Sproles being phased out?

RailBoss · 12-22-2013, 06:16 PM

Sproles has been banged up this season out with a concussion doesn't look like he is playing at 100 %.

I was thinking injury could be the reason but he looks fine when he's returning the ball. He's usually a matchup problem along with graham but right now I hardly see him lining up.

Saving him for the playoffs could be reason for the lack of play...

If Brees and company keep fumbling around there won't be a playoffs.

Thanks Boutte ... If this game was not enough to get the players to preform and the coachs to have prepared and called a quality game I failed to see how we expect something different next week or in the playoffs ... I am a Saints Diehard but Hope will not float this playoff boat ...

NICE AND TRUE.

But I agree he is banged up and not 100 percent. I wouldn't take the risk

Are you serious? Not busting your chops here, but if you dont win where do you see us playing in what playoffs. I'm scared as hell for this game coming up.

Sproles was hammered there for a stretch. Teams have gotten better at game planning for Sproles and Graham. With the inconsistent running attack the receivers have needed to step up, but with the lack of protection from the O-line, that has been hard to accomplish because Brees doesn't have time to get them the ball.

Probably closer the truth.
Sproles got smacked up in the Week 11 San Francisco game.
Inactive Week 12 for the Atlanta game.
