Post NE Injuries

Recommended Posts

JP went down briefly when he landed on his shoulder but returned to action.

Trai Turner rolled his ankle but was back in (the next series?).

Mario Addison tweaked/hyper extended his knee but finished out the game.

Funchess (pronounced funch-is, looking at you Aikman) cramped up but came back out like a baws for one final big grab before he went out again (I can't over state how huge it was and his stock immediately shy rocketed after gutting it out)

Byrd broke his forearm.

Kurt Coleman injured his knee and i have no idea how severe it is, does anybody know?

Our backup safety, Cox (?) was injured (I don't know how or what) and Colin Jones was next up and got scored on by Amendola. 

 

Lots of injuries piling up...

A list of current free agents out there. If Coleman is out for an extended period of time, I would expect one of the following available safeties to be signed:
1) Jairus Byrd (could we wash the stank that is a prior Saints defender off of him)

2) Aaron Williams - really liked him in Buffalo. Not sure what happened to him

3) Dwight Lowery - I don't know about you but I'd always be down to bring in a Bad Boy and Will Smith's former detective partner for a visit (ok... his name is Mike but you get the point)

4) Will Blackmon

A few more down the list but I'd be ok with any of the these 4 for stop-gap purposes.

IIRC pretty sure Aaron Williams has a screwed up neck.

Yeah, agreed, had loads of time and eventually someone is going to get open. Just so happened to be Colin Jones.

Jones is the weakest link in our secondary (that's why hes 3rd string), but yeah, with that much time Brady makes that pass 9 out 10 times.  I think Cox played OK FWIW.

Respect! Dude limped on the field, made a clutch 3rd down catch to keep the game winning drive alive, and then limped off. You gotta love that poo.

Cox played the best he could under the circumstances. To be thrust into a game of that magnitude with zero significant snaps during the week is no easy feat. I think he held up the best he could tbh. A whole week of gameplan reps this week will do wonders.

I'd need to see the tape again.  But I heard the commentators make that same timing comment.  From the replay it really looked like Jones not following a man and getting flat beat.  But being beat by Brady/Amendola kinda happens.  Maybe it is just my bias of having seen him be subpar at safety for so long.  Love his special teams contributions, but Colin Jones in the game at safety NEVER makes me feel good..... quite the opposite.

Our safety position is as scary as we have known it would be all off season. Heck I haven't been too impressed by Adams either. 

All this being said, Coleman is a beast. If Kurt has to miss any time we are .... going to need to pray for our offense to match the points that are gonna be hung on us. Our front 7 has tremendous potential though. It was encouraging to see Mario go back in, if the front 7 get a rhythm it could hide our safety deficiencies some (fingers crossed).

    • I’m honestly not trying to argue with you or talk bad about Scourton, I like him and I’ve watched all of his Purdue stuff/videos you linked previously. Just like I’ve watched all of Princely’s Florida stuff I’m only pointing out the weight thing because I’m excited about the idea of him being 255-260 and being more of a stand up edge here in Carolina like he was at Purdue versus at A&M And like you, I have a crap load of experience doing the whole cutting/weight/fitness thing and I know how crappy/sluggish I feel when I’m holding as little as an extra 8-10lbs of unnecessary weight. So for Scourton to come out and say he’s 255-260 now and feels good that’s exciting based on what he’s put on film at 280 and not feeling his best 
    • I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game. They've created a nearly unending list of "what ifs". Hell, every HS, college, and pro team out there has a long list of them. It's also a good reminder that there's no such thing as a routine major injury. Even though sports medicine has improved dramatically in recent decades, major injuries are still somewhat of a coin flip on how a guy is going to emerge from it.
    • I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
