Re: Saints Sign WR Michael Floyd
 

Don't forget we have a 90 man roster and just lost one WR (Dural) to injury. It only makes sense that we bring in another. You can't run drills without enough bodies at each position. Someone stated we have "five receivers" and they couldn't understand why we would need more. We actually have ten receivers, including Coleman still on PUP, before Floyd. That's about right for training camp.

Due diligence signings.

Re: Saints Sign WR Michael Floyd
 

I don't expect to see much of Michael Thomas/Ginn in pre season games. Coleman is out (PUP) & Travis Dural was part of the training camp "rotation" but unfortunately now out with a broken arm. If you look around the league, it's common to see vets signed when injuries occur.

But again, I don't think either of these guys will stick.

Re: Saints Sign WR Michael Floyd
 

Maybe Coleman’s injury is worse than we thought?

Training Camp.

Training Camp players...

If they dont work, no big deal.

If they work - the staff looks like geniuses!

Re: Saints Sign WR Michael Floyd
 

I think Brandon Tate actually has a better shot at making the roster than Michael Floyd thanks to the kick return experience.

Re: Saints Sign WR Michael Floyd
 

Listening at Sean's post practice presser from a couple of days ago ... doesn't sound too pleased with the progress of the kick return/punt dept. We shall see.

Definitely something to keep an eye on in upcoming pre season games ... starting next week.

Re: Saints Sign WR Michael Floyd
 

Or maybe there was an opening on the 90 man roster because Dural was placed on IR and it has NOTHING to do with Coleman. What happened to your new found positive attitude for this season?

;)

Re: Saints Sign WR Michael Floyd
 

That wasn't the take I got from Payton's interview on NFL Network with Andrew Siciliano and Ladainian Tomlinson. He said his "Bachelor" comparison had everyone still in the running for return jobs (everyone got a rose). Nobody had done anything to be eliminated. I just listened to his live interview a few minutes ago with Bruce Murray and Phil Savage on their visit to Saints training camp and he said the same thing.

It isn't that he's not pleased with the return game, it's that it's difficult to pick the right returner(s) with so many good choices.

I had no idea Coleman was hurt. School and five days a week at the gym kept me busy. I have a week and a half left before going right back to school.
