Deuce Update from ESPN

QBREES9 · 02-14-2008, 10:27 PM

New Orleans Saints running back Deuce McAllister

The injury: McAllister suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in a Sept. 24 game against the Tennessee Titans. The injury came less than two years after McAllister tore the ACL in his right knee.

The outlook: McAllister is 29 years old, and the fact that he has been a workhorse throughout most of his career brings questions about how much he has left. But he made a strong recovery from his first injury, and Reggie Bush wasn't able to show he could be an every-down back last season. Ideally, the Saints would like to use the pair as a 1-2 punch. The one bright spot in McAllister's injury is that it happened so early last season that he will have had almost a full year to recover.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one in this world that thinks that. ESPN, I don't watch them or read that magazine any more. SI NFL Network.

On top of that, ESPN charges money for their premium articles, most of which a person is able to find by doing a simple search on the Internet. What a joke. I really love profootballtalk, that site has come a long way over the past few years from being just a garbage gossip type of site, to a legitimate news source for NFL junkies.

But back to the topic, do you all think Deuce is going to return full strength or should we look for another "power" back. I just dont think PT can bust through the hole either.

Deuce is going to make doubters eat crow. Don't doubt on Deuce.
