Remember he played in the playoff game vs Vikings ? He took over for Brandon (neck injury). I don't believe he was targeted though.

Look, I wasn't impressed when we signed Ted Ginn, but the guy was getting it done...

There's only one thing with Ginn, he disappeared for far too many games.

I mean when he had a good game, he had a really good game and made huge impact plays, but he just vanished a lot of the time.

3rd downs were a struggle obviously. Snead just fell off the face of the earth, Brandon Coleman held the ball like a diva and payed the price multiple times.

We could do with one more impact receiver to take the pressure off Kamara and Thomas so often, that could be at wide receiver or TE.

We're a pick your poison kinda team and there were games where teams didn't man up on him and Brees made 'em pay...

Very few games were we actually shut down on offense; in fact, I thought sometimes Sean was outsmarting himself...

But as the stat shows, when Ginn was targeted, he rewarded the team and his QB...

So it looks like Jarvis Landry and Allen Robinson, for now, won't be on the Free Agent Market...

So do we look to Tight End to upgrade?

Yes. I'm still not ruling out Jimmy Dickens. 2 year deal at the right price, yes please. He'd be a HUGE 3rd down weapon and redzone target.

Sign a big, pass-catching tight end that can spread out opposite @CantGuardMike and let the other guys rebound this season (well, Ginn was fine as a flanker)...

They're some weapons that can be had with those fourth, fifth round picks as well, but I'd prefer to develop offensive, defensive line depth...
