Receiving Core

neugey · 01-11-2021, 10:54 PM

Harris is turning into a weapon. We have really coached up his route running. He looked like our Hollywood Brown yesterday.

I got a rush watching Lil Jordan on his catch. That was his calling card with the Longhorns - get him in space in the slot or flat on a short route and pick up lots of YAC.

Give Brees a little time and clean pocket he can make anyone with NFL level talent look like a pro bowler. And we have talent in the receiver group ... deep talent.

Harris is really developing in to force to deal with just worried about his durability. He not only plays really fast but hard play hard and does not avoid taking on the guy in his way when he has too.

Surprised we didn’t see Calloway more this past week ... Think he’s going to be really really good.

Harris is a weapon but playing more snaps increases chance of sustaining an injury. Normally I'm fine with that but we're back in the playoffs and I'd rather have him healthy for the return game. Our receiving core is healthy for the first time. Thomas, Sanders, Callaway and even Lil Jordan are solid. Cook seems to be showing up lately and Trautman is going to be stud. Overall that's respectable targets for Drew.

Everything I want to say about Harris has been said many times about Sproles while he was here.

I was about to bring this up. I'd like to see him in the backfield with Murray or Kamara before the snap a few times during the game. Maybe go in motion pre-snap, maybe stay in the back field.

Getting Michael Thomas back was great and he looks like he's running with that known intensity, my main reason for this thread though - Deonte Harris.

What a weapon he's turning out to be, not only running the speed out, his route tree is developing and he is electric after the catch.

I enjoyed seeing Drew not zoning in on one receiver, that's what killed us in the past years when teams took Thomas and Kamara away.

One question though, why is Lil-Jordan Humphrey getting more passing snaps than Callaway?
Marquez proved when guys were injured that he was reliable and a very good player, yet he barely saw the field from what I recall yesterday?

I'm a Callaway fan as well. I think he has some sort of injury keeping him off the field Sunday.

Give Bruce (fits-ll) Arians and Todd Bowles try to figure another weapon out.

Smith (ankle) could be ready to return for the NFC divisional round, per teammate Deonte Harris, Katherine Terrell of The Athletic reports.

Smith has been on IR since Week 15. The receiver will need to be removed from IR in order to suit up, but it wouldn't be surprising to see Smith rejoin his teammates in practice this week in light of Harris' comments after the team's win over the Bears in the wild-card round. More light on Smith's status should be shed once the Saints begin their upcoming week of practice.

Honestly, the offense is better without Smith. He's a good run blocker but he attempts to catch everything with his stomach and it stalls drives when he drops the easy passes.
