WHODAT BEAST IN THE CELLAR Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 The words is that he could become the player he was in '06 for the Saints D.The coaches are very pleased with what they are seeing of Rod thus far.Imagine that push up the middle from the Saints D. He and Sed Ellis could present major problems to your interior offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ki46dinah Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 It would be awesome to see him at full speed again....he was a good player for us.He is very injury prone though, and immensely lazy for someone with his abilities.If his hunger to play the game matches his hunger for a paycheck, he will be a force once again.

Shredman Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 nice pass rusher, weak vs runSaints will need their dts to stuff run, esp in this div.... Coleman is a liability in that Phase ....why do you think hes not here ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude was pulling muscles on a boat lolWell 92% is a solid number, IMHO, you can sit out the entire week of practice but as long as your out there on Sundays and giving your team something I'm fine.

ya_boi_j Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 See was that so hard to say. No need to be jumping off walls over something like what I said. You guys are rivals right. If you said that about Abe, I wouldnt get mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you said that about Abe, I wouldnt get mad.I'm not mad, I don't have a clue what Coleman will give us. He's looked good, but who knows what will happen when the regular season gets here. I was just stating 92% is by no means a injury waiting to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ya_boi_j Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Well I see u got his on field % b4 the injuries occured. Did they also state his % after the first major injury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolafan33 Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Well I see u got his on field % b4 the injuries occured. Did they also state his % after the first major injuryAfter the first major injury he's played in 90% of games, which for a 9 year career is still a good number. Injuries happen, major injuries happen. But when he hasn't had that, he's been solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ya_boi_j Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 He didnt have a 9 year career with the Falcons though. He had a few healthy seasons with us. Next thing you know boom. Gets injured in the offseason causing him to miss time. Comes back, gets hurt again and again which led to him getting the boot. I never said injuries don't happen, just I cant praise a player who spent the last few seasons on our our team injured over preventful reasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falconboogie Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 "Guy" played 92% of his games with the Falcons before his injury in 2007?The problem I had with Coleman and his injuries are that they happened off the field. First one, the car accident with a deer in the wee hours of the morning. The second one really got me, he injured his leg on a jet ski. If he's committed to keeping his body healthy and his skills haven't dropped off, he will do well for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Does anybody here wonder why Coleman was a free agent for how long?Because last year he was failing physicals and team workouts after the injury. He had not recovered, and it scared the Bucs off, for one. The fear was that his recuperation time was only a sign of the future.The guy was a force, no doubt. But 32 year old DT's aren't in high demand right now, most teams are looking for a several year starter, not a stop gap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they obviously saw something they liked this time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhourk Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 How can it be true? He played in 92% of the games he could have played while in ATL before his injury.The he missed the entire year, that knocks it down somewhere below %70. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe horn Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 ...which still makes him an upgrade from Hollis, all things being equal.Our line is looking significantly leaner these days. And for once, it's in girth and not depth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
