I agree that it is a legitimate concern; however, I have also heard some analysts suggesting that Cooks will also see some of the passing targets that were vacated when Sproles left the team.
I think he'll get the ball in every way imaginable. 2-3 carries, screens and a few deep balls each game.
I think it may prove to be a serious mistake to brush aside Colston's portion of the workload based on the one-off premise that "he's ancient." He's 31, and when healthy last year, was still very productive and a target mule.
what would you peg percy harvin's value at if he had gotten traded to the saints?
No.
The sharps draft him #1 ahead of Watkins. The situation is to good.
are they actually lining him up in the slot a lot in camp?
Yeah you're right. They will put him in the slot but he's more of an OW. The point his he is going to be on the field a lot and it's a high volume passing offense with a bunch of vacant targets that it looks like are going to mostly go to Cooks.
Cooks is so much more complete than Austin will ever be. Cooks is a WR that's a good athlete. Tavon is an athlete trying to play WR and hasn't figured it out yet.
This time last year Austin was so much more complete than he really is. He was going to be R. Moss circa 1998.
Rookie hype train is a dangerous thing, I guess I don't recall it much. But i'm just speaking on skill sets.
the hype was very similar....everything coming out of St. Louis was he was wowing, uncoverable, was going to get handoffs/end arounds, etc.. I like the situation a lot more in NO due to the Brees factor but they are a team that spreads it around amongst all their skill players. I'm just afraid from a redraft POV all the hype and sound bites are moving him into a mid round territiory.
Austin with Brees throwing him the ball and Payton calling the plays would be more impressive.
Yup, he was going to get 40+ carries and at least 1000 in the air. How many times in league history has a WR had over 25 carries in a season?
similar hype =/= similar outcome
What a freakin move.
This was a concern until the preseason game. I saw 2 catches where he avoided a sure hit by going to the ground. Then when he had a little space he used it instead of giving himself up. Both of which are rarely seen from rookies. They are either scared to take a hit or try to do too much.
