I think the only piece left that would take this offence to the next level, is a Jason witten type tight end that just gets open in the center of the field. Thomas is a great possession receiver outside the hashes and slightly in. Coleman is mostly the same and tommy can stretch the field. I think snead will help in this area out of the slot, but having a guy on the line that can eat up that 10 to 15 yard area over the middle would be the tipping point.

Honestly I think Fleener has stepped up as that. He's made some great catches this year.

Honestly, I think after we get Snead back this offense is pretty damn complete except for the temporary O-line shuffle. Once Armstead comes back and we have Ram/Strief at RT the O-line will be up to full strength.

I also don't really think the offense misses Cooks. Ginn has done fine this year with the deep ball and once Snead comes back Brees isn't lacking for targets to throw to at all.

I like Fleener's role. He's throwing some solid blocks and catching passes here and there. It's way more than I expected from him coming into the season.

I think Fleener will be fine in that roll and once Snead is back we will see much better 3rd down efficiency. I think some have underestimated how big not having Snead the first 4 games has been. He was a couple yards shy of 1000 last year and that was almost all out of the slot. We get that production back and it opens it up much more for Fleener or really anyone else to also produce.

I think we have all the pieces that we need on offense. They just all need to get healthy & stay healthy.

I am with the others, think we need a young deep threat. Passing yards came hard against the Panthers and I think part of that is the safeties played closer with man on the outside, even on Ginn.
