AK on the report huh 🤔? …

At least we have the young gun Kendre Miller … oh wait, he’s on IR.

I share Dennis Allen’s frustration here on availability.

Re: Injury Report - Week 4 - Saints @ Falcons
 

On the report doesn't mean he won't play. He doesn't need to practice. Underhill seems to think he'll probably play.

Re: Injury Report - Week 4 - Saints @ Falcons
 

Ruiz worries me the most. If Patrick stays at Center, that leaves Udoh at LG and Saldiveri/Young at RG. Atlanta is going to pressure the middle.

Re: Injury Report - Week 4 - Saints @ Falcons
 

With too much pressure up the middle it could play into the hands of Kubiak's outside zone. We have to get that run going so we can use play action where Carr excels.

Besides, I'm really thinking they may put Lemieux at center after activating him from the practice squad. Lemieux spent most of the preseason working at center. It makes sense that they would use either Patrick or Ruiz as emergency "in game" backups at center, but with McCoy out use Lemieux on the long term basis keeping (hopefully) Patrick and Ruiz at their normal positions.

Reading between the lines on a Twitter post by Underhill yesterday, it doesn't appear we will have Demario or Ruiz vs Atlanta.

Kamara is going to give it a go with a broken rib.

That backup O line + Philly's vaunted defensive front beat us up last week.

Re: Injury Report - Week 4 - Saints @ Falcons
 

It’s a physical game. Team injuries can be as important as talent, coaching, TOs, or the refs.

Re: Injury Report - Week 4 - Saints @ Falcons
 

Absolute truth.

Re: Injury Report - Week 4 - Saints @ Falcons
 

Leading up to the draft I contended that we should select oline with every pick. So far, it does not look like that would have been a bad strategy.

Re: Injury Report - Week 4 - Saints @ Falcons

Olave suffered an injury at practice today.

We will see how serious.

Speaking of injuries ...

Re: Injury Report - Week 4 - Saints @ Falcons
 

Re: Injury Report - Week 4 - Saints @ Falcons
 

Demario Davis is actually human. Never would have thunk it.

Any speculation what the LB corps will look like without him? Werner and Gay with 3 safties?

SFIAH

Re: Injury Report - Week 4 - Saints @ Falcons
 

I'm expecting the same look as usual. We run the nickel about 80% of the time, so instead of Davis and Werner it will be Gay and Werner with Lattimore, Adebo, and Taylor at nickel. On those rare occasions when we run with the base 4-3 I suspect it'll be Orji in there with Gay and Werner.

I believe it was Triplett who said earlier this week that LB was the one grouping where we had the depth to cover pretty sufficiently.

Re: Injury Report - Week 4 - Saints @ Falcons
 

Good lord honestly, what is going on with this team?

We'd be better off not practicing all week.

At least the first 2 weeks were fun....

Re: Injury Report - Week 4 - Saints @ Falcons
 

Nothing any different than any other team in the league right now. Welcome to today's NFL.

Re: Injury Report - Week 4 - Saints @ Falcons
 

For what its worth here are their pff scores on the season:

Davis: 73.2
Werner: 68.6
Gay 51.2
Orji: 73.5

Re: Injury Report - Week 4 - Saints @ Falcons
 

And Davis is the heartbeat of that defense. We need him back and playing well.

Re: Injury Report - Week 4 - Saints @ Falcons
 

JUST BEAT THE FALCONS.

Re: Injury Report - Week 4 - Saints @ Falcons
 

I still like the Kool-aid pick. Otherwise I agree so far.

Re: Injury Report - Week 4 - Saints @ Falcons
 

I’ll agree with this.

Re: Injury Report - Week 4 - Saints @ Falcons
 

Re: Injury Report - Week 4 - Saints @ Falcons
 

Rest him. It’s a long season.

Re: Injury Report - Week 4 - Saints @ Falcons
 

If he's ready, play him.

Re: Injury Report - Week 4 - Saints @ Falcons
 

Absolutely! Resting Taysom may have been what cost us last week.
