Duane Brown ruled out

Duane ruled out for the Cards game.
I wonder if they are being extra cautious with our guys this week.
We'll need them as healthy as possible next week.

Wonder if Fant or Jamarco Jones will play LT?

Hope George (Fant) is readier than I think he is. Losing Brown is a humongous loss for Russ's backside.
But at least he might not have Suggs to worry about!

I believe they said Fant would be filling in at LT.

Can they activate Walter Jones from the retired reserve roster ?

Wow...this is not going to be a gimme at all....considering our depth is shit.

Dammit. This is not as much in the bag as it should be if all our boys were healthy. grrrrrr

I was worried before Brown was declared out. Now I am just thankful that I will be in the air on a flight to Miami and won’t have to witness the game. It’s funny cause the last time I was flying during a game was in 2012 when they were playing AZ too. The HUGE difference is that team was healthy and on fire. We beat the Tweety birds 58-0. This time around WILL NOT be the same. These injuries are killing us.

He is the best O-lineman they have ; but he's also the oldest and has been dinged and missing games this season . I doubt he will be back next season along with some others . The rest of the season including the post-season will show that the Hawks OL needs a rebuild next season . IMO

Brown was hyper this preseason, saying our O Line had finally come to fruition and would strike fear in the hearts of our opponents. That has not happened even when at full strength. We're going into this one with patchwork to create holes and protect Russ. I'm thinking our success today rests on the ability of Russ and Carson to be creative.

Big game for Schotty imo. Will he call plays and game plan to help out our LT to keep pressure off Russ?

That should retain the blocking services of Fant as the sixth lineman. Run the football :2thumbs:

 

[TreeRon]

Worst case scenerio: This "resting" (if that's what it is) of Brown gets our QB injured. Then we would have outsmarted ourselves.

 

[Aiunahthar]

Yeah with him out and now Iupati is questionable to return, this game is gonna be much harder. They are already getting a ton more pressure on Wilson. He is getting jumpy again. These are the most untimely injuries we've had in quite some time.

 

[chris98251]

Brown needs a minor knee surgery that's happening tomorrow based on Petes comments.

Speaking of Suggs I recall someone making a post (can't remember and can't find whatever thread it was) projecting it would be great strategy by KC to grab Suggs preventing him from going to Ravens. I saw some practice film of KC a day or so ago and pretty certain I saw Suggs participating on the field with them.
