NFC South injury (not the Panthers)

Falcons LB Lofa Tatupu will be out for the year with a torn pectoral.

So they let Lofton walk (to the Saints***) and replaced him with Tatupu. All they've got left at the position at this point is Akeem Dent, a 3rd rounder out of UGA in 2011.

Considering the fact that the Falcon's DL is pretty poor, that's a helluva hole right up the middle of the Falcon's defense.

Double Trouble time!

The injury bug might be a major factor again this season in the NFCS, and it's biting the Falcons early. Perfect.

No not perfect... They will have plenty of time to pick up somebody that gets cut or off of waivers. I don't wish injuries upon even our worst enemies... When we beat them, I want them to be at 100%. The Saibts fans will be crying about bounty gate both times that we beat them this year.

I don't wish injury on any player, but after the fact I'm very pleased that the Falcons have been weakened. Let them search the waiver wire and worry about that position. As for wanting them to be 100%, I'd rather they be as weak as possible when we play them to raise the odds of winning.

    • The bad thing is that Xavier Legette kind of ignored the Jugs machine his rookie season. The good thing is that he's committed to it now. Catching is important to an NFL receiver (sarcasm), but, perhaps just as important is a receiver's---any player's---mindset.  "This offseason, the young wideout has gotten back to something in terms of preparation (Jugs machine). 'Oh man, it’s always been something I’ve done, and I don’t know why, but I felt like I could take a little breath,' explained Legette (via Darin Gantt of Panthers.com). 'And when you’re playing in this game, you can never do that. It’s always a way to get better, and that’s one of the ways to help with catching. For sure, for sure. In my mind, I’m thinking about ways, things I can do. What can I do to have less drops this coming season in Year 2? 'The whole mindset has changed, man,' added Legette. 'Trying to do anything I got to. I’m sacrificing a lot of things that I used to do outside of the building to put my work inside the building.'" https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/xavier-legette-focused-on-reducing-drops-that-plagued-rookie-year-with-panthers-01k1692c0tz9 So, yeah, it wasn't good coming in taking some things for granted, but Legette is young. His mentality appears to have changed and he appears to be maturing and he's been putting in a lot of work by all accounts.  I know some of you are down on him, but I still have faith. Last season was a disjointed mess in its entirety, but there were still some flashes, particularly with route running. With Legette's seemingly better fit as the WR2, mindset and focus---doing his actual job catching the ball---he should be able to improve.
    • It is worth noting the fanbase has long held a love hate relationship with PFF over the years. Now that we are employing some of their people and actively using their data in our roster building approach going forward this should serve as the end all be all to any debate. This is either going to end really well or really bad. It's the Panthers. So save your energy and give it some time.
    • And to be honest, we weren't really talking about PFF grades either. I brought it into the conversation via a pic that's LLM-related (which apparently some Huddlers took issue with) as an aside for providing more specificity than just sheer numbers
