I saw HIM on Thursday. I don’t want to say anything else in case you don’t want to know what I think but if anyone else saw Him I’m here to talk about it.
Cody White just got released and a player is probably coming up by tomorrow. That way Seattle can also elevate 2 players. Maybe something like Bell signed to the 53, Shaq elevated and Martinez elevated.
I like Holani to back up K9, but calling up Martinez from the Ready Squad may be a good move. IF the trend in the game allows (we all know how 'Saints', historically, have faired), I'd like to see if Martinez has the potential that we thought when we drafted him with the blocking support Kubiak's scheme affords. I could be wrong (as that's my default setting...just ask my wife), but I think Martinez has higher potential given more reps. You can't have too many good RB's (or Bob's) right?
For what it’s worth, MM specifically cited Holani as the guy who has earned more RB reps if ZC can’t go. I think Martinez makes the most sense as a call up too.
K9 and Holani 5'10". Charb and Martinez are 6' and 6'1". That'll be no accident. I watched Pittsburg LB Patrick Queen get surprised when suddenly K9 burst through next to him for another 10 yards last Sunday.
I would rather lose to the Saints and beat the Cardinals if that is what it takes to get Spoon and Emmanwori recovered for the rest of the season. Of course I would rather win both games, but if I had to choose, I would choose the former. Division is more important than conference.
Smart ball. Rather than run from injury, engage it. Make it part of the progression to the playing field. Next Man Up. It is terribly insulting to play an injured guy over you, truth be told. Rather than HOPE you can play better than anyone expects, DEMAND it. Rather than send you in with a huge No Confidence Vote, it is on the player to have themselves best trained as they could get. If that doesn't prove out, then it is Next Man Up. You got your shot, so go make something out of it. Every one of these guys are All Stars, so be one or get gone.
The biggest consideration is who the team is going to bring up from the practice squad since there's only 2 elevations allowed per game. With Charbonnet likely out, they almost certainly need a RB to go with a DB. I can't see them going with only Walker and Holani, unless they want Ouzts or Russell to get rushing snaps.
Hell, I'll invite them to do Tight End tasks. Or Running Back duties. I've been thinking that's been the Plan all along. Somebody mentioned Arroyo being made the 'X' receiver.
It’s time for the offense, which improved from week one to week two, to step up another level and create some space for the defense to absorb some potential big plays from the NO Saints passing game. How about some big time running game with time of possession win to keep the Saints offense off the field? It would also be nice if Jerrick Reed has a surprising performance for the defense. Getting quick pressure on Rattler will also help the safeties. Let’s Go Hawks!

You think MM/JS are gambling that nobody will snatch Cody up?
I don’t think they expect him to be signed by another team, no.

I have a lot of confidence about the saints game. Which is usually too much confidence.

I like our depth and Kubiaks scheme to nail the Saint's (kinda the default outcome for a Saint right?).
Kendrick certainly stepped in for Spoon, so someone steps up for Love.

Going to be 3 players. White got released to make room for a signing.
Martinez!

I got the impression from Murphy's recent interview that we will be seeing our front five running in high gear all game/every game.
Let’s find that extra gear. Don’t give Rattler time to feel comfortable back there.
I see that as Mike's standard operating procedure (SOP).
First words I'm seeing from MM is that D'Anthony Bell is going to have a bigger role this week. So we may not see Reed at all.
Play your A Team to set the standard for what Winning looks like, then rest him and let the Ready Squad practise.
I guess they will have Bryant play some free safety with Okada. Bell is more strong safety.
