Re: Emmanuel Sanders
 

And imagine what Cook, Thomas, Smith and Kamara will do with SANDERS there!

Re: Emmanuel Sanders
 

Re: Emmanuel Sanders
 

We should have signed him last year. Hopefully he can still play at a high level.

Re: Emmanuel Sanders
 

Agree with imagining Cook, Thomas and Kamara with SANDERS. Smith? Can't see that he has stepped up with any level of consistency....yet.

Re: Emmanuel Sanders
 

I watched a video today about the the highest paid position groups in the NFL. Near 80% of the teams had offensive/defensive line as the group they have the most money dedicated. The majority of those were DL but not by far. Shows we have more money in the DL than anywhere else.
The good coaches still know the battles are won in the trenches.
The Rams highest paid position group is Geoff lol.
I really don’t know why I posted this.

Re: Emmanuel Sanders
 

He wasn't a free agent last year.

Re: Emmanuel Sanders
 

I think The Dude meant to make a trade for him as the Niners (in exchange for a 3rd/4th rd picks 2020) did last year pre trade deadline.

IIRC the Saints did reach out to the Sanders camp for a possible trade last season. Nonetheless, we got our man for 2020.

Re: Emmanuel Sanders
 

The rumor is that the Broncos were asking for more from the Saints than what they settled for with the 49ers.

Re: Emmanuel Sanders
 

The 9ers screwed there self if u ask me they diidmt get a full season out of e sanders didn’t win it all and tossed him to the street not that they wanted to but had to good luck on repeating the season they had.

Cost S.F. two valuable draft choices. They gambled and lost. Jimmy G had him on that post pattern and whiffed!

Re: Emmanuel Sanders
 

If Jimmy G makes the accurate throw, that's 6 and good chance they win the SB. Emmanuel Sanders was where he was supposed to be. Again, his route running is still superior to most.

Brees has another weapon at WR. Finally.

Re: Emmanuel Sanders
 

But I thought he is supposed to get buried on the depth chart?

:D

Re: Emmanuel Sanders
 

+1 :bng:

For the stat guys ... Emmanuel owns the 8th lowest drop rate among NFL receivers since 2014. He also graded extremely well on short, intermediate targets (less than 20 yards downfield) that were thrown within 2.5 seconds of the snaps ranked only behind Michael Thomas.

Sanders = weapon.

I know he's an older cat, but I haven't been this excited about a Saints free agent since we landed Nick Fairley.

Re: Emmanuel Sanders
 

Some of rugby's best players are over 30. There is an Old Boys league and you have to be 35 to play in. Those guys just seem to get better with age. Sanders reminds me of a good Old Boy. He's savvy and smooth. I can't wait to see him on the field.


Also, USA Rugby will not assign referee's to our matches so it's done for the year and has been for over a month. I'm sitting home locked down eating comfort foods, not going to the gym, or running on weekends, and drinking. It's killing my waist line.:phat:

Re: Emmanuel Sanders
 

In 2006 Payton traded back in the draft until he built a strong team after that he went all in on players he valued to complete the roster. Since then he's worked hard to find the missing pieces to the puzzle year after year and he's used draft picks to move up for a player he covets.

You have to admit that we've been stocking the shelves pretty well recently. 13-3 is a familiar number lately. The Saints have been strong in the trenches according to analysts(anal cysts) and that's where we've spent our capitol on high draft picks. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Personally, I love watching that big man hassle the opposing team all day. He had a good injury history when we traded up for him.

I value your opinion jp but I would use the same approach if I were coaching the Saints. Thank God I'm not!

Then again the Patriots have been really successful making trades back.....

Re: Emmanuel Sanders
 

You remember who I wanted with that pick?

Re: Emmanuel Sanders
 

He'll put up Jake Reed kind of numbers for us. 3-500 yds maybe. He's going to get hurt I know that much due to history and age. I honestly would not be surprised if he's way down on the depth chart. He's still a good pickup though. We don't need superstars, just someone to get open and grab some tough ones now and then.

Re: Emmanuel Sanders
 

I don't know Beastmode. After looking at Sanders film I'm super impressed with how smooth and efficient he is. He may be older but if he's stayed healthy before he'll probably be more than fine for a few years. I think he's dynamic and expect much higher numbers. He excels across the middle and intermediate routes which is what drew throws best now.

I believe that you will be pleasantly surprised with his production. :p

Re: Emmanuel Sanders
 

Re: Emmanuel Sanders
 

Looks to be a bargain...

Re: Emmanuel Sanders
 

Re: Emmanuel Sanders
 

Totally agree. I thought it was a decent signing for a safety net but I expected us to bring someone else in a little younger. This is going to be Cam Merideth 2.0.

Re: Emmanuel Sanders
 

Sounds like the same thoughts that you had on Latavius Murray. You were so sure he'd get injured and not finish the season that you paid me $20 for being wrong. You also said he'd be buried on the depth chart. You do not have a very good record of free agent evaluation.

Re: Emmanuel Sanders
 

Meredith was coming off an injury. Sanders is coming off a season in which he started 19 of twenty games and played in all twenty. He is one of FIVE WR's in the NFL to have been targeted 500+ times and had fewer than 20 drops over the past five seasons. That puts him in the same company as Michael Thomas and Antonio Brown. He is anything but a Cam Meredith 2.0.

Re: Emmanuel Sanders
 

Are they watching the games bruh? Ain’t no way.

Re: Emmanuel Sanders
 

I have way more confidence in Sanders than I did Merideth. Anyone who watched football last season vs the season before we signed Merideth should feel the same.

Re: Emmanuel Sanders
 

Interview (10 min) from earlier this morning with Sanders on FIRST TAKE ... I didn't realize Emmanuel had been to the Super Bowl 3 times. Desire and hunger is still there and wants another ring.

Re: Emmanuel Sanders
 

I don't understand the hate on Sanders. Sanders is a #1 WR for most teams and we got him cheap. I really like the offensive additions this off season (aside from Peats contract).

Still concerned about the D-line... lot of depth, not a lot of game-changers.

Re: Emmanuel Sanders
 

Everson Griffen or Clowney perhaps?

For me, I see good talent on defense and enough to get us where we want to be however I'm more concerned about Dennis Allen and the need to be better at situational play-calling.

Too many late moment blunders on the back end that has cost us from advancing. IDK, maybe having Jenkins helps orchestrate, facilitate things for us in 2020. Essentially having a QB on defense who understands coverages.

Re: Emmanuel Sanders
 

Clowney is a no no maybe Griffen. Clowney seems like a guy who will fall off the map after this big pay day.

Re: Emmanuel Sanders
 

was about to ask the same thing.

Re: Emmanuel Sanders
 

Wouldn’t be shocked if Granderson makes a move on Davenport

Re: Emmanuel Sanders
 

If that happens, then the Saints failed on the scouting of Davenport.

Re: Emmanuel Sanders
 

It's not hate. He's just old. 33.5 when the season starts. He does have good hands but he does get hurt but people only want to look at last season when he got hurt the prior two seasons.



I bet if it was last season and we sign him people say no, he got hurt the prior two seasons....meh.
