WELP AA to IR
 
Nader Mirfiq @Nader723
Saints place WR Adrian Arrington on injured reserve ending his season.
Don't have a fuming link its a god damned tweet. Jesus H Christ could the cards fall any more against us? Not that AA was a huge loss but jesus we needed all we could get at WR. I cannot believe I waited all offseason for this ****. I was happier when I was all negative and ****. You assshats had to get me all pumped with your positive gibberish and give me hope, now its a long ass fall if we start stinking up the joint;.

How about Branch? What sucks is that Loomis is not here to make these decisions.

Don't jump off the wagon just yet, Dude. A lot of season to go... I think it's safe to say Henderson will not be out for too long and I'm sure the receivers are working on the drops this week. We'll be fine...

They also resigned camarillo. I know a lot of people were clamoring for him.. it'll be ok, dude. The sky hasn't fallen, at least not yet

AA is like the Saints equivalent of that Steven Wright character in "Half Baked," the random guy who lives on the couch. Or that one person in every office or company, that nobody really knows what he/she actually does. He's kinda become a joke of himself at this point. Mr. August.

Unless there is something we don't know about yet; he may have one of those devastating, season-ending hangnail or stubbed toe type injuries, that knocks him out for the whole year because they discovered they suddenly need that roster spot for something else, and he's the only non-critical person on the team who was legitimately hurt, with something that the league would buy into the Saints putting him on IR for. But even though we're thin at WR it's only temporary, and they might need that spot more urgently for something else.

I like where your head's at. Maybe they're getting ready to make another move. There surely are some WRs out there that could use a good kick in the tires

Get roby some snaps, he was easily the best WR in preseason

Danno 09-12-2012 04:35 PM

Re: WELP AA to IR
 
Colston
Henderson
Moore
Roby
Camarillo
Morgan
and Tanner on the practice squad


What exactly is the problem at WR?

I think the only reason they brought him back and then IR'd him is because they didn't want to make a permanent move like cutting him outright without Loomis around.

Is there any update to Henderson's situation? Figured he was inactive this week.

I thought Tanner was injured as well. But you're right, that does still leave us five-deep there

We don't know the extent of Hendersons injury and behind Moore not one of those guys have played a down in the regular season. Not that they aren't capable but they are a question mark and I will rest easier when I see them in action.

Camarillo and Roby have been around forever, and Morgan played extensively even before Henderson got hurt.

The only thing that really puzzles me about Arrington, is why was he resigned and then almost immediately put on IR? Why didn't the Saints just leave him on the free agent list and grab him later in the season if needed or when he got healthy? It is not like the Saints didn't know he was injured, of course maybe that was it, perhaps they feared a grievance or something, who knows... To me, at least on the surface, it looks like a stupid move. I would say that it was messed up because Mickey Loomis didn't handle it, but come on, we all know Mickey is still running the team. I mean seriously, dude is working for the Hornets during his suspension, wink-wink, ya know...

Maybe because they were afraid if they left him out there in FA another team would scoop him up when he got healthy. Stashing him on IR was a way for them to keep him around without having him count against the final 53. The conspiracy theorist in me thinks that the FO as it is was too scared to leave him out there cut in FA without Loomis and Payton having a say in it.

Then again he may be a member of that insane clown posse.

Camarillo - Off the street.
Morgan - Flashes playmaking and hands of stone.
and Tanner - Injured. Never played in the NFL regular season. on the practice squad

Alot of uncertainties there. I love them. I'm certainly hoping for the best. It looks like they may have to outscore everybody.

We set NFL records with basically that same group. Losing Meachem hurt, but not enough to panic... yet.

This way they can rehab his knee and when they think he's healthy they can cut him with an injury settlement then re-sign him for the remainder of the year once he clears waivers. Having him on the IR keeps other teams from knowing his health status.

Roby? Average special teams skills? What game are you watching?

Along with 'Tez, Roby was kinda the lone bright spot on ST this weekend, plus the dude is ALWAYS first to the play on punts

Okay fine, he fumbled last season in a pretty important game, but that's no reason to hang him out to dry. The guy keeps making the team for a reason, and being an 'average' special teamer ain't it. Its not like he makes clutch catches on offense or TD saving tackles on defense. He makes the team BECAUSE he is a very good ST player.

Sorry to get heated, I just dislike 'hate' getting thrown that guy's way, especially with how his production looked in pre-season in the receiving game.

I'm reading Drew actually asked the front office to make this move. True or not? I can't say.

True. A link is posted to an article about it somewhere in here. They practiced together in San Diego this offseason and Drew is really high on him. I expect he will fit in well as there is a trust factor there that is lacking between him and Morgan at this point. I think He and Morgan will build chemistry as the season goes on but I don't think Morgan had a ton of reps with the ones during camp. From what I remember he mostly worked with the second team.

No, he drops the ball more than anyone on our roster, and he's been a team killer everywhere he's been, and most important of all, I just don't like the guy.

He's not Saints material.
