Thoughts on our WR corp
 

With the loss of Brandin Cooks, I, personally, was hoping to get a WR around the 3rd round or so to fill that void. Someone who produced at the college level and could come in and contribute immediately. After Michael Thomas and WIllie Snead, our receivers are very lackluster. Brandon Coleman is still inconsistent and never maximizes his size and height advantage. Ted Ginn is known for dropping passes and inconsistency. Now, we all know Drew makes receivers better, but Coleman is still Coleman and that isn't going to change. At TE, Fleener was inconsistent also, and our other TEs are backups. Hopefully the running game being improved, with a stronger offensive line, can open up more for less talented receivers like Coleman and Ginn, but, overall, I feel our WR corp has regressed, as a whole, this offseason. What are your thoughts?

Re: Thoughts on our WR corp
 

It is what it is and Drew will have to make the most of what he has once again.

Re: Thoughts on our WR corp
 

While I agree that the WR group isn't as talented with the loss of Cooks, I also believe the offense will be just as good. I expect to see a lot more play action type throws than we've seen in the last couple seasons. I think that's the heart of it all.

That said, Michael Thomas and Willie Snead provide a very good 1-2 punch. Coleman and some other receivers that have been buried on the depth chart will get a chance to show what they've got.

Sean Payton likes his toys. Everyone knows that. He's an offensive minded coach and enjoys deploying his high powered offensive aerial attack. There's no way he traded Cooks without having a plan in place or an idea of who is going to step up next.

He's done it for years. The offense will still be firing on all cylinders.

Re: Thoughts on our WR corp
 

We have two strong WR's. A lot of teams don't even have one. Thomas was also a rookie. Somebody else will emerge in PS. Maybe Travin Dural or one of the others we stashed. Ginn is likely not going to help that much but you never know.

Re: Thoughts on our WR corp
 

You left out 3 tight ends, 2 rbs and a fullback. Those positions catch more in Payton's offense than most.

Re: Thoughts on our WR corp
 

Ginn and Kamara will fill that void nicely

Re: Thoughts on our WR corp
 

Another thing to think about - I think our offensive line is going to be one of the best in the league this year. We've got two new stud players with Warford and Ramczyk, and we'll also get back a healthy Armstead. What that means is that Brees will have more time in the pocket and not have to rush his throws as much as he's had to in the past two years. This will help our receivers tremendously.

Curtis Johnson is back.... im not worried....

Re: Thoughts on our WR corp
 

He has not always had a plan in place. Ginn and Coleman are going to be under microscopes in third down and clutch situations. and do we really know what Payton's gameplan is? People assume this is gonna happen but Payton has not ever gone through with what people assumed.

Re: Thoughts on our WR corp
 

I think now with a more balanced offense you will see our we crew excel. With AP, MIA running and the rookie catching passes out of the backfield they will have to respect the run. Been awhile since drew had a running game that could take over if needed. You will see drew throw a lot less this year in my opinion. Tds will go up, yardage will still be around 5000.even flee we will shine with a running game. AP may actually make us a 50/50 team. Can't wait to see our running backs catching screens and swing passes.

Re: Thoughts on our WR corp
 

I'm curious to see how Coach Johnson can coach-up Coleman into a better WR. He's made some great grabs but the inconsistency makes this year a make or break one for him. Whoever has hands we can hope proves themselves in camp.

16 Coleman, Brandon WR 6-6 225 24 2 Rutgers
11 Fuller, Corey WR 6-2 200 26 3 Virginia Tech
Ginn, Ted WR 5-11 180 32 11 Ohio State
19 Lampman, Jake WR 6-0 205 23 R Ferris State
Lawrence, Rashad WR 6-2 203 24 2 Northwestern
87 Lewis, Tommylee WR 5-7 168 24 R Northern Illinois
83 Snead IV, Willie WR 5-11 195 24 2 Ball State
13 Thomas, Michael WR 6-3 212 24 R Ohio State
81 Williams-Lambert, Jordan WR 6-3 228 22 R Ball State

Re: Thoughts on our WR corp
 

I'll be surprised if Coleman makes it through training camp.

Re: Thoughts on our WR corp
 

I see it differently.

Brandon might be the best 4th WR in the league. I see shades of him putting his size to his advantage. Some would say he's turned a corner in New Orleans. I just don't think Coach Payton is looking to cut a young, cheap WR who has shown steady improvement. Now factor in Curtis Johnson as his coach.

