I agree. He is getting a lot of touches/looks. He got one look at the GL (from the 4). I think he's going to be a beast in PPR leagues.

Thanks
Colston is looking pretty good. TD
JJ left with an injury of some sort.Winslow is getting all kinds of targets - he should have just got his second TD, but they didn't want to waste a review, due to a pass int call.Any Joe Jurevicius sightings?
It was known (and reported by me in the Browns thread) that there was a good chance the Browns were going to try Vickers as the short-yardage back. I can't guarantee he will be that all year, but it that seems to be the approach today.
For the few suckas in my local league who scoffed when I took Reggie in a PPR league with my second round pick....
:highfive:
I was impressed by both Bush and Deuce. They both woulda had better numbers if they'd had a lead blocker. It may only be one game, but if the Saints can manage to get through the season with both Bush/Deuce being threats out of the backfield, they'll manage a decent season.Colston / 9 / 4 for 49 / 1tdHorn / 7 / 2 for 25Bush / 9 / 8 for 58Henderson / 3 / 3 for 44McAllister / 1 / 0 for 0RushesBush 14 for 61Duece 22 for 90First thoughts: Defenses are going to have a hard time getting much pressure on Brees this year with the # of weapons we have. Picking up John Carney would be wise as we still have a hard time getting it in the endzone from the redzone area. Our defense played really well against the run, but I think Clevland had bad play calling in this area for most of the game. Bush lived up to the hype IMHO, and if you play in a league where total yards means something than he should be one of the top players. They will use him alot in the passing game, that much is obvious. I don't think the Browns are a very good gauge of where we are at for this year, but I was very happy with the Saints playcalling & physical play today. If Colston is available, he deserves to be picked up. And Henderson looked better than I thought he would. Joe Horn has slowed down, and was having trouble catching the ball today. Duece is much slimer, but his numbers will be affected by how much Bush is on the field. When it came time to run out the clock, Duece got the ball everytime, which I expect to be the case anytime we have a lead late or a large lead earlier. We need to get a fullback, or hope one of the 2 gets healthy soon.Fujita looked great today, as did Bullox, Harper, & McKenzie. Penalties were not so bad for once. Both D & O line looked pretty good, but again this may have been some of the browns ineptness.Win baby.
He caught a nice mix of both. They lined him up from several different spots as a reciever.
I would say most out the backfeild, but he made some catches spread out. He lined up at WR a lotand used the handoff(Duece)/fake end around(Bush), or fake handoff (Duece)/end around (Bush)
And to think that it came down to him or Colston as my WR3.JJ left with an injury of some sort.Winslow is getting all kinds of targets - he should have just got his second TD, but they didn't want to waste a review, due to a pass int call.Any Joe Jurevicius sightings?

Must have been sitting in the old stadium or something?
Cosidering they were on the field for 2/3 of the game and didn't give up many big plays I thought it was a pretty good outing, especially considering how many 1st time starters the Browns put on the field. Usually alot of new guys means some blown assignments and I didn't see any.Must have been sitting in the old stadium or something?

Nope. The LB we picked up in the trade has had a decent game and has helped with the run. Colston/Henderson have 93/1 and we still have the pick that could be up to a 3rd rounder. Donte always had good games, but then quickly fell asleep for weeks at a time. Considering he only had 1 year left on his contract, I'm quite happy with the trade.KnowledgeReignsSupreme said:

It was nice to see a Saints defender actually wrap up a ball carrier and make a tackle. It had been so long since I saw something like that I had to ask a friend WTF that was..."It's called a 'Tackle'" It was also nice to see a huge reduction in the stupid pre-snap penalties. Like Tipsy said, it's hard to gauge how much of the Saints success was due to the Brown's ineptitude though. Payton called the best offensive game I'd seen from the Saints in a long time--which was a surprise given his history of having the play calling duties taken away from him. I had my expectations low for their use of Reggie Bush given the lack of creativity we've seen from the Saints in past years, but they used him very well. He ran inside, outside, was used as a receiver and caught the screen. He truly is the real deal. As in the preseason, the facet of his play that most surprised me was his inside running. Contrary to many assertions, he didn't lose yards on a lot of plays and typically made the extra yard or two in traffic after you thought that he'd been stopped. Deuce also looked great. The Haslett regime asked him to bulk up and he took some weight off this year and looked much quicker. Brees was a little rusty, but at least he didn't throw the ball backward. Horn looked like he had lost a step. Colston was very good...he got open and made some good catches. Don't expect too much because he seemed to share the spotlight with Henderson. All in all I was favorably impressed, but I went into the season with very low expectations.
How many free dinners will it take to get that ticket from you? Brunch for a month? I'll do all your homework?My wife is going. I'm working. = Tipsy very sad.

I would have never thought the Browns controlled TOP from watching the game. It was a game of 2 halfs, but I didn't think the Browns did enough in the second to make up for the first.
