    Copper also wasn't on the list. My six would be:
    Colston
    Meachem
    Patten
    Arrington
    Moore
    Henderson

    Still think Henderson still has too much of an upside to give up on... but then again it's not like he hasn't had his chance. Wouldn't be surprised to see him not make the team.

    i missed henderson because i consider him gonei suppose. skyler is 90% cut but arrington? i just couldnt cut him.
    no way we keep 6 receivers. probably 5 with bush.

    It all depends on Arringtons turf tough injury last night. That is a nagging injury that could find him on the practice squad this year.

    I do believe though that Henderson and Moore will be looking for new teams before preseason is over.

    Henderson because well he hasnt been on the field yet this season.

    Moore while he is a good player just doesnt have that 'it' to be a return guy.

    Skyler average like 10 or 12 yards a return last night didnt he? If he can keep that up he will make the team.

    Colston will be the #1 with Meachem stepping up into the #2 spot followed by Patton, Arrington #4 if he is healthy, Copper #5 and Skyler #6

    I don't think there's anyway we cut Arrington. He's done nothing but impress, and he's got a lot more potential than several guys we are keeping. Copper and Henderson have both had time to make an impact and just really haven't.

    thats kinda my feeling on moore. i guess it depends how cheap we have him and for how long. could be an easy contract if hes a productive player.


    also, skyler did let the ball bounce twice inside the 10 for touchbacks. usually guys trying to make a team do stupid shiit to make their name. Im sure payton was pleased to see him play smartly.


    i sure hope not. just seems the saints dont have room for him and certainly someone would scoop him up. he and meachem sure are physical presences down the field next to corners and safeties.

    If Bush wants to remain a Saint after this year then he needs to accept the fact that he is a Devin Hester type player and be happy with that role this year.

    he led the saints in receptions his first year. devin hester is not half the receiver bush is and vice versa on returns, obviously.

    That I think was HUGE for Skyler it shows that he is putting the teams needs before hes own needs of trying to make the team. Like you said most guys would have been trying to show off their skills!

    I meant in the return role and being used as a 3rd down back coming out of the back field for short yardage
