statick Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 lewis, coleman lost from falcons' d-lineby steve wychethe atlanta journal-constitutionpublished on: 11/19/07as if the 31-7 beating by tampa bay sunday wasn't enough, the falcons appear to have lost at least one starter for the season and could have two others in serious jeopardy because of injuries.nose tackle trey lewis suffered a severe right knee injury in the first quarter and likely is out for the season. defensive tackle rod coleman suffered triceps and hand injuries on his right arm, and both were said to be potentially serious. offensive tackle todd weiner also left the game."trey, i don't think is a good deal," coach bobby petrino said. "it looks serious."coleman played after getting hurt but wore a protective support on both problem areas plus sizeable padding on his hand."both of them might not be good," petrino said of coleman's injuries.coleman has already battled through operations on his right quadriceps and knee that have limited his playing time and restricted his effectiveness.the loss of both starting defensive tackles would leave the falcons with montavious stanley, jonathan babineaux and recently signed tim anderson as the only defensive tackles on the roster.weiner aggravated his surgically repaired left knee in the second quarter and did not go back into the game. quinn ojinnaka replaced weiner."todd would have stayed in and played if he could have physically, and that really concerns me," petrino said. "he's tough and has played with injuries and knows how to play with injuries."backup tight end dwayne blakley suffered head and neck injuries and did not play for most of the game. blakley's loss hurt the falcons because they could not run two-tight end sets, meaning tight end alge crumpler had to be kept in on some passes to help with protection.petrino said he would have more details on the injuries after the players undergo more extensive medical tests today.hall points finger at self on long tdcornerback deangelo hall got beat by tampa bay wide receiver joey galloway for a 44-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter and admitted trying to jump a slant route. hall has been susceptible to receivers who attack him with double moves."i gave up that touchdown pass and that's not me," hall said. "that's not what i pride myself in doing. just as a whole, we didn't play great."galloway ran a slant-and-go route. hall jumped the initial move and couldn't recover when galloway broke the route upfield."they have been trying to get that on me for the last three years and they finally got it," hall said.

Mr. Offseason Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 i think we can say rod will be gone after this season.yup. its sad but its true, i called him getting hurt now that i gave him props for playing well. but we just cant pay him what hes earning when he is injured this much. i dont think he has played 16 games combined in the past 2 years, in fact im sure of it. time for him to go.it is too bad about trey, but he should still start next year, we played well when he was in there.
