Hadn't realized we get two back now (might as well not have a limit, imo)...

I agree totally. The greater ability to rehab injuries and the tighter constraints over the designations makes the old rules obsolete. The IR rules were put in place to avoid "hiding" players for return the same season. That is much harder to get away with in today's atmosphere.

But now it begs the question... Ted Ginn or Josh LeRibeus?

Tre'Quan Smith was drafted to be the future, replacement for Ginn...

Now, is he injured and it's limiting his ability at the present, or...

Tre'Quan is gonna need more time to aclimate, adjust to the offense?

If it's injury, then you roll with Smith, let him regain his health and bring back O-Line depth...

Tre needs to tighten up the chin strap. Last two games, he's had opportunities to SCORE (dropped pass on 5 yd line vs Dallas) & move the chains (flea flicker vs Tampa) on crucial drives. That's how you lose trust from #9 in crucial moments.

Gotta get it together TS.

Bring back LeRibeus. Our line needs as much depth as it can get going forward.

I wonder if we see Brandon the Marshall this week

Thoughts?

Now that Mr. Ola is injured, there is a good chance they bring back LeReibus.

Saints have a ton of WR's on tap. That O line depth is a bit shaky for me.

At this point (one month since signed BM) it's more likely "Take some" Hill has a better chance of catching a pass at WR than Marshall.

I hope I'm wrong though. We really need a #2 since Ginn is still out.

Agreed. Plus I think that if Marshall was going to make any real impact, he'd have been playing by now. He may suit up in the coming weeks, but I have zero faith he'll have any sort of impact. Hope I'm wrong!

The o was clicking last season late with ginn I were hoping he could get pressure of Thomas if could return but with online sporadic play we could use some fresh legs

Let's make the new rule happen, SP, now that you're on the committee!
