Is There Any Chance For Snead?

saintfan · 01-11-2018, 02:19 AM

Any chance he can (finally) prove his critics wrong? Could people be sleeping on Snead?

...or are we just

Doubt it. It would have materialized already. A token catch a game unless someone goes down. Playoff time don't start tinkering around too much with what got you there. Besides Kamara is just as capable if not more as a WR and confuses the hell out of defenses. I love watching him line up in the backfield then move to the receiver spot. Thing of beauty.

It's like he fell off the earth.

This would be a good time for Snead to show up. My guess is the Vikings will use 5 DB's most of the game, use Newman to try and limit Kamara, leaves other best two CB's to cover Thomas, and Ginn. That should mean when Coleman and Snead come in as a 3rd WR, they should draw a safety most of the time, or maybe a dime CB. Could be an opportunity for Ingram to gain some good yards, but this Vikings defense is very tough, we shall see...

Slim and none SF. Snead's sleeping on Snead.

If Coleman would just wrap up the ball and go down after the hit, he could be like the hybrid tight end we’re missing, which would open up anyone, including Snead.

It seems like the team is committed to making Coleman the Colston 2.0, but the guy scares me every time he runs without securing that ball. I would LOVE to see the Snead IV of old, but it doesn't seem there's much focus on moving the chains with small bites anymore. Big chunks of yardage apparently is the new sexy girl in school.

Something is wrong but for reasons unknown. The lack of production from Snead has hurt this team ... specifically on 3rd down.

He's simply not the same player from last season. We'll need his best effort on Sunday.

Brees was talking about him the other day. Says he knows Snead’s stats aren’t there but he is very important to the offense. Pretty blanketed answer. I think he’s injured. Rarely do people fall off like that or see snap reduction if players are healthy. What he can do is too important to the team for him to be in the dog house.

Contract negotiations should be interesting.
