Poe and GVR injuries “concerning and serious”

And have a $30M+ cap hit. SMH. 

Yeah, there's a lot of talk about our struggling OL and for good reason, but IMO our DT situation is our most dire concern moving forward. I don't know how to interpret Poe's "serious and concerning" injury. Does that mean he's just done for the season or does that mean his career and/or effectiveness moving forward are in jeopardy? Recovering from lower body injuries is no easy task for a 350 pound man. It's very possible that he isn't ready to go for at least the start of next season. Then there's Short and his massive contract. I wouldn't at all be shocked if he's a cap casualty of the next regime. This dude is set to hit us for $20M+ against the cap next year and the year after. He seems like a prime candidate for a post June 1st designation release.

tbh I'm honestly a little bit relieved we're not in the playoff hunt this year with the way we've been hit with injuries... Poe going down with KK already out for the year is a death blow to our defense, and GVR was one of our few semi competent lineman. If a couple of bounces had gone our way this year we could have been sitting at 7-4, but this just isn't looking like our year no matter what. 

Still would have liked to beat New Orleans but the silver lining in yesterday's loss is draft position. Might as well start early as we can. Going to be hard to squeeze out many more wins if both Poe and GVR are seriously injured. Hope they are okay.

    • NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing. 
    • The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
    • Yeah man, that was a catch. I like to imagine the game isn’t rigged but it’s well known sports betting is ruining the sport. Unfortunately, most coaches plan for 3 phases of the game. But there is really 4, offense, defense, special teams, and special occasions. on special occasions the refs can influence the game, leaving you in positions your actively planning to stay out of and how you respond in those special occasions make or break the game. Other times it’s other reasons. But I like to hope that the right team, or right player can extend past those types of setbacks and still find a way. anywho, probably a pipe dream. But it’s how I see it.
