Saints TE Benjamin Watson to be inactive this week

[RamsSince1969]

Let's see if anyone comes in "whistling past the graveyard" saying this missing player won't matter much anyway.

I hope it doesn’t mean Thomas gets even more balls thrown to him

It will, especially if Peters is matched up on him.
Saints will like their chances.
We just need to get to the root of the cause and smash their O line.

That guy has a career in politics or as a lobbyist after this is all over. He is a conservative Democrat, or a moderate Republican. Either way the fringes don’t like him, but the sane people do.

Totally right. I followed him on Twitter for a long time, until I quit Twitter altogether. His writings and posts and appearances are truly inspirational and genuine. I haven't been able to say that about anyone in politics for a long time.
Buuuuutttt, we stay away from politics here completely, so I hope we kick his team in da shins & send Ben on a nice off-season recovery.

Depends on how you look at it. Forcing targets to your only capable pass catcher feels a lot less effective than not targeting him because other guys are making plays.

The Saints have reported that TE Josh Hill is ready to start again. It seems their big concerns is having Watson ready for the real game in a little over two weeks....Hill has started 11 games this season & last season too so he is a starter in this offense anyway. He is not a big threat in the passing game though. Saints just signed him to a three-year contract extension a few weeks ago. The rookie TE Dan Arnold (more tall WR than TE) will take Hill's 2nd TE spot Sunday afternoon.

It's my belief that Asshole Face will use Tayson Hill & Alvin Kamara to fill in the vacancy of the injured 3rd wide out. Kamara has always played well against the Rams. Tayson Hill who is 6-2 225 lbs will be a thorn in the Rams defense to this Sunday. Payton is always soo cocky uke:he will attempt to flood the Rams Defense with many receivers with the goal of getting Thomas one on one with either Joyner or Peters. Both are big liabilities.

Well, Ben is on the field and warming up.

What a pleasant surprise.

Maybe so El caliente but confirmed as inactive by the Saints....
