The only guy I want to rely on is Colston. He gets his no matter what. Moore is best suited to the slot. That being said, they use three and four receiver sets alot and Brees goes to the open man. So, a third WR can put up good numbers and a fourth WR like Meachem can put up a good game now and then too.
This. Who ends up being the #1 depends on the defense they face on any given day. I'm a Colston owner, and am basically accepting this fact.
I'll be the 50th guy to back up drew's post. There's no set #2 guy.
Colston I think is most talented but Brees is going to throw the ball to the open WR.
Believe it or not, past performance does not guarantee future results each NFL season.New season, buckle up.
Right you are. Past performance does not guarantee future results, it only helps you predict them.
Based on snaps Moore appears to be #4.
That would have been a brilliant prediction 24 hours ago.
Yep, he tends to do the "and then" whenever I pick him up for a bye week fill in.
If Moore is on the field half the time than Henderson the #4 matters. Gotta be on the field to get open.
Thanks for the info fellas, do the teams release this info and are they anywhere on the nets? This is more important than targets. As a Moore owner, I am not pleased at all with these numbers, it looks like I will be auditioning some WR's for my 3rd slot. Do any Saints homers know if he's in the dog house, or does the staff like Devery better?
You're overreacting, I think. Moore had been out much of the preseason with the shoulder injury. He as healthy to play doesn't mean he's ready for every snap. He's being brought along slowly.
Sean Payton referred to the numbers himself in his presser. If you ask me the person who should concern you as a Moore owner is Jeremy Shockey - if he continues to play well, it will be him that takes most of the looks that Lance Moore used to get in the middle of the field. Moore and Devery are very different receivers - Moore is shifty, plays well out of the slot and has good hands, while Devery is taller and faster than heck, but has very suspect hands. I don't think it's a matter of staff liking one over the other, I think it's a matter of whether the staff feels the need to stretch the field, work underneath or run the ball. Also keep in mind that Devery is a better blocker than Lance Moore - since they were running the ball so much that probably skewed snaps in his favor.
I have said this in multiple threads. Now people are seeing it. he was hurt all last season and now he is 100% healthy. I we all know Brees loves TE's stemming from his days with the Chargers and Gates. Shockey is going to be Top 3 this year.
He got 8 targets. :( I'll buy that pyrite.
The injury to Billy Miller will boost Shockey's numbers more than those other factors. Before that, Shockey and Miller were in line to share the pie much the way the WRs do.
until he gets hurt again
It's pretty clear to me - Henderson starts opposite Colston, and Moore plays the slot. However, as the season progresses I expect Meachem to take a lot of targets away from Moore and to keep Moore on the bench for some 3 WR sets. Those who doubt Henderson or Meachem are in denial. DH has progressed to the point where the coaches & Brees feel comfortable enough for him to be starting, not to mention he can stretch the field as well as anyone they have. Moore owners are in for a long year IMO. He'll have some decent weeks, but I'd be shocked if he outproduced Henderson or Meachem by years end.
Where were you when I drafted Moore over Henderson and Meachem?
i think it is really more a case that meachem will be starting over henderson. neither player is a good fit for the slot, while moore is tailor made for that role. devery and meach are very similar players but for the fact that meach seems to have better hands. i guess they could try colston in the slot with meach and devery on either side of him but that's an experiment that has yet to take place.
Colston won't be the most productive, or even most targeted, WR every single week, but he plays the most, and will put up the best overall numbers for the season, barring injuries. The others will have some big weeks, but will probably also have weeks where they do almost nothing.
Not sure where he was, but a few of us were saying that Meachem would be better than Moore some weeks before the season.Where were you when I drafted Moore over Henderson and Meachem?
Moore might be knocking off some rust, but I just wonder if he opened the door a little too wide for Henderson and Meachem.
my friends and i were joking that last week's game was the one game every year that devery looks fantastic. it seems like every year he has one or two games where he looks unstoppable but will disappear for weeks in between.
Interesting quote: so from this it sounds like Meachem may get more action.
Where do you get the snaps data??
Colston is the #1. He's on the field the most, he's first or 2nd in read progression, and he's the biggest and most talented. He wasn't running very crisp routes in week 1 though, and that does bother me.
