Post NE Injuries

[PlantBasedPoster]

JP went down briefly when he landed on his shoulder but returned to action.

Trai Turner rolled his ankle but was back in (the next series?).

Mario Addison tweaked/hyper extended his knee but finished out the game.

Funchess (pronounced funch-is, looking at you Aikman) cramped up but came back out like a baws for one final big grab before he went out again (I can't over state how huge it was and his stock immediately shy rocketed after gutting it out)

Byrd broke his forearm.

Kurt Coleman injured his knee and i have no idea how severe it is, does anybody know?

Our backup safety, Cox (?) was injured (I don't know how or what) and Colin Jones was next up and got scored on by Amendola. 

 

Lots of injuries piling up...

A list of current free agents out there. If Coleman is out for an extended period of time, I would expect one of the following available safeties to be signed:
1) Jairus Byrd (could we wash the stank that is a prior Saints defender off of him)

2) Aaron Williams - really liked him in Buffalo. Not sure what happened to him

3) Dwight Lowery - I don't know about you but I'd always be down to bring in a Bad Boy and Will Smith's former detective partner for a visit (ok... his name is Mike but you get the point)

4) Will Blackmon

A few more down the list but I'd be ok with any of the these 4 for stop-gap purposes.

IIRC pretty sure Aaron Williams has a screwed up neck.

In his defense, Brady had a long time to hold the ball and let Amendola work free.

Yeah, agreed, had loads of time and eventually someone is going to get open. Just so happened to be Colin Jones.

Jones is the weakest link in our secondary (that's why hes 3rd string), but yeah, with that much time Brady makes that pass 9 out 10 times.  I think Cox played OK FWIW.

Respect! Dude limped on the field, made a clutch 3rd down catch to keep the game winning drive alive, and then limped off. You gotta love that poo.

Cox played the best he could under the circumstances. To be thrust into a game of that magnitude with zero significant snaps during the week is no easy feat. I think he held up the best he could tbh. A whole week of gameplan reps this week will do wonders.

How they haven't found a backup safety better than jones after all these years baffles me.

[Chaos]

I have a feeling that Stephon Gilmore could be available soon.

I'd need to see the tape again.  But I heard the commentators make that same timing comment.  From the replay it really looked like Jones not following a man and getting flat beat.  But being beat by Brady/Amendola kinda happens.  Maybe it is just my bias of having seen him be subpar at safety for so long.  Love his special teams contributions, but Colin Jones in the game at safety NEVER makes me feel good..... quite the opposite.

Our safety position is as scary as we have known it would be all off season. Heck I haven't been too impressed by Adams either. 

All this being said, Coleman is a beast. If Kurt has to miss any time we are .... going to need to pray for our offense to match the points that are gonna be hung on us. Our front 7 has tremendous potential though. It was encouraging to see Mario go back in, if the front 7 get a rhythm it could hide our safety deficiencies some (fingers crossed).

I think is a turning point for him.  His confidence is super high and Cam has a lot of faith in him.

They wish. He can't be cut or traded without NE going way over the cap. They are stuck with him.
