A red-shirt year with Coach Curtis & the Whoopin Stick, an active year next year and Kirkwood, by his third year, could slide into Cam Meredith's slot...

And with his size, great hands and catch radius, there will be no need to bring back BC; you'll have Thomas (X), Tre'Quan (Y), and Kirkwood (Z)...

Sean Payton leaves door open for Brandon Coleman return to Saints when healthy

I don’t want to see Brandon Coleman back in the Black and Gold ever again. I think Michael Floyd shocks everybody and makes the team.

Flanker - Michael Thomas/Michael Floyd
Split End - Ted Ginn/Trequan Smith
Slot - Cameron Meredith

I think we keep 5 WR’s with some of the others on speed dial in case of injury.

Slim chance but never know. Cam is a repaired transmission, Ginn getting up in age and MT is drawing fierce coverage so more contact.

Not the best hands but the blocking, he was making us money in the run dept. Hard to find WR's that take pride in blocking.

We're keeping six, after even I said we're keeping five, because in that group Ginn is the only return guy and we definitely need a return man (i.e. Tate?)...

Agree with the five of the six, Payton seemed annoyed with Floyd being heavy, though Payton can see the obvious talent still there...

But we need that 6'0" kick returner in the group and for occasional mismatches; if we keep five, then Floyd's not making the team...

Yep.

If BC ever gets back to 100%, he's a prime candidate for the season - long revolving door rotation that is the 53rd man on the roster. Too bad a guy that big, played like he was 5'11.

I'd still stack him behind a few that we'll likely be released, traded late in PreSeason...

WillSaints81 · 08-08-2018, 07:03 PM

He's probably back when healthy because of his blocking. I'm just not sure how it's going to work with five receivers, three of whom will be splitting snaps.

0-16 here we come.
