I think our chances go up a great deal without him. Still think we’ll lose, but this may cost the Saints a couple of possessions and hopefully the Raiders can capitalize. Thomas is a massive 3rd down converter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't want to jinx us but I sense he may be vulnerable....... yeah can't judge that stuff yet for me. too early in season. brady same thing, week 3/4 we shall see how is with bucs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agarcia34 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Smart move by the Saints. No reason to risk further injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamar Raider Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Looking forward to this game, with Thomas out I think we have a good chance of winning our opener in our new home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humble_Beast Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Ruggs might be out. I think he might try to gut it out, but I don’t want him to get hurt 😔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totty Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I just called into work for tomorrow night.... It runs deep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimkelly02 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I don’t think we have a chance to win if Ruggs doesn’t play and is at least 75% healthy.... by that I mean he might not be able to burn CBs deep but has to be able to contribute as more than a decoy. We can’t win just throwing to Waller and running Jacobs. The Saints D is good enough to limit or take them away for stretches if that’s all we have. We’ll need a good game out of Edwards and/or Agholor/Zay Jones too. The Saints secondary has talent and could put the clamps on our WRs if there’s no threat of a deep ball. Jenkins can get INTs by jumping routes, knowing he’s got help from his two good safeties, if all we do is throw short passes. Only way we win is to live and die on defense by playing tight defense and take away the dink and dunks, as well as, not settle for dink and dunks ourselves. if Ruggs can play and play well and with MT out I think we have a chance to win a close one..:. but we’ll need 2+ big plays.

I really hope we can pull this one out. It's early but I believe this offense is built to not force-feed any one player sans Jacobs. It feels like this team can have anyone step up at any time. Ruggs might be limited. But Edwards, Jacobs, Waller, even Ingold and Jones and Renfrow can help us move the sticks. Even if Ruggs was 100%... I don't think we are built around him specifically. We're going too need to play the matchups in this game to be successful. Spread it around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaribouLou Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I think Ruggs will be able to go, he was able to play after the injury last week. Would be awesome if we had a Bryan Edwards coming out party on MNF. Would solidify a good upcoming core of receivers in Ruggs, Edwards and Renfrow.

Dodo Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 If not playing this game would mean Ruggs gets to heal more fully for the rest of the season then I'd be fine having him sit out. With Thomas being out it's a loss I can stomach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
