Saints All Saints RBs OUT Sunday due to close contact (MERGED) (1 Viewer)

[Consigliere]

We should beat the resting Panthers with a combination of Ty and Taysom. But that will not cut it in the playoffs. We need the bye or at least a Sunday wildcard game.

 

[Saint Taysom]

This sucks no doubt.... but I have to admit, I’m sorta excited to see Tony Jones Jr. for the first time as a Saint.

The Ty & Taysom show tomorrow.

Unbelievable!

Taysom Hill is the only “RB” the Saints will have?

I’m sorry, but I find this hilarious. Only further proof that fans care more than players. I refuse to care more than they do.

 

[Saint Kamara]

Brees 36-45 363 yards, 3 TDs

Callaway 11 catches, 117 yards, 2 TD

Watch the master at work.

 

[J.T.]

We know Ty Montgomery.

Here is Tony Jones Jr. Practice Squad RB who should get some carries tomorrow.

Jones was an excellent football and baseball player at famed IMG Academy in Florida, earning top 250 recruiting marks. After redshirting his first year in South Bend, he contributed in 12 games as a power back in 2016 (44-232-5.3, three TDs, one start). Jones carried a heavier load as a sophomore, starting three of 13 games played (83-392-4.7, three TDs rushing; 6-157-26.2, one TD receiving). He finally became the team's top dog in 2019, leading the Irish with 857 yards and six scores on 144 carries (6.0 per). He also caught a career-high 15 passes for 104 yards (6.9) and a touchdown. Jones did not fumble on 298 career touches.

The close contact guys can play in the WC round if they don't have positive tests, I think. The Broncos got their QBs back after playing us b/c the rest of 'em never tested positive. If Latavius & co. test positive, THEN it's really bad news.

We should beat the resting Panthers with a combination of Ty and Taysom. But that will not cut it in the playoffs. We need the bye or at least a Sunday wildcard game.

NFL and NFLPA very pleased with the protocols in place.

I mean, the protocols aren't the problem here (if those pictures are, indeed, accurate).

We are the only team heading into this weekend without an entire position group. The other 31 teams don't have a problem at this point (and yes, I realize others have along the way).

I'm just glad Kamara was able to get his club on. Totally worth it.

 

[BroKV]

Brees 36-45 363 yards, 3 TDs

Hopefully, need Cook to get out of his funk. Need Brees to utilize Sanders and Callaway more and then sprinkle in Trautman and Hill

 

[Grumpy Old Manatee]

Might as well just sit Drew. No sense risking him getting reinjured if we don't have a legitimate RB in the backfield to help block for him on passing plays. C'mon Jameis, time to step up.

 

[AARPSaint]

Let's hope they do better than Julius Jones and Ladell Betts. Good grief, what a horrible situation.

 

[bclemms]

Covid is optional. So no, Covid wont mess up the playoffs for the Saints but the players may.

People are blowing this way out of proportion. The Panthers are beatable with just Taysom at RB at this point, and correct me if I'm wrong, but if Murray/Washington/etc. test negative post-Carolina they'll be able to come back for the first WC game, right?

I'm not shaking with fear playing any of the wild card teams without Kamara, either. It sucks and you'd rather not have it to begin with, but the Saints will be fine for 1 or 2 games.
