Re: Saints Release Brandon Coleman

He was in doubt to make the squad with all the additions at the position. The only reason would be playbook familiarity, but barring a significant I jury wouldn't expect him back. Who knows though

Re: Saints Release Brandon Coleman

The talent level at WR is so far ahead now that the only way I see him returning is next season if we can't afford the others after a Lombardi...

Then again, Payton's statement also serves as a kind of reference, endorsement to his work ethic, character for other teams that may be shopping...

Re: Saints Release Brandon Coleman

He's a good blocker. I could see him back late in the season if we get dinged up.

Sean Payton agrees with you (starts around 1:37).

Re: Saints Release Brandon Coleman

Sorry to hear he's injured. Like everyone else, I didn't think he'd make the team anyway. I see it shaping up like this:

1. Can'tGuardMike
2. T. Ginn junia
3. Tre Quan Rookie Sensation
4. The other Cam
5. The Flea
6. Maybe if someone's a great returner

I'm not so sure that the flea makes the roster. Some of these younger players have potential.

Re: Saints Release Brandon Coleman

WR-X (3) 13 - Michael Thomas, 81 - Cameron Meredith (RFA 2018), 87 - Brandon Tate (FA 2018),
11 - Tommylee Lewis, 18 - Keith Kirkwood (UDFA)

WR-Y (3) 19 - Ted Ginn, 10 - Tra'Quan Smith (R3, #91), 17 - Michael Floyd/80 - Austin Carr

KMajor and I discussed that the Tommylee Training Camp Spectacular is always a great show, but inability to return, rarely game-day active, why commit a roster spot?

Kirkwood was my sleeper, then we signed two veterans who could be the final WR roster spots; Kirkwood's got great hands and range, should make Practice Squad...

Payton remarked Floyd was heavy, but the talent is there; but Coach learned his lesson after spending a 1st round on Meachem who showed up - out-of-shape...

Carr looked like the next in a line of reliable slot WRs -Lance Moore, Willie Snead IV; but with the talent acquired, not sure Moore nor Snead makes this roster...

Josh Huff has talent, and looked like the best returning punts till Tate showed, but he's facing a pending two game suspension - we don't have time for that BS...

Re: Saints Release Brandon Coleman

We have enough WR's to get 6 great ones. Like Scott said with Thomas, Meredith, TQ, Watson and Kamara how many catches ya goin get anyway.

At worst, Kirkwood is starting to look like a practice squad "lock". Coach Curtis will polish him up quickly.

Hello Andy Tanner?

AT could actually catch the ball, would catch the ball,
did catch the ball. He caught everything. Just no room for him.
I loved Coleman's size, and his size. Did I mention his size?
