Shakiest WR Corps Brees Era

Ted Ginn is the answer. Nobody wants to believe it but our offense was so much better when we had him in the lineup. Even it’s just taking more coverage away from other WR.

They have to honor the speed.

I'll say this ... Keith Kirkwood has been consistently catching 2 or 3 passes per game since he was promoted from the practice squad. That's not great, however he's been consistent.

Tre Smith must improve. 3 bad games in a row. Unacceptable. I just don't trust rookies & UDFA's in the playoffs. Gotta get this sorted out. Playing at home should help.

Missing TG Jr badly.

The offensive line just hasn’t been giving Drew the protection and time he needs for these guys to get open. Even Thomas is struggling. Armsteads presence is missed big time and the other guys are kind of banged up too. They will be good come playoffs. Winn next week and we can rest starters against Carolina

And I don't trust Tommy Lee Lewis.

Seconded. He reeks of Lance Moore.

I just find it hard to believe Marshall and Tate are not better.
Agree that we (and Brees) rely too much on these young guys to make plays

Simmie Cobbs ... come on down. Let's see what you got.

Lack of depth & experience (see furious Brees telling Smith he needed to cut inside for the ball) is killing us at WR.

Gotta pick up momentum offensively heading into the playoffs. Having a healthy Unger & Armstead will be key though.

Seems like putting AK and Ingram on the field at the same time would help take away some attention.
Thomas is getting doubled too often, and everyone can see why.
