No Reader and no Logan Wilson means some guys are going to have to step up big time.
Shelvin was awful in preseason so let’s hope he figured something out while on the practice squad (like how to prevent 350lbs from being pushed back 5 yards on every play).
Hopefully they will put up some points so they can get a W this week and then get some guys back before they play against the Browns rushing game.
Jay Tufele step up! This dude was a stud in limited snaps against the Saints in stopping the run, has only played football
a couple years and was a standout at USC. We wanted this guy over Shelvin I read and he knows how to use his leverage
well while keeping his eyes on the RB in the backfield while he sheds his guy. Saw it multiple times against the Saints in
the Star is Born thread by JJ22. Go watch it.
I am more worried about our edge run D with Wilson out. Pratt, ADG, Bailey, Johnston and Bachie along with our Safeties
need to really watch the Saints tape and see how bad they were stopping the run on the edge. This is where I am more
concerned, not as much in the middle if Tufele continues to play like he did against the Saints.

Against a weak secondary, we need to put up some points and that will hopefully force Atlanta to abandon the run or we’ll score enough to where it doesn’t matter.
Joe said he likes the version of himself where he throws for 400yds best, so let’s see that Joe this week! LFG!
Joe seems about ready for that breakout game against the 2nd worst Defense against the pass...

Didn't know Shelvin had a broken wrist in PS. That sure would make sense on why he was crappy. Thanks Truck.
