It's time to promote Butler and/or Jordan Humphrey to the active roster

I could see it. They aren't precise route runners but without Brees the precision takes a back seat to nasty. Get those big boys out there and commit to run blocking and mugging DB's.

I'd disagree there, Beast; you will rarely find a receiver hit open in the NFL; it does happen, but only a couple of times per game - average...

NFL receivers are thrown open, often the ball is released prior to a receiver's break in the route tree...

We run a system where Brees throws to buckets based on pre-snap reads and coverage...

These young receivers have to learn to see their pre-snap read, with a poker face/no-tells, and run to where the QB is going to throw...

So they do need to run routes as precisely no matter who's the quarterback so they can earn that Passer's and the Coach Payton's Trust...

They just need the reps to speed up their process, conversely slowing the game down so they can just focus on completing the reception...
