Tate was the best returner all of training camp.
I don't think they really wanted to have six roster spots taken up by WR's. Ginn has become somewhat of a liability (punts and drops receiving), but it's hard to imagine him being released.

Re: Saints Re-Signing WR Brandon Tate

I agree with Guido T. Ginn is going to have a diminished role I spoke of getting Tate (Free Kamara from this duty) coming back and also Scott (Insurance even after we get our starter back) get rid of the other backs. They have not fully addressed the CB issue just some band aids. Ginn has still got breakaway speed and is a threat we need to use him to expose weaknesses in deep coverage's and to clear out intermediate routes for our other receivers. Want to see Sterling back or a trade get done. I want to see Allen gone we need someone with a real passion for defense and they have people out there that would fit the bill. Don't be surprised if this happens. I want to see if Payton really wants to make some tough decisions to get this team a superbowl. If he does not have the balls to do it we won't get there.

I would be surprised to see it happen during the season. The whole season would have to be a train wreck to let a coordinator go mid-season. It did happen with Rob Ryan, but that season was that train wreck and Dennis Allen was already in-house to step in. I suppose someone like Nolan could do the same, but I just don't see it happening.

Sean Payton ain't firing Dennis Allen.

This team still has a lot of talent defensively but there is absolutely no way we should be this awful (specifically the secondary) on D. Saw a replay of the Falcons / Saints ... we are in zone coverage, meanwhile PJ is back pedaling flat footed . Receivers running high school wide open.

I have no idea what the defensive coordinator is doing.

I understand that players regress, have bad years, classic sophomore slump etc... but I don't believe all the cornerbacks and safeties on a team regress all at the same time. It has to be the scheme.

It's always been the scheme. That's how GW turned Scott Shanle, Roman Harper and Alex Brown into a top 10 D - schemed to play to their collective strengths.

Payton and Allen are responsible when players look bad, and the D gets worse and worse no matter how many pro bowlers we bring in. That shows everyone it isn't the players.

Payton can't even play a newly signed LB in his original position.

Wouldn’t that make them responsible for them looking great last year?

Re: Saints Re-Signing WR Brandon Tate

CB, DL... When are you people going to realize that Hill is the best LB on the team?

OMG! I knew I recognized that coaching pattern from somewhere. That was it.

Re: Saints Re-Signing WR Brandon Tate

Back to the OP...

I'm also worried that Carr won't survive on PS. With Meredith finally ready to play, do we risk Smith on PS?

As for 'risking' Hill back there, pretty much everything we have asked him to do falls under the risk category. Sure-handed, big, and smart. He'd be my choice.
Just please not Kamara or Ginn
