re: wr corp

bonethug also said colston isn't having issues getting separation

fricking Brandon Marshall and was traded to jets for essentially nothing.

I like Willie Snead. I don't like the fumble on Sunday, but this guy had potential to be a reliable receiver. He catches the ball with his hands and is a good runner after the catch.

Cooks is a good complimentary receiver and he is a fine #2, but it's too early in his career for him to be a go-to receiver. The Saints lake a true #1 talent at receiver.

If they want to win, they need to commit to an effective running game and focus on play action and possession receptions as well as featuring the backs out of the backfield to be successful until that talent arrives.

They also do need to occasionally throw deep...at least keep the defenses guessing.

Any one commenting on WR play while watching the games on TV is ignorant. You can't see sh!t unless its a drop.

I would like to know (can't watch game film) what do all the posters who go to the games see.

Are the WR's covered up or is drew missing the open guy?

Brees is running like a chicken with his head cutt off every play.

Payton sends every reciever on 8+ yard routes every play with 0 creativity and he gives no check downs. We are either in empty set, have a RB in to block, or throw a screen pass. This means that even when Brees successfully gets a 3 step drop and looks at his routes they're all still running. No one is underneath, no one is cutting short, no one is there to check down. And it forces him to do one of three things: 1) make a bad throw 2) scramble like an idiot 3) get hit hard.

The lack of commitment to the run game coupled with the absolutely obvious pass plays is brutal to watch in the stadium.

But the third quarter I was calling the plays correctly about 3or4/5 times. If some drunk fat idiot in the terrace can figure out what your doing, you can be damn sure the guys paid millions of dollars a year to play against you know exactly what you're doing.

The play calling is fricking retarded. Bottom line. It's unimaginative, it's pathetic, it's systematic and predictable, and worst of all it puts the QB in danger and it gives the receivers and Running backs no hope.

The sad thing is our recievers actually get open occasionally, but Brees is usually either play actioning for no reason or running for his life. shite is painful to see.

It's almost impossible to evaluate talent on this team since they are given 0 opportunity to show what they can do.

I said it last season and I'll say it again, Payton has completely lost whatever magic he had. It's time for a new offensive coordinator.

Looking at the drafts, time management, and overall discipline of the team in the field Payton's entire coaching abilities should be seriously discussed in the front office.

I watched Coleman more than the other WR's on Sunday and he seemed to be open quite often. His routes and fakes on his moves were better than I'd imagined.

Agree 100 percent. He needs to let Carmichael take over. A HC calling plays just doesn't work anymore. Hell even McCarthy in GB gave it up. I also think our WRs do need to improve, but thats only half the equation.


Our defense gave us plenty of opportunities to win the game and our offense shite the bed. Something has to change.

Thanks for the responses guys. About what I thought.
