Can we suit up four RBs?
 
I know there are restrictions on QBs, but I haven't heard of any at any other position.

And if we can, should we, and who gets cut from the 53 to make room?

No one will be cut. We can activate all 5 RB's and a FB and not have to cut anyone.

I don't mean cut, I mean you can only activate 53 players for gameday, and up to now we have had 3 RBs active, with Chris Ivory being deactivated until Sproles was hurt. So if we have 4 RBs active now, someone has to be deactivated to make room for all of them.

Pierre, Mark, Chris and Travaris have all been activated for the past two games... So I'm guessing Sproles will be activated and Travaris will be a healthy scratch. We'll still have four RB's involved.

Gotcha, thanks. I forgot we activated Travaris as well.

That concerns me, I'd rather have Travaris in there, Sproles hand is a potential liabilty we can't afford, especially with the weather.

Actually you can only activate 45 players for gameday out of the 53 man roster. With the concussion issues these days next year you can expect that number to rise to around 49. However imo, all 53 should be active, they're getting paid regardless so why not?

Travaris fumbled with a healthy hand.

Certainly no need to rush back Sproles.

I think if Sproles comes back this week, he'd be used more as a decoy than a weapon. Kind of like Jimmy Graham was in the game where he was hurt. Then again, what do I know? I'm just a crazed Saints fan.

There is no way in hell that ivory doesn't play this week. I don't know how the math works but he will be in the equation.

Every season is different. If we have learned anything over the last three or four years it is that you can not employ the same offensive strategies from the year before. They just don't work anymore. We have found a new strat with Ingram + Ivory that teams have not seen before. This is the thing that is making the difference in the offense and allowing our play action and passing game to work again.

We have discovered this new strat now we new to exploit the hell out of it.

I would sit Sproles out anther game.... Jus thinking they r rushin him back too soon....

Our offense makes other defenses look worse than our defense if that makes any sense. I would not want to face the Saints right now.

What's the rush to get Sproles back in? We've got production that we didn't have. Not at all knocking Sproles' skills, but let him bask in the sunshine for a while.

The only starter who has not been injured...
shall remain nameless.

With the 4 they used last week why hurry Sproles back? No need to risk injury and they can razz the 49ers with his status next week
