Greer, Shockey, and Shanle ready to go for Sunday


Saint J

Recommended Posts

With the strong possibility of home field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs on the line, New Orleans Saints Head Coach Sean Payton says that Jabari Greer, Scott Shanle and Jeremy Shockey will play Sunday at Charlotte in the regular season finale against the Carolina Panthers.

Payton said that all three were close to playing against Tampa Bay but that he decided to wait another week to bring them back. Payton made the comments on NFL Radio on Sirius Monday morning.

Payton added that Greer would play, regardless of whether the Vikings lose at Chicago tonight, which would give the Saints home field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs. Greer has not played since week eight (November 8) against Carolina due to a groin injury, eventually diagnosed as a sports hernia which required surgery. Greer has a pair of interceptions, including one return for a touchdown this season.

Shanle missed the loss to Tampa Bay Sunday with a concussion suffered in the 24-17 loss to Dallas on December 19. Shanle has 68 tackles and a pair of interceptions on the season.

Shockey has missed the last two games with a painful turf toe. He has 48 catches for 569 yards and three touchdowns on the season.

TJ Yates has a better WR corps than what Moore will have to throw to on Sunday.

doesn't matter. The Matt Moore Express is curbstomping people right now.....the Saints are flopping around like a fish out of water. Matt Moore could have Zod, a kid picked up off a McDonald's playground slide, and my grandma to throw to.....it doesn't matter as the result will be the same. Matt Moore is a half man, half god, half possible centaur.....

    • Mike Davis is like yeah, why would these coaches expect me to watch film on our next opponent if I'm playing good.  Yeah, I really don't pay attention to a lot of stuff around me if I'm doing good.   also Mike Davis, how dare they give all the reps to CMC.  from just listening to that interview, I think Mike Davis likely was often in Mike Davis' way and he can't comprehend that aspect.  Even his story of why he hated people.....was weird.  He hated Steve Spurrier because Spurrier was like hey Mike, Marcus Lattimore left...and we need you to step up into that role/void and be more for us.   And Mike Davis was like, can you believe that motha trucka!! Nah Steve.  Just give me the ball and leave me alone (paraphrasing it all obviously but that was the gist). 
    • Unless he's 1,000%, just sit him an extra week at this point to let him get his legs back under him. I want to see him out there as much as the next guy, but this was a serious thing and I'd rather wait an extra week than put him out one day too early and risk something going wrong, play the long game for once.
    • God, these posts are really starting to piss me off If we're relying on Moore, Idzik, and Canales to carry that weight, then we're royally screwing over our young WR room.  It's not that those guys can't help with some of it, but these young promising WRs are going to miss out on a lot of learning that can only be provided by the vets on the team.   You do realize that coaches spend ZERO time in the locker room, right?   They are only in there just before games and at halftime, but the rest of the week, they have their own locker room, they only spend time with the players on the field and in the film room.  There is soooooo much time that you're leaving unaccounted for where players are working together to get better. Players are constantly talking about their game and how they can improve while they're in the locker room.  If you think career long special teamer David Moore is going to be able to carry that water in the locker room, then you're sorely and woefully mistaken. Even beyond that, if a coach pulls a player aside to give advice between series, that still means there are 4-5 other WRs who aren't getting individual advice, where that's normally a time a vet like Thielen is going over with them what he's seeing out there and how they can do X, Y, or Z to do A, B, or C better on the next drive.
