Me too

Cooks, Colston, and Morgan are one of the best trios of WRs in the league. Add Graham into that and a Hall of Fame QB, and baby you got a stew going

I think/hope that he makes it.

I keep reading all of these nice things about Toon from camp but he has been underwhelming in game action.

Toon just hasn't made any plays.

Joe Morgan is the kind of role guy who can deliver when his number is called. I think he proved that in 2012 and he made the nice catch on the bomb tonight as well.

I really just think the Saints would be absolutely crazy not to take Morgan...granted his injury history isn't ideal, but he is a breakout receiver in the league

I love preseason. Morgan was basically absent last week and no one was saying we can't cut him. He has a good game this week and he goes from bubble player to impossible to cut.

I imagine we had a shift on Coleman too being that he caught his two targets this week.

Morgan always had a good shot at making the 53 being that we may keep 6 WRs unless we have to lose a spot for a defensive player.

I don't see 5 HBs, 2 FBs, or 4 TEs making the roster(though Johnson again is making a pretty good case; but that could put Lorig on IR if he doesn't get back soon).

Aside from Austin's outside chance, the only other possibility I see is keeping a 9th Olineman. I want to say we've only kept 8 every year under Payton, but with Goodwin/Lelito and Jones/Kelemete we might.

One other scenario is Coleman or Jones having an incredible game and forcing their way on, but I honestly think both of those guys are PS at best this year. Both are still too raw, especially compared to what's in front of them.

Except he wasn't even doing that well in camp. He was all UDFA top dog status, much like Coleman.

Morgan and Meach both have been contributors in the past.

I don't know how good Toon is at blocking. You would think since he is a big bodied WR that he should be able to do alright with it. That has been something that Meach has always been pretty good at.

I remember how Meach had a slow start kinda like Toon has had. Eventually though Meachem started to make plays. Toon still hasn't done anything but do better at practice. I hate to be like that but you want to see the guy bring it on game day and not be the "I like to Practice" guy.

Morgan hasn't had any problems making plays when his number has been called like Toon has.

I swear that dude probably has the best highlight film of all time. All of his catches are Sportscenter Top 10 material.

No update on him or Fortt as far as I know.

Didn't look too serious for Lewis. I'm hoping an ankle sprain(hopefully not a high one). Could be a knee though.

UFB.

Can we just have the whole defense going this season?
