Re: Saints vs Jets Game Day Thread
We need better wide receivers and tight ends.
Coleman, Snead, Ginn and Josh Hill cannot get open consistently like Michael Thomas can. We need to draft or sign better receivers. Coleman needs to hang onto that ball better, he almost blew the game single handedly. Offense has to stop going 3 and out so often, Brees has to stop throwing ints to D lineman deep in our own territory. With all that said, I'm proud of this team for pulling out 10 wins so far. Who dat! |

For the past three years, we've all talked about defense and running the ball and now we want to go back to Air Coryell that's been nothing but 0.500 football?!? |

We were 45.8% last season. For example, we needed the pass game to work this game because before Ingrams long run, he was at 12 carries for 24 yards.... Ginn, Coleman, Snead and Josh Hill barely make a team elsewhere, Payton has them starting. And while they do an "okay" job, they rarely come up in crunch time. |

Marques Colston's of the world are extremely rare.![]()
I hope we target Jarvis Landry types in the slot and TE's this off season & or look for another speedy WR early (2-4th rounds) in the draft. We're also missing a game breaker (Tyreek Hill type) on kick off returns who can change field position on any given play. |

That falls completely on Paytons shoulders, he's traded Drews targets away often for more help elsewhere which is fine, but; He replaced Cooks with TLL and Ginn - Nowhere near the same talent level Traded Jimmy, let Ben Watson walk and left us with Josh Hill ![]() Traded Kenny stills and whilst he wasn't a pro bowler, he and Drew made great 3rd down connections. If Payton put these guys in, they should be up to a certain standard, not just "oh we don't have any better because I got rid of them all." |
