Brandon Meriweather Out 2-4 Weeks

CultBrennan59

Was that a blow out? I don't remember that game. But that's an in division, we played that team well because we see them twice a year. Saints we see 1-2 every four years. Drew Brees with a football is more dangerous than Mike Vick IMO, because I've seen the eagles offense be stopped many times. Havent seen the saints just get shut out or even stopped.

Well, they're two young pro bowl players, so yeah I'd say they definitely could have been difference makers...

Ugh..

Well, next man up... Let's see what depth is made of..

Chico23231

opposed to our depth at safety, certainly yes. I think they are even more important when you start the season with instability at the 3rd corner position and D Hall coming off a bad season. Those CBs need a lil help, it was more likely to come from Meriweather and T Jax than M Williams, Gomes, and Reed. We saw the Reed, Gomes starter combo last year for several games, man that was horrible.

Reed will do exactly what Merriweather was going to do. Great run support, and average pass defense.

Our safety play this season won't be affected by who we put back there on our active roster at the moment. They are all above average to average.

I'm concerned about M. Williams. Gomes, Bernstine, and Doughty are about the same players overall, with Doughty and Gomes having the edge with playing time and Bernstine with potential play making abilities. Williams has limited range in the deep passing game.

Gomes actually played great this preseason. He's not that much of a difference maker but he's solid. It's too bad that Jackson and Meriweather are out, Jackson much worse. But Doughty is serviceable and we're learning about Bernstine and Madieu Williams is an experienced veteran. It's truly no different than last season with Landry and Atogwe.

Brees might get 400 Sun.

Interesting. When we picked them up people just shrugged and said meh, they're "just guys". Now they're pro bowlers... potential difference makers. Not picking on you, just funny how perceptions can vary so greatly.

so true around here. As soon as someone gets hurt they were the potential difference between losing and winning on Sunday.

Look S position sucks for us the level of play from starter to PS is not that great. Anyone at that position could go down it won't make that big of difference because the next guy up is at about the same talent level as the guy he is replacing.

You can bust on Reed but some how he has stayed on the same team for a long time by NFL standards he must be doing something good. Merriweather and Jackson can't say that they are journey men.
