CaGamblers Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 What do the Saint locals think about this? Lance Moore-WR- Saints Aug. 8 - 4:19 pm et Lance Moore is reportedly making a strong push for the No. 3 receiver role in New Orleans, "if not a starting position." Moore is reportedly playing faster than any other Saints wideout and with David Patten (turf toe) out, the opportunity is there. Saints receivers came out of nowhere last year to make impacts; the 5-9 Moore might be next. Source: New Orleans Times-Picayune Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronco Billy Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 How can a team that can sniff out WRs in odd places be completely inept when it comes to finding a CB who could be successful in the AFL, much less the NFL? This may sound awfully skeptical, but looking good against NO DBs isn't quite the same as being able to play against the rest of the league. We'll see, but it's always nice to see deep sleeper information hit the boards this time of year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 (edited) who would that be? #15? Moore seems like a kick returner primarily. Edited August 8, 2007 by Randall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 What's the scoop on Nance? Vikings fans would know more but I heard good things last year. Brad Childress said the reason Marcus Robinson was cut is so Martin Nance could be the red zone threat. Nance pulled his hamstring after running a 4.5 at his pro day and dropped out of favor.

isleseeya Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 5 ' 9 ' receivers , I don't believe , can last or excel in the NFL too often Now as a kicker he would actually be on the big side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajncajn Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 I'm still hoping Onome Ojo pans out... As are every Saints faithful. He's the original training camp beast. #15? Moore seems like a kick returner primarily. Yep, he will likely be the kick returner & be our #4 WR. The guy hass blazing speed, but I just don't see him beating out Patten after his toe heals up or Henderson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avernus Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 5 ' 9 ' receivers , I don't believe , can last or excel in the NFL too often Now as a kicker he would actually be on the big side is he 5'9" or 6'3"?....I see conflicting listings... and why would the Vikings of all teams let him slip if this were the case?

Seahawks21 Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 As of now, the #1 receiver in Minnesota won't have much fantasy value, let alone their #2 or 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belushi Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Too many other options for this guy to get big playing time IMO. Henderson, Meacham, Cooper, etc. He'll probably be rotated in at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatman Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 History says that there won't be a Colston-like sleeper this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 And you expect lightening to strike in the same place twice? No. Like I said earlier I think he's more of a kick returner due to his size but anything's possible. If Driver or Jennings go down I think James Jones could do it. I like his upside so far in camp.

Seahawks21 Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 As of this time a year ago Colston didn't either. There is a bit of a difference between Brees and Jackson. I don't doubt that this Nance guy is talented, but I'd be surprised if he caught more than 30 balls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muck Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 And you expect lightening to strike in the same place twice? IIRC, if you have been hit with lightening once, you are (statistically) more likely to get hit again than the average person who's never been hit at all.

With Nance I would doubt it...esp drafting Rice 44th in 07 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
