Greer, Shockey, and Shanle ready to go for Sunday

[Saint J]

With the strong possibility of home field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs on the line, New Orleans Saints Head Coach Sean Payton says that Jabari Greer, Scott Shanle and Jeremy Shockey will play Sunday at Charlotte in the regular season finale against the Carolina Panthers.

Payton said that all three were close to playing against Tampa Bay but that he decided to wait another week to bring them back. Payton made the comments on NFL Radio on Sirius Monday morning.

Payton added that Greer would play, regardless of whether the Vikings lose at Chicago tonight, which would give the Saints home field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs. Greer has not played since week eight (November 8) against Carolina due to a groin injury, eventually diagnosed as a sports hernia which required surgery. Greer has a pair of interceptions, including one return for a touchdown this season.

Shanle missed the loss to Tampa Bay Sunday with a concussion suffered in the 24-17 loss to Dallas on December 19. Shanle has 68 tackles and a pair of interceptions on the season.

Shockey has missed the last two games with a painful turf toe. He has 48 catches for 569 yards and three touchdowns on the season.

doesn't matter. The Matt Moore Express is rolling and nothing can stop it......whoever steps on the field in a Saints uniform will be squashed like a bug.

TJ Yates has a better WR corps than what Moore will have to throw to on Sunday.

Good. I'd hate for injuries to spoil it if the Panthers pull off the win.

doesn't matter. The Matt Moore Express is curbstomping people right now.....the Saints are flopping around like a fish out of water. Matt Moore could have Zod, a kid picked up off a McDonald's playground slide, and my grandma to throw to.....it doesn't matter as the result will be the same. Matt Moore is a half man, half god, half possible centaur.....

Panthers = nothing to lose

None. Stewart is perfectly capable of making them wonder why stuffing the box still isnt working all day.
