Roman Humber. He was signed last year as a back up LB and would have been rotated in probably at MLB since Lofton and Vilma are not here.

Seriously. Im not even gonna ask what else could go wrong. WTF! Why are they just happening to confirm it the same day we find out about Lofton. WTF did we do exactly to warrant all this bad luck?

Well, at least it's early on. Rather get this stuff out of the way before we make our run!

What is he suspended for?

Re: And the hits just keep on coming. Humber suspended 3 games
 
How much money do we have left? Maybe we could sign a quality MLB after final cuts? Somebody who is servicable will probably be out there.

Nobody ****ing knows. It was for undisclosed reasons. Surprise surprise. Probably another trumped up charge.

Was wondering the same thing. The link don't say.

I thought I read somewhere he failed a drug test? Not sure though...

I thought a drug test failure was a 4 game suspension.

Ramon's are notorious for failing drug tests.

Re: And the hits just keep on coming. Humber suspended 3 games
 
What the hell?!? So Lofton's going to be questionable for a little while with that high ankle sprain (which is always a nagging injury that lasts ages) and now his main back-up is out of the mix for a bit. Who the hell plays MLB come week 1 if Lofton's still not 100%??

The Dude 08-20-2012 04:33 PM

Re: And the hits just keep on coming. Humber suspended 3 games
 
Ok just found out that Hawthorn is injured too and had surgery. Anyone else know about this? I somehow missed it. We just might as well not have a LB corps.

ChrisXVI 08-20-2012 04:38 PM

Re: And the hits just keep on coming. Humber suspended 3 games
 
Yep... Every LB we brought in to re-vamp the position is hurt now. All we can hope for is that Lofton can be back by week 1. I'm hoping that Casillas can stay healthy enough to fill in for Hawthorne at WLB if he needs to.

I edited your other post to link where Vitt said in conference today that....

Quote:

Linebacker David Hawthorne also missed practice today with a meniscus tear and will not play Saturday against the Texans. Said Vitt, "the diagnosis on David is encouraging. He hurt it early in the game and played on it." Vitt said he thinks Hawthorne also has a good chance to be back in time for the regular season opener.
Also....
Quote:

Vitt also hinted that wide receiver Andy Tanner may not play again this preseason after suffering a sprained ankle.

My memory isn't what it used to be, but I don't remember everyone freaking out as much in previous years about minor training camp injuries.

It was practically suicide watch 2 weeks ago about our CB's, now LB's.

I believe the only serious injury we had was Chamberlain, who was a likely back-up/ST player anyway.

I mean it's a blow, but some of these players are slated to return by first regular season game. You're right, the only season-ending injury has been to Chamberlain.

Luckily we have the scrimmage period or Preseason.

Are you guys really that bummed out that we lost our 6th best LB for 3 games?

Chill out. It's just a miniscus tear. That's only a two week deal.

I believe the Saints knew about Romon Humber's 3 game suspension before he was re-signed with the team.

They definitely knew...that was why they signed so many LBs in a bunch, all at once like that. Because they already knew that some of them were going to be out for periods of time, and Vilma was doubtful to be there at all. The recent injuries just made them switch to plan B, that's all. You could tell by the speed at which this happened, that they had this Ruud guy in their Rolodex already, they knew he was just a phone call away.

Re: And the hits just keep on coming. Humber suspended 3 games
 
Here's to hoping Ruud has something left in the tank. Perhaps a victim of scheme in Tennessee and Seattle? I'm not familiar w what those clubs run, but I seem to remember hearing his name a lot whenever we would play the Sucs, and I was surprised they just let him walk. Although his play the past couple of seasons certainly legitimizes that move : /

In Loomis I trust! Yea verily
