Can’t keep relying on UDFAs and below mid level guys to make big catches. People kept telling me Cedrick was a viable option. People keep singing these UDFAs praises. I keep hearing about CO being a #1 option.
its not just about this game. Shaheed couldn’t come down with the big catch last week. Tonight he stopped on the other one he couldn’t reel in. He’s ascending but he’s not a true route runner. Tipton should not be the guy we are relying on. CO just doesn’t command a side of the field like true #1s.
CO is a real #1 WR and he got the #1 WR treatment tonight. Problem is teams have figured out if you take away Olave, the rest of the Saints WRs aren't scary. Shaheed is really only consistent as a deep ball threat. Tipton is a rookie learning on the job. Wilson is a never was who is still a never was. Adams would be a huge boost to the Wide Receivers, but after tonight's debacle and injuries, I'd much rather the Saints keep their draft picks and not make next year's cap situation worse.
I agree Breese is great at times, but he need to be more consistent and needs to be better against the run. I have hope that he will get there, but I don't think he's there yet. In the meantime, the sacks are great.
He's a young DT and that is a position that most hope can just be a situational player in their early years. The fact he's so productive so soon is an excellent sign of his development, but the fact the Saints lean on him the way they do says a lot about the lack of talent around him. Can't miss as many early round DL picks as the Saints have. Hopefully they get it right this offseason.
