Re: Defense solid , injuries taking their toll
 
Not to rain on the parade but I just checked NFL network statist and the saints have moved up to the 4th ranked Defense!! This is mind blowing to me. Rob Ryan is clearly the coach of the year. I mean didn't he get fired for guys getting hurt. The more veterans get hurt the better the young guys play.

BTW: the Saints are the only team with a top 5 ranked Offense & Defense at 2nd & 4th respectively!!!! Whodat baby!!

If he didn't tear something I will be pleasantly surprised.... Anyone who has ever had that type of injury knows it could be over for Greer.... I saw it and I immediately said that's his season.... And maybe his Saints career. Nnamdi is available.... I would go and seek his ass out!

I think it was a dislocation and not a serious knee injury. We will see.

I haven't been impressed with Carr at all but looks like we're going to need him to step up in a big way. I'm also hoping Rob can find a way to schematically use the depth at safety (Jenkins, Harper, Vacarro, Bush, Quddus) to weather the storm at CB. He's been doing great so far so I will stay positive until I see otherwise!

I also think this will be great for White's long-term development who is the CB2 of the future (well and now the present).

Its called depth.... When you have it, you can weather the storms.

Carr's exactly what you want for a 4th or 5th CB. He can stop the bleeding if needed and plays special teams well.

I'd like to see sweeting activated and hopefully Vaccaro can be back by Thursday. If he's out it's going to be tough sledding trying to cover gonzalez. This falcons game is going to be dangerous.

The falcons o-line bleeds penetration like our defense bled yards last year. No many teams have an answer for Gonzo... White drops more than he catches...

I will say this... We better have an answer for Douglas, I have him on my fantasy team and he is fairly lethal.

That dude is for real. And they just signed him to a 4 year deal. Damn he'd look good in Black and Gold.

He flys under most radars. In terms of Fantasy points. He is #5 in the entire league for the last 4 weeks totaled.

He is tied with Megatron for receptions, and 3rd in yards.
