PT is a very good player. He will be missed. But, I've never seen Ingram miss a block. Also, the rotation now tightens up and mybe one of the backs may be able to get into the flow of the game better. Plus, now Payton has an excuse to run the ball more, which I believe will benefit the offense as a whole.

Do yall think they will activate Cadet?

IIRC PT was pancaked in pass blocking in the Tampa game. I wonder if that was it?

PT's last carry came at the end of the 3rd quarter on his TD run. Robinson played the entire next series.

This could also affect our return game. With PT out, do you risk Sproles on punt returns?

If not Sproles, Cadet can handle the returns. He's looked more explosive on returns this year anyway, when he doesn't fair catch

Cadet is only for kickoffs I think. Probably Moore for punt returns.

I wouldn't mind Stills getting some return action next year... Sproles hasn't done much.

Its the only injury we have had during the season ALL YEAR.... we have been very lucky during the season thus far. We will be fine without PT, statistically he is our worst YPC RB.

Are you serious bro? Vaccaro IR, Greer IR, we need all the help we can get. We were banged up all year, just like other NFL teams. No excuses but he is a vital part of our offense.

Stats are one thing but intangibles are another. His leadership and presence in the game cannot be replaced just by anyone.
