Game Ball Goes to the Wide Receivers, Especially Tre'Quan Smith (1 Viewer)

[KingNene]

A lot has been made of the Saints' lack of depth at the wide receiver position. It has been pointed out as a major weak spot for the Saints.

The receivers had a chance to show out today against and boy did they.

Michael Thomas did Michael Thomas things, even though he was double-covered and sometimes triple-covered all game.

Keith Kirkwood showed why the Saints promoted him from the practice squad.

Austin Carr had a nice touchdown reception.

And of course Tre'Quan Smith. Smith had a hell of touchdown catch and had a total of 10 catches (he only had 12 this whole year).

Let's hope this great play can continue.

10 for 157......by show of hands who doesn't think that guys gonna be a superstar?

Best part is, Payton's still got a 6'5" former All-Pro wide receiver he can dust off for this stretch run.

I don't think he undeats Smith, Kirkwood, Ginn or Carr...he will get snaps but these guys are fitting in their roles nicely.

I love Marshall for who he has been on AND off the field, but I agree with this sentiment. Marshall has an uphill climb to get on the field, and today Smith and Kirkwood didn’t make it any easier.
