so you are saying the article didnt come about because Watson made some nice catches in an OTA?

It was an observation piece, hardly an article. Watson was the jumping off point. Was a lot more info in it.


But seriously, read into it a little more.

god you're as dumb as your brother


The title : Dont Sleep on Ben Watson


the first 2 sentences

quote:

Josh Hill received almost all of the hype as the New Orleans Saints' next big thing at tight end with the trading of Jimmy Graham to Seattle.

Don't sleep on Benjamin Watson, though, at least after the third day of organized team activities.




Im not reading into anything. That's what it says. Plain as day. If it were just a normal report from practice, he wouldnt be telling us to look out for Ben Watson .

Lester's preferred OTA article: "THEY PRACTICED"




You pick an angle and go with it. Watson will be a factor in this offense this year. That's all I feel he meant by "don't sleep on him".

It's like deep down, you're trying to make him say that we aren't going to miss Jimmy this year.




You don't have to be angry all the time, bruh.

In all seriousness, I think Ingram is overrated for where he's paid at. Don't get me wrong...I wanted him back just not at the price the Saints paid. I felt that his constant injury problems and less-than-productive seasons would've drove his market value down. He ran well last year but I question his character when you only get up on a contract year.



His contract is a steal at 4 mil a year

but you can't deny how athletic Graham was.

If you look at Josh Hill's athletic measureables, he is right up there with Graham and Gronk in almost every one. 40 time, vertical, etc. Am I saying that's what will make him good? Not really. Watching him play and stretch out for a catch reminds me of the passion that Graham had before he got paid. Good athleticism combined with passion of the game = a potentially great player. I'm personally predicting a 70 catch, 800 yards, 10 td season barring injury.

Watson will be on the field a ton like he has always been but I still think Hill will have more catches. Watson is an excellent all around TE. I wouldn't be surprised to see him lineup a bunch at FB or H-back this season.

That being said even at 34 Watson is a solid NFL TE. Combine that with an elite QB and 40 catches, 400 yards, and 4-5 TDs seem like a good bet.

kinda poor taste after the Don't Sleep With Darren Sharper thread

I really am confident of not only TE but the receiving corps as a whole despite the loss of Graham & Stills
