are you talking about sherrod martin?

Yes, he's not taken well to the switch at CB and now he's being moved 'back' to safety. He's not going to be cut being a second round pick, so the next obvious move is to shelve (red shirt) him for a year with a hang nail. The team has done this several times in the past with rookies not cacthing on or making the initial impact the team had hoped for.

martin was being moved back to safety because we are thinner there than at CB and he got passed up by CJ wilson and the capt.

My point being he's being moved around and hasn't found his home just yet on the cusp of cuts. It's not out of the question the team will IR him.

According to the Reed, Martin just got a bruised knee covering a punt and isn't expected to miss much time.

As for the switch to safety, I'm pretty sure that had more to do with having a shortage at the position after Godfrey got hurt, than anything else.

They've IR-ed players for less than a bruised knee...just saying. He hasn't looked that great and the team could use the roster spot, especially at corner. He could be the odd man out and you know he's not going to get cut. It would be a tactical move if it happened.

    • Well even if we took diverging paths getting there...our overall assessment of Shough is the same (bolded) lol so I guess that's what matters.  What you call "playing at a level that looks like a veteran starter" is the same thing I'm referencing when I talk about his poise.  Although I still wonder how truly "bad" of a team the Saints are.  Their defense is middle-of-the-road, and their offense does have some good pieces (Olave, Juwan Johnson) outside of running back which is the position most everyone agrees is relatively plug-and-play.  I'm not going to pretend to know anything about the majority of NFL team's o-lines lol but I'm assuming Saints are not great there, although Shough's pressure % seems to have been quite low (and steadily improving) over the last four weeks (20 -> 16.7 -> 15.0 -> 13.0) so maybe they've been playing better as of late, or perhaps Shough himself deserves credit for that.   Some of the language I'm hearing about Shough, including talking about how he's way above league average in several categories, makes it sound like Shough is having a rookie season on par with like a CJ Stroud who established himself as basically a Top 5-10 QB his rookie season.  Maybe that's on me though, I don't mean to attribute anything to you that I'm sure you don't agree with.
    • Since your being selective (and somewhat deceptive) with your comparisons, I'll throw this up so we can compare apples to apples. Both Young and Shough have played against the Rams. Young went: 15/20 (75%) for 191 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTs with a 147.1 QB rating Shough went: 15/24 (62.5%) for 176 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT with a 81.2 QB rating   Both Young and Shough have played against the Buccs. Young went: 21/32 (65%) for 206 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INTs with a 102.5 QB rating Shough went: 13/20 (65%) for 176 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT with a 65.4 QB rating   Both Young and Shough have played against the Falcons. Young went: 31/45 (75%) for 448 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTs with a 123.2 rating Shough went: 30/43 (69.7%) for 243 yards, 0TD, 1 INT with a 74 QB rating   Seriously, in what world is Shough a better QB.
    • Freddie? For this game? Seriously? I don’t get it. Hope we get the best version of Freddie tonight.
