Three Dey Defensive Starters Out vs. Rams
 

From ESPN ESPN - Clayton: Week 10 injury updates - NFL

Quote:

New Orleans Saints: The Saints will be down four defensive players, including three starters on Sunday. The big news was that defensive end Charles Grant was ruled out with an ankle injury. Defensive tackle Brian Young is out following knee surgery. Linebacker Scott Shanle is out with a hamstring injury. Backup cornerback Usama Young is the fourth scratched defensive player because of a hamstring injury. Reggie Bush is listed as questionable with a knee injury, but he says he will play. He was limited in Friday's practice.

Not to be an alarmist, but we gotta be ready on D or it could be another one of those unfathomable losses to a Div III team.

Concentrate!

Ouch, this is not good. Hopefully the backups will step up. I sure hope they do. The d line probably has the best of the reserves. I guess Simmons will play in place of Shanlee,at least I hope so. Troy Evans plays with fire when he gets the chance, but sometimes it to much fire and he overruns the play.
Usama being out I think hurts more than any of the rest. Freddy will have to find and extra gear somewhere. Or soup up his wheelchair.

OK. This game just got bumped up from: Ho-hum to Oh damn!

Hate to be the ones they break their losing streak on, ya know?

Re: Three Dey Defensive Starters Out vs. Rams
 

I have this scary feeling you might just be right. I sure hope not though. Our backups have got to step up and play their butts off. No mental lapses, pure concentration. Know the game plan and execute it. This is scary.

Offense will carry the load (again)!

Re: Three Dey Defensive Starters Out vs. Rams
 

...SO, does this mean the Saints are now officially dazed and confused?

Re: Three Dey Defensive Starters Out vs. Rams
 

You also have to cinsider how many injuries the Rams have they are in far worse shape than the Saints , not to mention how the plassing game has stepped it us for Brees and co. The Saints should roll up a lot of yards and points tommorow. The only difference will be the Rams score a few more points but in the end it wont be enough

not good having this many guys out. i want to get this game over and done with as soon as possible

Re: Three Dey Defensive Starters Out vs. Rams
 

It falls on the shoulders of the DL.

Re: Three Dey Defensive Starters Out vs. Rams
 

I don't think so. Clancy and Lake has done well in spot duty at DT. Hollis finally got going. So that shouldn't be a problem.

Cooper anbd Wynn have been holding down the DE spot.

Young could be an issue. But he hasn't been the starter. Of course I don't trust David. But Craft should be fine in nickle and aren't we playing a 3 safety dime with KK now?

I'm still wanting to see more of PT23 at tailback. Let's pound the rock.
