PT officially ruled out for Saturdays Playoff Game
 

Just got an update on my Saints app on my phone. Ill find a link. This is not good news :(

New Orleans Saints release final injury report for Eagles playoff game

Ingram and Robinson can handle the carries, I'm still not worried...

Re: PT officially ruled out for Saturdays Playoff Game
 

Man I swear if it weren't for bad luck, we'd have none at all.

Re: PT officially ruled out for Saturdays Playoff Game
 

I hate that PT wont play but I Believe in the power of WhoDat! :bng:
One man does not a team make.

Re: PT officially ruled out for Saturdays Playoff Game
 

True, but having to pull 3 RB's off the couch for a playoff game will get your ass stomped by a 7-9 Seattle team 41-36. That much I do know.

Re: PT officially ruled out for Saturdays Playoff Game
 

Anyone see what play he was hurt on against Bucs?

Re: PT officially ruled out for Saturdays Playoff Game
 

Alright Mark. Time to silence your critics young man.

Re: PT officially ruled out for Saturdays Playoff Game
 

One of my main concerns is his ability to pass block. He is by far our best back when it comes to this. He is awesome in the screen game as well. I love Robinson and know he runs hard. I just hope he and Ingram can protect Brees in the pocket.

Re: PT officially ruled out for Saturdays Playoff Game
 

Ingram is an fairly good pass blocker. Not sure about Robinson so I echo that concern.

Re: PT officially ruled out for Saturdays Playoff Game
 

The pass Blocking is my biggest concern as well. PT is the best we have. It's gonna be a big loss.

Re: PT officially ruled out for Saturdays Playoff Game
 

Do yall think they will activate Cadet?

Re: PT officially ruled out for Saturdays Playoff Game
 

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.

Re: PT officially ruled out for Saturdays Playoff Game
 

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

Re: PT officially ruled out for Saturdays Playoff Game
 

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

Re: PT officially ruled out for Saturdays Playoff Game
 

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

Re: PT officially ruled out for Saturdays Playoff Game
 

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.

Re: PT officially ruled out for Saturdays Playoff Game
 

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.

Re: PT officially ruled out for Saturdays Playoff Game
 

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

Re: PT officially ruled out for Saturdays Playoff Game
 

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.

Re: PT officially ruled out for Saturdays Playoff Game
 

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

Re: PT officially ruled out for Saturdays Playoff Game
 

Sproles is ready.
Ingram is ready.
Robinson is ready.

I like that mix against Philly.

Re: PT officially ruled out for Saturdays Playoff Game
 

Maybe I will get to see some smash mouth football after all. I don't like PT getting hurt but I have been wanting to see Robinson get more carries.

Re: PT officially ruled out for Saturdays Playoff Game
 

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.

Re: PT officially ruled out for Saturdays Playoff Game
 

I should have been specific to the offense I guess...

PTs great we all love him, but you guys are acting like we shouldn't even show up.

Its the end of the world... 1 of our 4 RBs just went down... we are going to get beat 52-0...

Re: PT officially ruled out for Saturdays Playoff Game
 

Screen game all but dead now, can't wait to see our running backs fall down on contact now, seems like PT is the only back that gets yards after contact

Re: PT officially ruled out for Saturdays Playoff Game
 

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

Re: PT officially ruled out for Saturdays Playoff Game
 

You are right; Sproles sucks running the screen.

Activate Cadet; that will give the iggles more film they will have to watch!

Re: PT officially ruled out for Saturdays Playoff Game
 

With Sproles it's obvious that it's a screen or draw, with PT you have to defend against more options, Ingram and Robinson it's a run.

This is what drives me crazy about this offense

Re: PT officially ruled out for Saturdays Playoff Game
 

Maybe not!! Every D expects screens to PT and Sproles, which PT has done much better than Sproles but they don't have much tape on Ingram and much less tape on Robinson, if Payton can come up with a few disguises for Ingram and Robinson the screen game might just suprise Phillies D. Our screens have gotten to predictable anyway.

Re: PT officially ruled out for Saturdays Playoff Game
 

Damn right it is

Re: PT officially ruled out for Saturdays Playoff Game
 

Well he's our most productive RB were miss him is the screen game but running game I'm can't wait to see what Robinson will do.

Re: PT officially ruled out for Saturdays Playoff Game
 

Disagree buddy. Maybe at one time, but Ingram has been a mad man lately. Running hard. I respect that guy now and I want to see him stake his claim. Go get it Mark

And KR has been running hard too.

Re: PT officially ruled out for Saturdays Playoff Game
 

Glad to be 3 deep in that position right about now, Ingram KR, Sproles will probably split evenly IF we use the run game??

Re: PT officially ruled out for Saturdays Playoff Game
 

Not sure you can replace the 77 receptions for PT over the season with the 7 by Ingram (only 2 to Cadet).

Sproles had 71, so there is a bit of a receving gap at the RB position for this game.

Robinson has only run the ball, so no one has any film on his receiving skills.

Not sure but everyone that can be thrown to needs to be prepared to catch that cold hard rock tomorrow... looks like a high of 31 in Philly tomorrow, so temps will be going down during the game.

Re: PT officially ruled out for Saturdays Playoff Game
 

This blows, last time PT went down during the playoffs bad things happened

Re: PT officially ruled out for Saturdays Playoff Game
 

WTF team are you following?

Re: PT officially ruled out for Saturdays Playoff Game
 

I'll put money on sick and not hurt for the chest ....


He was fine it seemed a few days ago.

For those who haven't followed the Saints into the post season before (seems like a few)... The game plan changes.... Playoff ball is different.

Re: PT officially ruled out for Saturdays Playoff Game
 

Agreed here, it hurts


Not true. Look at the temp for here today. I live here and it is blistering today, I mean frigan blistering cold right now. The temperature is actually set to rie all day tomorrow, even throughout the night. The temperature will not drop during the game. I suspect it will be around 20-25-ish all game, maybe even 30. Thank god the game was not today. It is green bay temps here

Re: PT officially ruled out for Saturdays Playoff Game
 

Yeah, I'm not superstitious but it is an unfortunate coincidence. He went out in the second to last game in 2010 and we lost the last game and then the playoff game in Seattle.

And in 2011 he went out in the first series of the playoff game against the whiners and we lost that game too.

So the agenda for the Saints tomorrow is;
1) win first playoff road game.
2) win first playoff game without Pierre since he's been on the team.
3) eat a philly cheese steak actually from Philly (optional, but I know I would)

Re: PT officially ruled out for Saturdays Playoff Game
 

Time for Ingram to step up.
