    Whatever happened to Nick Toon and Andy Tanner?

    Tanner is on the practice squad and I think Toon has been in the doghouse for some key drops earlier in the season, but Payton's needs to get over that. With the exception of Graham and Stills, the WR corp has been inconsistent at best, so why not give Toon a shot? Colston will have 3 bad games for every good one he has and it doesn't seem like Moore and Meachem can get separation anymore, so they've basically disappeared from the offense. (To be fair, Drew rarely has time needed to go past his 2nd progression so that's part of it too).

    I'm not necessarily saying to start Toon, but the dude is 6'4, so he can created match up problems for shorter DBs, especially if Colston (6'4") and Graham (6'7") are in the game at the same time. It's time to see what he can do. He can't play any worse than Moore or Meachem have.

    He may have been before, but he's on the active roster now. Here is a list of Saints currently on IR:

    99 Coleman, Kenyon DE 6-5 29334 12 UCLA
    20 Davis, A.J. CB 6-0 18324 1 Jacksonville State
    11 Givens, Chris WR 6-2 20324 1 Miami (Ohio)
    33 Greer, Jabari CB 5-11 18031 10 Tennessee
    13 Morgan, Joseph WR 6-1 18425 3 Walsh
    21 Robinson, Patrick CB 5-11 19126 4 Florida State
    91 Smith, Will OLB 6-3 28232 10 Ohio State
    32 Vaccaro, Kenny S 6-0 21422 R Texas
    51 Vilma, Jonathan

    Victor Butler is on the PuP.

    I forgot all about Joseph Morgan. Too bad he got hurt. He had a monster year last season and was supposed to be our other deep threat to go with Stills.

    He should be nicknamed "Hands of SToone". Dude is tall and can get open, but he can't catch. I hear you, though, nobody else is doing anything, so may as well give him a shot.

    Called both of them out earlier in the week and both have TDs. Guess I need to do that more often.

    Toon lost us the game vs the Jets.

    Why did you think he was on IR all this time?
