Sean Payton and Aaron Rodgers on new Saints WR Jake Kumerow

Kumerow isn't going to wow you coming off the line with suddenness as Sean refers, but he's got requisite straight-line NFL speed, and the size to lean over smaller DBs in a mismatch and move the sticks...

Jake transferred from Illinois to Wisconsin-Whitewater, DIV III football, so his development was stunted; his Bengals WR coach was James Urban, the only time Urban has been a WR coach, so not a lot of work there...

Jake's also been on IR twice (the traditional IR); so that's also stunted his growth; and it really wasn't until he went to GB that he got to play with a good QB; GB went low and Jake and agent overplayed market...

He ended up in BUF, and the Saints caught BUF trying to save money and that's how we got him...

Jake is wicked smart, grew up in a football family, so he grew up watching film on Sundays with his NFL Dad; Joey and Nick Bosa are his first cousins...

I've been real big on his since the 2015 draft; but don't be surprised if he has a renaissance here in NO as his skill-set is very comparable to Marques Colston...

Speaking of WR's …

I heard Nick U say that 3quan is still recovering (ankle) from surgery ?? Does that mean no post season for him?

Exactly, and then there's recovery of conditioning...

We've likely seen the last days of Tre'Quan in the black and gold...

I'm really excited having WRx Jake Kumerow and WRz Emmanuel Sanders on the outside and WRs Mike Thomas doing his usual, unstoppable damage in the slot...

And bringing in Deonte Harris as a change of pace...

I'd say Callaway instead of Kumerow, the guy is proving to be something special.

Callaway is getting forced-fed, which I actually like seeing rookies thrown in right away vs development...

Jake is a better outside option now, because of experience, so that's my reasoning...

Callaway, staying on his tract, should be a Saint for a number of years, so we're definitely in agreement there...

Bingo.

We torched regular season teams with Kamara and Mike T for years, only for them to get schemed against in the playoffs.

We need Sanders, Callaway, Trautman and Cook to be on their game, because Teams will scheme against Kamara and Thomas again.

Yep. There's a reason those teams are in the playoffs as well...
