This is just a "little" off topic. You might want to use a private note for this. |

The Saints now have 4 downs to get a first down. I think Brees and Payton can make it work. LOL. And I honestly do have more confidence in the Saints short yardage ability now than in years past. They've done a great job so far this preseason.

It was preseason so you had to figure they were just testing plays the first time but the second time was a head scratcher until they went back and showed the clip of the kick in the 1st half.

Reports are his leg flew off and they didnt give us any extra points for it flying through the uprights...although it did manage to knock out a few Rayda fans...it was recovered by the staff and sewn back on last night..he will be fine...

I'm a little older now, but back in the day trainers would give us bananas and help us monitor our electrolytes when we went out west for games...
Apparently the atmospheric changes and the changes in humidity affects athletes more than they realize... |

The temperature at kickoff was 69. I don't think electrolytes was the problem, especially for a kicker that doesn't even do kickoffs.

I'm giving Hartley the benefit of the doubt on this one. That field was not the greatest surface to be playing on. I didn't pay attention to the actual kick where he hurt himself, but the baseball dirt was causing people to slip and slide all night, and the grass seemed kind of long and soddy -- you could see it was giving way under people's feet very easily. Not so much affecting the running game, but I definitely saw a couple of receivers on BOTH teams, who had minor trouble with their footing, planting or changing direction, making cuts, it was tearing up.
Like I said, I didn't see the actual kick in question, but especially IF he was kicking from the dirt part of the field, or if he planted his foot and hit a clump of grass that gave way, then an injury in that situation could be perfectly understandable. It is unfortunately part of the game. |
