Re: Saints Starting Linebackers Suffer Injuries and Suspention
Man... Nobody ever tells us anything during the games. I never had a clue anything was wrong until today. I vote for the starters not to take another snap this preseason. This is just dumb at this point.

Re: Saints Starting Linebackers Suffer Injuries and Suspention
I hope our offense can score 75 points a game because or defense aint stopping ****. We seriously have no LBers worth a damn left. One of you guys who knows more about LB's around the league tell me who is out there that could possibly get cut is worth picking up.

The Bills released Shawn Merriman today. But we'd be better off bringing Ricky Jackson back than picking this guy up right now.

Chamberlain's injury is unfortunate. Don't know anything about Humber. |

Re: Saints Starting Linebackers Suffer Injuries and Suspention
And who do you replace? The only player we lost was Chamberlain.

Re: Saints Linebackers Suffer Injuries and a Suspention
Lofton will not play opening day nor will Hawthorne, 6 to 8 weeks is the normal recovery time for a high ankle sprain so I would be happy to see Lofton by week 4. Hawthorne will end up missing 4 weeks and be back for week 2 hopefully. I would be shocked if we had both for opening day. We will need to move Wilson back to LB, and should look at bringing is Shawn Merriman or Joey Porter.
