Poe and GVR injuries “concerning and serious”

[mc52beast]

Throw anyone out there Ron, your lines can’t get any worse

[uncfan888]

Losing those two will really hurt the playoff push

[LinvilleGorge]

Both DTs currently under contract next season will be over 30 and coming back from season ending injuries. Yikes.

Question for the group....Can Slye play offensive or defensive line?

Thankfully we have a defensive minded coach to get the most out of them

[Captain Morgan]

injuries have killed us this year.  And big men that old coming off lower leg injuries....

color me concerned

[Mr. Scot]

Not a big fan of Poe but still, damn.

[WarPanthers89]

We have so many holes going into next year it is unreal 

[Jared Patterson]

What is our draft position after this week?

Haven't seen him line up but my guess is gonna be at least as well as Daryl Williams, and he's younger and costs less. Ron's position flexibility ftw.

[Mr. Scot]

I'm now reminded that we had Chris Manhertz single blocking Cam Jordan on some plays yesterday

Damn...

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.

[Mr. Scot]

Three years, 27 million for Paradis, right?

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.
