Yet, not every receiver is of the same mold as Thomas and Jeffrey. They are open on those contested plays due to their aggressiveness. None of our other receivers have that same trait. Is that Brees' fault? Is trying to force the ball into a contested situation that a receiver is not at an advantage help? That would do nothing but result in more incompletions or interceptions. Finding the open receiver is still the best option.![]()
Simply targeting the other receivers when they are not as open as Thomas is counterproductive and totally illogical. Once again, the only solution is for the individual receivers to improve their ability to get open or their ability to win consistently on the contested play. None of them have shown they can do the second based upon their drops. |

Re: This may sound odd..
Have you noticed that MT hasn't been bracketed by double coverage as of late? ... why? Jared Cook has become a threat in the Saints offense last few weeks.
If a safety wants to take his eyes away from our TE ... substantial gain or 6. |

We'd have to go into the numbers and look at the targets, but it's not like Drew hasn't fallen into that trap before... But it doesn't account for the disparity of drops between @CantGuardMike and other kid, Ted Ginn, among others... |

Our ****ty receivers hurt them selves by not getting separation and catching balls that hit them in the hands. One last note... When you have an idea like this, maybe we could just bench MT instead of getting him hurt? Seems less risky. ![]() |
