    Late addition so doubtful he plays this week. Optimistic Fan Club said in his post game show that he was concussed from that hit in Q1.

    I'm surprised they can tell the difference.... Concussions are serious injuries - I remember they made a different kind of helmet for Larry Csonka back in the day. I wonder what ever happened with developing a helmet that would try to not let that happen, if possible.

    They're trying stuff, like that bonnet over the helmet that some players wear, including JOK when he got injured. Over the years the whole shape of the helmet has been changed to try and combat head injuries. I mean, aside from making the helmet the size of a beach ball, how much can you do?

    So Sanders is going to have to work his ass off with those starting receivers. We need this win.

    @Orion It will be interesting to see if Monken runs the offense almost exclusively from shotgun this Sunday with Sanders or if he mixes it up, with more under center. He did run the offense under center last year under Stefanski, right?

    I don't know the percentage. But I don't think we'll see major changes in this game that Sanders has to play in. And I'd assume that Watson will be going right back in when he's cleared to play. Unless Sanders really lights things up. Which is what he'll probably be hoping/trying to do. It's his only hope.

    hopefully #2 will be able to get some play action going on. if he sez's scores 24-28 points #4 may not get his job back

    With the Saints defense being so bad, the Browns should run the ball a lot. No need to let Sanders throw 30 times

    And they don't really know even what they're talkin' about And I can't imagine what empty heads can achieve OZZY
