Re: Victor Butler has torn his ACL
 

I'm not supremely confident in a group of UDFA's. I had high hopes for Butler. He's produced with limited playing time. Disappointing.

Re: Victor Butler has torn his ACL
 

this is not a fair ? but i'll throw it at ya anyway. had it been ingram, would the injury be more serious. player wize. i'd say thank goodness its not a running back, not our top three anyway.

What? I don't get what you're saying.

Nevermind, I misread it.

Classic.

Re: Victor Butler has torn his ACL
 

I think what he is getting to is the fact that Butler was injured trying to not run into Ingram, would it have been better
for the Saints if Ingram would have gone down?


What is easier for New Orleans to replace a starting pass rush threat of a LB, or a RB?

Re: Victor Butler has torn his ACL
 

Thats about a wash to me. Maybe even slanted in Ingrams favor since Sproles is really a scat back. Losing Ingram would make us awfully slim at RB.

We still have numerous candidates for that OLB spot, albeit many are unknowns. And there may be a cagy old vet Ryas knows that can help in a pinch.

Kinda like the Gregg Williams/Pierson Preilou connection was at safety.

Re: Victor Butler has torn his ACL
 

Sean Payton and Belichick are the only two coaches that says its minor swelling and the player was actually near death. I was hoping for 10+ plus from butler but i guess next man up.


The end is nigh

Dammit and it begins

Re: Victor Butler has torn his ACL
 

Yes it does. The run to the Saints second World Championship begins. Dammit, aren't y'all as pumped as I am!

Very unfortunate.

I'm surprised more of them don't get hurt in the NFL.

Most people wouldn't last one play, much less a career.

Wish him the best. Sad news.
