Not nearly as often as he would with intermediate/short passes. He's always been a situational, butter fingered field stretcher. Unfortunate for the Saints, hands of stone won't get any better at this point of his career. It's been hit or miss with him over the years. Because of his Ginn's speed, he should have a role in Sean Payton's offense but those "drops" can become drive killers in real game situations.

Hopefully Fuller, Tommy L and Brandon step up so that we won't have to rely on TG Jr as much.

So he'll basically just take the top off the defense and get thrown the ball when he's open? So he'll do what Cooks was supposed to do without *****ing that he didn't get the ball in a huge win.
