combine had the Saints on the LF short list. Really? Not even sure how they came to that conclusion. I will say though Blount sure did give Brady a lot of relief this season. 18TD for Blount. Sure makes the job of an older QB a hell of a lot easier.

That's Ingram's job to do since he's the "Blount" of our team.

Ingram is no 240lb Blount. Ingram can do a lot of things good. Blount can't do all that but he does do one thing great; scored TD's almost every single game on the GL. Only 3 games he did not score.

Actually that's one of Ingram's srengths. Scoring at the goal line. They just don't always run it in or have used the likes of Hightower, Cadet, or Kuhn or some gadget run play by Fleener.

The saints just do not commit to Ingram like that.

Everyone has been talking about the Saints being more of a run team to prolong the life of Brees. We trade cooks for a rd 1 this year and mutiple next. Dreaft LF7 at 11 and defense with the other rd1 and 2.

But is Payton going to actually run the ball more?

If he wants to keep Brees he will. No way Brees can continue this pace more than 2 more years. Drew attempted 676 passes last year. Ryan was right at #2 with 534. That's a big difference

Why? look at Brees' sack and times hit last year. Way down. Plus he took every snap. Our really "bad" o-line was 5th in sacks against in '16 and 8th in '15

Because he is 38 and threw 100 more balls than any other qb last year.
