Soooooooo next year if a Saint gets a knee blown out by the Falcons because Atlanta is bum rushing a victory formation, the Falcons should just say, “That’s too bad. And f—— the Saints.”

Gotcha Jimmy Graham.

    Yeah, it’s understood that in the victory formation, the offense is going to take a knee. There’s no need for the defense to try to play hard and risk someone getting hurt. Greg Schiano was the coach of the Bucs in 2012/13, and he had his team rush the line on kneel downs. He got crucified for it, lost his job for it (among other reasons), and hasn’t been back in the league since. These guys’ health is their paycheck, and if the Saints are going to pull this kind of crap, someone is going to get hurt. Jimmy Graham is being unnecessarily cavalier about it.
