Payton Turner Update! (1 Viewer)

Had to check the date of the OP to see if this was from 2021. How is CGM still not ready to go? Did they sew on an entirely new leg? Feels like Ive watched 2 world cups since the last time he played.

Tell me about it. Extremely disappointing.

That’s code for “I’m injury prone”

You know what, given the player that constantly tweeted that comment, you are probably spot on with that assessment. Poor guy was Mr. Glass’ step brother Mr. Particle Board.

man if they just have lutz, thomas and JW all of last year we're a serious playoff contender last year. frustrating.

thats not even counting 2 covid games and other injuries.

Yeah…I’m not holding my breath with Thomas. I think we’ll be fine without him. It would be a loss, but my mind as well as the Saints offseason strategy screams CGM contingencies.

That’s good for him. But as always we will see what difference he makes before I get too excited. He is essentially a rookie again, so he will still be going through a learning period.

What learning curve? how to play DE?

I'm excited that Payton Turner is cleared and ready to come back. He looked extremely promising and disruptive last year pre-season and going into early season.

The frustrating part to me isn't the fact that he got hurt, it's how hush-hush everyone was about it after. Like NO ONE was talking about it. I didn't hear anything from the organization, beat reporters (including Underhill), etc. No one would respond to questions about the situation either. We were just supposed to pretend like nothing happened. And this wasn't a UDFA or a 7th round pick, this was a first round pick... so it seemed reasonable to me that more people would be discussing it.

It was just 1 of the dozens of injuries the Saints had. Last season was like sitting in an emergency ward.

Yes, because a young college draftee has the entire strength, movesets and understanding of stunts and responsibilities coming out of college.

Glad to see Payton Turner has been cleared to play. I believe he will do better this season. He got a little experience last season before getting injured. I'm sure he knows our defensive scheme by now. Let's just hope he stays healthy for the whole season.

Well he is big and strong. There's also a breakdown video of him in NFL games displaying veteran type moves.

But, yes he can get stronger, develop more moves and get acclimated to the NFL.
