Said it in another post, whatever got in Payton's craw, we shouldn't have let Willie Snead go till we knew we had his replacement... Made the same mistake with several, including, but not limited to Akiem Hicks, Darren Sproles, Rob Ninkovich, among others... And then there's the appearance of double standards re: injured players, some players seem to get a pass, some don't and are bitter about it... |

Just a week or two earlier, guess who destroyed the Saints secondary? Sanders. He even threw a TD in that game to kill us . C'mon Beast, this dude continues to be a game changer in meaningful games. He balls no matter the situation, scheme or team. |

Re: Pick Your Receivers From The Roster For Gameday
Well, the post read receivers, not specifically wide receivers, so with that in mind, and some others addressed it as well, I noticed in those posts there was no mention of Cook...
If Dan Campbell can get some work in with the rookie Adam Trautman, I wouldn't be surprised to see rookie used in the slot opposite Cookie, leaving @CantGuardMike to draw their best CB and a safety... See a lot of seam routes and double post-ups coming this season; a guard isn't stopping a power forward in the paint... And with our new offensive line, we likely won't need to keep a TE in to help block - so it's damn the torpedoes, expose those safeties and small CBs... |
It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Re: Pick Your Receivers From The Roster For Gameday
I did not include the tight ends or running backs in the list. I mentioned that in the fine print. As for Sanders I wrote the wrong last name and have since fixed it. Thanks.

Re: Pick Your Receivers From The Roster For Gameday
I don't know what to expect from Emmanuel Butler though.
He was a 2019 training camp beast. The likes of Bobby Hebert and Swilling were talking about him in high regard then an injury set him back ... faded. Hopefully year #2 he shines. |

Re: Pick Your Receivers From The Roster For Gameday
Thomas and Sanders are the only "locks" as far as I'm concerned.
Trequan Smith is shaky at best. Hadn't played well and this is year 3 in the Saints offensive system. IMO Tommy Lee and Austin "one reception" Carr are wasted roster spots. Hell I would at least invite Dez Bryant to camp. He's a vet, experienced and proven. |
