PT officially ruled out for Saturdays Playoff Game

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.

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.

I am quite sure SP knew this before today. He will have a plan to play without him. Hi Eagles... can you get any more fortunate this season.

I'm sorry, but there IS NO replacing PT. His instincts are not found in any other RB on this team. This will hurt.

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.

I understand your point, but we are not FINE without anyone. I want all of our weapons because it is more you must game plan for and against. This hurts, IDC what anyone says. That said, he isn't Jimmy G, so that's a huge plus, and SP learned himself something a few years ago- have interchangeable parts back there so the war machine can go on
