Saints Defensive End Greg Romeus tears ACL
 

"Saints interim coach Joe Vitt revealed Thursday that second-year DE Greg Romeus tore his ACL during OTA practices.
Romeus tore his other ACL as a senior at Pitt and missed his entire rookie year while recovering from November, 2011 reconstructive surgery. At one point a big-time prospect in college, Romeus simply can't shake the injury bug. It's a fairly big loss for the Saints because they are so thin at defensive end.

Saints interim coach Joe Vitt revealed Thursday that second-year DE Greg Romeus tore his ACL during OTA practices.

Out 6-8 months.

He was running and it gave out.

He can be back in time for the SB

F**************K!

Damn, y'all! This **** is really starting to scare me. Daniel broke his thumb, Romeus tore his ACL and MCL. We need Brees back NOW!

Cut him.

Well that sucks balls...

Disappointing. Hope this isn't the end of his young career.

I was getting excited to see him play. ****!

Romeus, Romeus, Romeus...
We were all looking forward to seeing what this kid could do.
Wow!

God damn, Andre Carter here we come!!!!

****

Was looking forward to seeing what he could bring to the defensive line rotation, we might never know now

This BLOWS :(

Man I feel for the kind. This sucks so bad for him.

DL him now and bring in some more prospects

[QUOTE...We need Brees back NOW![/QUOTE]

Does Brees have a magical elixir that will prevent broken bones and torn ACLs?

Sucks for him AND us. We needed the depth at defensive end.

SUUUUCCCCCKKKKKKS

That may just do it for him... can't contribute if you're always in the tub.

So who's available?

I think we're fine with Smith, Jordan, McBride, and Galette.

I don't think anyone was depending on Romeus anyway.

Depending on him? No.

Sure we're all in agreement that his potential under Spags was exciting

Don't forget about Martez

Damn, I did. We'll be fine at DE.

My concern with him is dropping back into coverage.

Braun? Yes. Brains? We don't know yet...

Brains and coverage are the least of my worries. He seems like an intelligent guy in every interview I've ever heard with him.

Being that he played MLB I suspect that his coverage skills are much better than most DE's.

...In college

And OLB in the NFL.

13 games, 10 tackles and 1 sack

Let's call it upside ;)

Dude sucked anyway.

Wrong

I know right sf..some people say the stupidest sh!t

Damn I was so pumped when we drafted him. I was riding on his jock!
I wanted this kid to just explode on the field! I hate to say , it's all but over for him.

That sucks for Greg and the Saints and the fans. I think they'll stick with him. His potential is very high when he's healthy. If he gets hurt again next year, I think he's done.

Same here, I feel bad for him. You can't make the club if your in the tub. Good luck Greg. This kid did not suck. He was adam good football player.

Time to get Charleston back in the mix. He is no worldbeater but just a real solid backup that will make little misstakes and every now and the come up with a big play.

Not a bad idea at all. Where is he? Is he available?

I hate this news, out of all the DE's I thought he could have been the best under Spags. Maybe we will try to keep him somehow.

Wilson is gonna explode at that position this year, we'll be fine.

Probably selling furniture again...

As for Romeus, this sucks big time, and it might be a sign that his physique just doesn't have what it takes to be a professional contact sport athlete.

I was really looking forward to seeing him take the field in preseason like most of you, but I guess there's always 2013.