Fuller could challenge him though :cool:.

Re: Thoughts on our WR corp
 

I think it would help to bring in a veteran possession receiver like Boldin. If not we have to hope another Lance Moore-type emerges or it could be a heavy load on Thomas and Snead this year. I just don't see Ginn as a full-time weapon.

Re: Thoughts on our WR corp
 

I'd prefer a player like Eric Decker (assuming he gets released). Good red zone option.

Re: Thoughts on our WR corp
 

Almost 37 and likely sitting out of any training camps. Not going to work. As Colston said, have to put in the reps, master the routes.

Re: Thoughts on our WR corp
 

its time for brandon coleman to shed the diapers and get after a no#2 receiver spot reserved for him, needs to show in training camp that he will make the transition this year or he will be hacked down the line. but like a someone posted earlier that hes a cheap no# 3 or 4 receiver and mick and payton puts up with his inconsistencies , i like coleman he has progressed in the last couple of seasons and i'm calling him out the season , lets get it going bro. your payday is waiting.

Re: Thoughts on our WR corp
 

He has some pretty intense competition this year...

Re: Thoughts on our WR corp
 

I hear this is the year Onomo Ojo is really going step up!

Re: Thoughts on our WR corp
 

Sammy Wadkins?

Bills decline to pick up WR Sammy Watkins' option - NFL.com

Re: Thoughts on our WR corp
 

It sounds like he's having problems with his foot. Wonder how bad it is?

Re: Thoughts on our WR corp
 

Last year I really thought Coleman wouldn't make it through training camp. His body language looked like he was just going through the motions and ready to get cut. He and Fleener were both lazy looking and didn't seem to match the intensity on the rest of the team.

Coleman did surprise me last year as the #4 receiver but like Josh Hill I think he has maxed out and there is better talent out there.

Re: Thoughts on our WR corp
 

Actually, we may very well have already acquired it!

Re: Thoughts on our WR corp
 

I think Hill lasts only as long as he is cheap. No real improvement shown year to year. Counting $2.6 against the cap might be his undoing if the Michael H can get healthy

Re: Thoughts on our WR corp
 

He is still under contract to the Bills through 2017. The fifth year option has to be declared in May prior to the fourth year. The Bills will still have the option of signing him to an extension if he stays healthy.

Re: Thoughts on our WR corp
 

I had to bring this thread back to life. NFL network featured the Saints passing attack last week and analysts mentioned how TG Jr could easily get off against bump/run and blocks downfield in 2016. Cooks was marginal at best in either department. I just find it hard to believe that some think Ted won't be able to help this ball club in this offense.

He's also dangerous on special teams (kick off/punt returns).

Are you "positive"?

Re: Thoughts on our WR corp
 

YES! We are all positive around here, dammit!!!

Re: Thoughts on our WR corp
 

If Newton can make him look decent Brees will get him a little further. Still would have loved to see Pryor but the price was too high.

Re: Thoughts on our WR corp
 

I'd like us to take a look at Dorial Green-Beckham who just got released by the Eagles. His size speed combination is intriguing and he haven't really played with any QBs worth mentioning with the Titans and Eagles.

Re: Thoughts on our WR corp
 

I've read DGB has bad practice habits, lacking in effort and runs poor routes. Two teams have already given up on this guy...makes you wonder if there are character concerns the general public doesn't know about.

Re: Thoughts on our WR corp
 

I've been looking at Coleman and it is just painful.
I've been pulling for him and hoping he cuts some teeth, but DAYUM!
Praying that he's a late bloomer against all I've seen so far.
He can't get separation and he STILL has trouble in traffic. His best days are in zones.
The game just has not slowed down yet for him. At this level you have to be good in the moments.
He's still around because no one else has stepped up to fill the void.
I'm hoping someone can focus enough to be excellent during the 5-6 targets per game
that are available for that spot.
Our 3 & 4 spots are wide open. I'm just hoping for the best.

Re: Thoughts on our WR corp
 

I've lost count how many times he's dropped passes after absorbing a little contact.

It happened in the NY game when he had a chance to make a big catch and get us in the redzone.

He had an awful training camp and preseason, yet Payton gives him an automatic spot, just like Cadet.

Re: Thoughts on our WR corp
 

The expectations from a UDFA have become a bit much. BC is young, cheap and has shown improvement every year. The guy is a solid #4 WR.
