Saints promote TE Garrett Griffin to active roster (1 Viewer)

The real story here is that Barrett is back

Wow how big is he. Or is she tiny.

 

[St.Fury]

He is, but not in a worrying sense. If we had put an OL on IR, then you could worry.

I think this is more a sign we plan on using extra heavy sets. Payton has a few plays that he wants another big guy out there.

Possibly give extra help to Armstead from time to time, as well.

I can see us running the ball more this time. Eagles are expecting passing plays I'm sure. Running against nickel would be easier.

Agree. Philly was 7th in rush D YPG, but just 21st in YPC at 4.7.

We ran all over them last time. We had 173 yards from 37 rushing attempts. We actually had more rushes than passing attempts. (23 of 32)

Forgot about Cobbs. At least we can see if he will be able to help us next year

 

[WxM]

If he's active, maybe we use him instead of Bushrod as a blocking TE, letting him rest unless an OL gets hurt. And/or, he eats up special teams snaps for a similar purpose.

Griffin will be inactive. If, (small chance) he is active, it will be for special teams.

edit: On second thought... Ya'll remember "playoff" Josh Hill? Wait 'til you see "playoff" Garrett Griffin!!!

Barrett signed to the practice squad is significant to you?

I was joking. I’m happy he’s on the practice squad but given the back and forth all year I hardly find it significant

credit JT, he is a talent and travels on and off the ship at whims. He has a real contract so he is making money no matter. 23 damn times he has moved
