Zach Baun …

Don't think he played a snap last night.

ChrisXVI · 09-24-2020, 05:05 PM

A few thoughts regarding Tre’Quan Smith...

He looked great Monday and do you know why? He’s at his best as the X receiver, which just happens to be Michael Thomas’s role. Anywhere else and he’s a square peg in a round hole.

Also, we criticize Smith’s lack of involvement but consider a veteran like Emmanuel Sanders... he was traded mid-season last year and immediately contributed to his new team as their #1 WR. He signs with us this year and with the same lack of opportunity to get practice reps with Brees thanks to COVID, he’s still trying to learn the playbook.

ChrisXVI · 09-24-2020, 08:26 PM

So since Margus Hunt and Bennie Fowler can’t be called up from the practice squad for game day again without being signed to the active roster... who do we call up this week?

Don't see how they don't promote Margus Hunt to the active roster as well as he's played and as important as he was in spelling Jordan...

If Davenport is a full-go, they'll see how long he plays until he gets nicked and has to shut down again, wouldn't take that chance at this point...

Not sure we need OL Kelly on the Active Roster...

Yeah, reports out of camp were that he was going to be the starter until Kiko came back; guess Saints were fibbing on that one as well; he does have an injury history, and we know how transparent Payton is...

Felt he ran his routes very tentatively, think I even remarked he looked like an old man running routes, not because of speed, he just was not fluid at all...

Using two picks to acquire one player has been problematic at some positions; you'd think as prolific a passing team as the Saints have been, the ProScout side could identify best-fit WR FA candidates...
