I know its only preseason but I'm really liking what I'm seeing from all the WR's. If this continues through preseason will be hard decision who to keep, special teams will play a big role in who we keep.

Hate to say it, but IDK who the hell to keep for that 5th spot. I'd like to think someone like Breaston would have been a shoe in, but both Tanner and Parker showed up big time tonight.

Breaston will really have to show up during these preseasons games. I also thought he might have a easier road to making the roster, but not after tonight these young wideouts are hungry and want to make the roster.

Tanner is a paler version of Lance. I like him....

It's never a bad idea to have guys like this who can move the chains. I like Tanner, works hard, great hands, and is quicker than he is given credit for.

I'm hoping SpiderMan will be a pleasant surprise this year

Toon is #3. Stills 4th receiver. Tanner and Parker competing for last slot. Of course, if Breaston does well in practice and preseason games, he could bump Tanner/Preston.

idk... I'm concerned that none of those can stretch the field ala Morgan/ Henderson... a key component for Saints passing game. Stills had a step a couple of times but the defenders were still right there.

I still don't get why people are citing this as such a large issue. Devery was ineffectual last year and Morgan caught ten passes. Offensive production was there regardless.

He is getting a shot, and he seems to be making the most of it.
Parker also did well, at least catching the ball. Anyone know what kind of speed he has?

Wish we could find a way to keep all of Colston, Moore, Toon, Stills, Tanner, and Parker. I think having a 6th WR is way more valuable to this team than a 4th RB.
Although I really liked what Robinson brought to the table. Hopefully they can stash him/whoever they don't keep of Tanner/Parker to activate based on the gameplan

If Tanner keeps up this level of play then he deserves a spot

I agree Cocoloco, dude def stepped up when his turn came. Very surprisingly quick and runs his routes with precision. Great hands also!!

I have a good friend from the U of Wisconsin and I followed Toon when he was there and he was always a clutch receiver.

I caught quite a few of Wiskys games that year and you're right, Toon made clutch catches all year. I was stoked when we picked him up and and disappointed he didn't get to see the field last year.

Maybe keep a 6th WR and a 4th RB and get rid of a guy who really doesn't have a position on the defense.
