When you consider Trufant will be covering Cooks it looks pretty bleak.

A Colts fan told me that they saw him holding a ball, but wasnt sure if it was thrown to him or he just picked it up.

Their receivers are not that healthy either. Jones is beat up and Sanu is still beat up but they are both playing.

Re: Snead out tonight (7 starters out)

It's true Cooks hasn't had his best games against the Falcons but "struggled" is kinda strong. I think it would be more accurate to say the Falcons have been able to keep Cooks as an average receiver.

In 3 games against the Falcons, Cooks has 16 receptions on 19 targets for 140 yards and a touchdown. 8.75 ypr.

I'm guessing Trufant probably doesn't look forward to the match up either.

Also, If Trufant is shadowing Cooks, that means the 5' 10", Robert Alford will be seeing a lot of 6' 3", Micheal Thomas on the other side. That could turn out to be a match up Brees could exploit.

Either way, this would be a great game for Fleener to start catching some balls. Watson tore up the Falcons last year and this year the Falcons haven't looked any better at covering tight ends and backs.

If we lose tonight, that doesn't reflect well on our season losing on the 10 year anniversary of the dome reopening.
