Colston... Fuck/Reggie the Slots Manager

Rats, folks. Marques Colston, the be-all end-all of receivers for the Saints (and a top five receiver in the league, to be sure) is out 4-6 weeks with a torn thumb ligament. Or as Buddy D (peace be upon him) would say, "torn lumb tiggamints". This is, naturally, a bad sitch for us to be in, but come on - let's not start crying yet. HOW much depth do we have at receiver? We're stacked like Pamela. Devery Henderson hauled in an 88-yarder and David "Frodo" Patten hauled in a 39-yarder, both against a brutal Succaneers secondary.

I'm bummed, but not worried. I am constantly proselytizing about putting Reggie in the slot as more of a split back, the results of which we saw a bit of on Sunday. If we keep at that - Reggie on the outside in open space, Pierre Thomas off-tackle - we'll be sound as a pound. I'll bring in Billy Mays, "the most intense dude ever ejected from a vagina" to tell Sean Payton about my Reggie/slot ideas... YOU HAVE TO!!!!!!
