Snead's Impact This Week?
 

"Coach Sean Payton said on Friday that Snead will indeed fly with the team to London, acknowledging the uniqueness of the situation. The Saints are choosing to spend the entire practice week in London to focus on rest and recovery in advance of next Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins at Wembley Stadium.

The Saints have missed Snead's presence as the team has struggled mightily on third downs, converting just 8 of 23 during an 0-2 start this season. Snead's ability to find holes in zone coverage is a great asset on third downs.

Without Snead, the offense has had to rely more on Brandon Coleman and Tommylee Lewis than initially expected this season."


Thinking he is part of the game plan, not some gradual return. I fully expect to see him in full force this week.

Re: Snead's Impact This Week?
 

It will be interesting to see. Not sure how many plays he will be involved in, but can't wait to see him find/sit in that open space on a short-mid distance 3rd down.

Re: Snead's Impact This Week?
 

I see no reason for him to have any limitation on number of plays. It isn't like he is returning from injury. He should have the freshest legs on the roster and the least battered body.

I really think his impact over the remainder of the season will be significant.

Re: Snead's Impact This Week?
 

He should be a good addition for us an another thing to worry about for the Dolphins. I wonder who will get cut to make room for him thou?

I like the fact that we flew straight to London from the game, minimizes the travel and gives the players the most time possible to acclimate to the time change. We should be ready.

Re: Snead's Impact This Week?
 

I agree.

Re: Snead's Impact This Week?
 

I feel the need, the need for Snead. Love that guy

I would say Kuhn.

Re: Snead's Impact This Week?
 

[quote=WhoDat!656;766489]They cut him prior to this last game.

Re: Snead's Impact This Week?
 

I may roll the dice starting him over Crowder. Only thing that bothers me is he has not practiced with the team in weeks, banned from the facility I believe. On the other hand, no current footage so a real wrench for Miami. He could be a nice spark and no real distractions from the media being in London.

Re: Snead's Impact This Week?
 

I think him being back will add just a little more confidence to the offensive unit, on top of the outstanding performance in Carolina. And one more thing for the Miami defense to worry about.

Re: Snead's Impact This Week?
 

Snead will have a good game. Bet Thomas and Fleener have better games.

Re: Snead's Impact This Week?
 

He will give MT some room to work. MT, really has been honed on heavy which to me shows he is the real deal. Nobody really shut him down. He still made plays. Give the man some room and lights out.

Re: Snead's Impact This Week?
 

I don't think he will be targeted as much with the work he missed . Brees is finally getting Ruth em witch the other guys who he didn't play with much in preseason. One reason for our offenses lows the first 2 games. He will be out there to draw defenders but don't know if he can gain the confidence of Brees:

Re: Snead's Impact This Week?
 

Snead has already gained the total confidence of Brees over the past two seasons. And don't forget, Snead is one of the players that works out during the off-season with Brees in San Diego.

Re: Snead's Impact This Week?
 

Getting two first downs could be the difference in the game. The Saints need all the difference makers they can get. Snead is that.

Re: Snead's Impact This Week?
 

Drew gets a second WR that he feels very comfortable with and knows is huge.

The new guys are doing well but Snead gives Drew the warm fuzzies

Re: Snead's Impact This Week?
 

So glad to have a this guy back. Hate what he did,but very happy to have him. I hope this is the beginning of a very long win streak.

Re: Snead's Impact This Week?
 

Welcome back dumbass...........we missed you.

Re: Snead's Impact This Week?
 

He has to be a full go as far as our plans offensively this weekend.

I do expect our 3rd down conversion rate to return to #1 in the NFL once again with Snead back.

Re: Snead's Impact This Week?
 

The importance of his inclusion cannot be understated. You thought we looked good last week, wait until we run out onto Wembley Stadium.

Re: Snead's Impact This Week?
 

Re: Snead's Impact This Week?
 

He's caught 70 passes a year for two seasons and has something to prove.
Look out.
5 wide first play

Re: Snead's Impact This Week?
 

Willies back!!!!

Re: Snead's Impact This Week?
 

Make that three people...
