Re: SP Putting Together a Staff
I wonder if they draft injured players as often as we do? I also wonder if we're lacking in The Scouting Department or in the medical Department?

Simply luckier than us. Eventually every player in the NFL will suffer an injury. As they say, the NFL is a 100% injury league. If anything truly contributes it might be our playing surface.

Re: SP Putting Together a Staff
The league may have to address that sooner rather than later. It seems that more injuries occur on turf then on natural grass.

Re: SP Putting Together a Staff
Some grass can be just as bad, however. Did you see how bad the natural grass surface was in the Super Bowl? Players were slipping all over the place.

Makes me wonder IF SP passed along to DA some secret pictures or something as leverage. Not seriously, of course. It just boggles the mind, doesn't it though? | |

Did you notice the improvement with Trevor L @ QB? Good enough to take the Jags to the playoffs in season 1. Oh, and Doug has skins on the wall. Dennis Allen was about as LAZY as a Saints hire you can get ![]() "Just keep doing what you're doing" - 7-10 ![]() |

I'll bet you that if Pederson had wanted the Saints job after the interview they would have pulled the trigger. The money wouldn't matter for the richest person in Louisiana (Gayle). |
