Saints to Sign WR Brandon Marshall This Week

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; SP just took out another WR Insurance Policy, injuries can pile up fast at that position. As far as Marshall he's been on some dismal teams the last few years. As for the Seahawks, Pistol Pete cleaned house everybody left ...

SP just took out another WR Insurance Policy, injuries can pile up fast at that position.
As far as Marshall he's been on some dismal teams the last few years.
As for the Seahawks, Pistol Pete cleaned house everybody left for good or bad teams.

According to Underhill, Smith's snap count was 68% of the offensive snaps yesterday. He actually played more than Thomas. He was not targeted during the game.

Fortunately he's a smart rookie. He plays. He does his job. He blocks. And he doesn't complain about it. I believe he understands that if Thomas or Kamara or Ingram or Watson are open, Brees will get them the ball because they are higher up the progression tree than he is. Brees only has 9 sacks this season, and none in the last 3 games, because he throws the ball to the first open guy in the progression.

That's why I think Marshall's contribution will be about as insignificant as the other WR. Thomas lives up to his Twitter handle: CantGuardMike.

Marshall may not have a ton left, however #9 and SP will get the absolute most out of him. The level of play always increases in NO with our QB & HC regardless of playing time, age or ability.

Depth, a proven vet and large big body frame for red zone targets. This could open up for slot guys & TE down the road.

Agree.

Drews has a long history of making the average receiver good and the good great. With @cantguardmike we now see what he can do with better than good.

All Drew needs is a receiver who can understand the offense and get on the same page as he is, which is no small task. So, assuming Marshall has something between the ears besides air, he'll make a contribution.
