Doug Baldwin out for a couple weeks

[RockHawk]

Per Pete in his press conference. High ankle sprain

 

[Jazzhawk]

Jeez...what a sucky year for Doug.

 

[FlyingGreg]

Just not his season. That's HUGE for us because nobody has been able to step up and fill his role as of yet.

 

[JonRud]

Not good. This is really bad. Damn.

 

[AzHawker]

So does this mean braylon steps in or what??

No...they fill different roles. Edwards is a split end.

Martin will go in his place.

 

[Navyhawkfan187]

Martin or Tate w/ Braylon and Sid outside it is I guess...maybe see more TE's lined up out wide too I'd assume...

Yep...and perhaps Moore can catch a pass this season.

 

[Smoke]

Wasn't Baldwin injury prone in college? If I recall correctly, that's one of the reasons he wasn't drafted

 

[Blitzer88]

Crapple.......

 

[Sarlacc83]

Well...crap.

 

[MANUNITED23]

This is disappointing. Now, the need at WR position is that much greater.

 

[gubernaculum]

Yes, Baldwin has had quite a bit of injuries in his career.

Not according to Pete...he likes our WR

 

[lukerguy]

I'd like to see Tate work out of the slot with Braylon out wide.

 

[Smoke]

Thanks to everyone who made the "I can't believe no one has been injured yet posts!!" Good effing work

I'd like to see Tate work out of the slot with Braylon out wide.

Same here, but for this year the coaches said they wanted to have him just focus on playing on the outside. He seems like a perfect slot guy to me. Guess he just isn't as talented as Baldwin in identifying those pockets in the coverage and giving the QB a consistent look?

So looks like Martin will be active unless they try Evan Moore in some hybrid looks.

 

[ImTheScientist]

I would put Tate there. He's much more of a slot guy imo.

 

[pehawk]

Stretch those hamstrings whiteboys!

Pete said that Martin was going to help take up the slack from the Baldwin injury
