Brees to start on Sunday vs Chiefs

Alvin Kamara will be part of the passing game again! No more 95 mph fastballs on screen passes.

I bet Sean showed that play to Taysom 40 times this week in film study. Throw it with a more touch and less mustard, AK runs for at least 7-10 yards instead of a pick. That INT was a momentum changer for sure.

Lesson learned I hope.

Would have thought he'd learned it on this one ...

Heal 12 cracked ribs in one timeout? Sounds good to me!

Do players recovering with rib related injuries wear inflatable type flak jackets anymore

I am going to date myself here

finishing this thought and query but I recall back in the 80s Dan Pastorini wore a flak jacket which apparently offered him and his ribs some protection during live game action.

There is perhaps far more advanced equipment used today instead of the flak jacket or whatever that riggin' was that they had Pastorini wearing. I may be using the wrong terminology to describe the piece of equipment that Pastorini used back then but suffice to say it was some kind of inflatable vest that protected him somewhat(at least in theory it was supposed to).

Wonder if Brees might be wearing some kind of extra protection along these lines

or might that kind of thing hinder him throwing the ball

Whatchay'all think?

They discussed this today on NFL Radio. He'll be wearing the exact same flak jacket design that Tomy Romo wore the week after he suffered his own broken ribs and collapsed lung injuries. They said that all QB's now wear a form of flak jacket weekly, but there are different more protective ones for other circumstances.

Somewhere AK is blinding someone with his smile.

One week too late for one of my fantasy teams. Kamara (with Brees) got me the #1 seed in the playoffs, but Kamara (with Hill) got me a 1st round exit.
