PFT: Saints, Cardinals In Play For Sean Weatherspoon

Marlboro Man · 03-08-2015, 01:12 AM

Players get hurt. It's part of the game. That being said, they don't all get hurt throughout their entire careers. Saying someone is injury prone is a misconception. Some players are not as lucky as others for different reasons. Freak accidents or playing so all out and reckless that they hurt themselves. It takes a player a few seasons to acclimate themselves to the NFL. They come in trying to impress and play too reckless and get hurt. Sometimes those players are the playmakers everyone is looking for but because they haven't matured yet, get hurt in their first couple years. Could be because they don't get enough rest because they're out partying with their new found riches, some get hurt because they don't eat the right things to help their bodies regenerate and heal. I just don't necessarily think someone is just predisposed to injury. I also don't think one player is more apt to get injured than another player. If Spoon was hurt earlier in his career then the odds would seem to be in his favor to not be injured for several years. I'd be in favor of giving Spoon a 2 year contract and see how it goes with if they're worried about it have an injury clause. The guy's obviously got playmaker talent. I'd say give him a shot.

I wouldnt be against the change back to a 4-3 though im not sure Galette is a great DE in that scheme, I did read somebody suggesting using Galette as both a LB and DE similar to how the Broncos use Von Miller(i know he is 10x the player).

Good bit here on the Broncos base defenses of a couple of years back
Denver D: Broncos Big Men and the front 7 - Mile High Report

This is the same way Dennis Allen played the Broncos as DC.

Dont think it gets done this year though

I don't really rate Ellerbe, both he and Paul Kruger got rich off one decent performance in the Superbowl and have done literally nothing since.

Kruger had 53 tackles and 11 sacks this past season. I wouldn't call that nothing...

Fair point, didn't like 4 of those sacks come against us though? Lol.

Larry Holder mentioned that Mason Foster might be on the shortlist. Says the Saints liked him in the 2011 draft

I remember him doing damage against us (INT). He is also a good player.

This rumor has the Falcons fan all up in a rage so that's funny anyways.
