Re: Jammal Brown hurt!!!!!!!!!!!!
A lot of you fellow posters really crack me up sometimes. While I am sitting here talking about statistics and probabilities some of you are ranting about "team sport one player can't determine success or failure" or "support your team" or my favorite "what happens in the preason is meaningless".
The Saints are currently a preseason 18/1 odds to win the 2008 Super Bowl. There best preseason odds in franchise history if I am not mistaken. I want you all to watch these odds fall to somewhere between 25/1 and 30/1 if our starting Pro Bowl LT is down and out for the year. Is the season over? Of course not. Should we be selling our tickets or lighting ourselves on fire? That's for each of you to decide. What I am saying is that the people who put big money on these things make odds for a reason. I will leave my argument at this. Without Jammal Brown in the lineup I give us little to no shot at winning the Superbowl and I see Drew Brees being exposed to between 10 and 15 more sacks this year. |

A Brown loss would be significant. End of season? Who knows? That match-up with Freeney isn't looking too good. I hope Jamaal is going to be alright. We'll see

Re: Jammal Brown hurt!!!!!!!!!!!!
Calm down. This is a team sport. If brown is out then we have to move on. This is what a championship TEAM is all about. Plugging in players when and where they are needed. I hope Bown is ok but if not so what. We still have 4 preseason games and 16 regular season games to go. Have faith in the teams depth.
Tickets are not for sale!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Re: Jammal Brown hurt!!!!!!!!!!!!
Brown has a bone bruise according to WWL nothing torn. That's the good news, the bad news is they don't know how long he is out.

Chicken Little
BREAKING NEWS: BROWN'S INJURY DIAGNOSED AS BRUISE; KNEE STRUCTURALLY INTACT
NewOrleansSaints.com has learned from Saints Executive Vice President/General Manager that Saints Pro Bowl left tackle Jammal Brown has suffered a bruised right knee. The results of an MRI taken this morning show that there is not any structural damage to his knee. The Saints are going through their afternoon practice and NewOrleansSaints.com will be in attendance following practice to speak to Saints head Coach Sean Payton. At this time, there is not a definitive period set forth as to how much time Brown is expected to miss, however the report is certainly a best-case scenario for the Saints. Check back later for a further update from NewOrleansSaints.com. |

Re: Jammal Brown hurt!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't think he was hurt to bad, I heard that there was no tear in his leg.

Re: Jammal Brown hurt!!!!!!!!!!!!
... imagine how the New England faithfull felt when their Pro-Bowl QB who had taken the team to a SB went down and a 6th round pick from Michigan took over.
.. imagine how the Green Bay faithful felt when their Pro-Bowl QB went down and a reject from Atlanta took over. ... imagine how the New Orleans faithful felt when their Pro-Bowl center left town and a Cleveland reject took over, or when their Pro-Bowl WR's hamstring rendered ineffective and a 7th Round pick from Hofsra took over ... oh, wait, you don't have to imagine that... ... see? The reality is that we don't know how Streif would respond should he suddently become the starter LT. He's looked good when he's been in there subbing for Brown. Maybe if he gets more reps with the stariting o-line.... .. so sure, it is a bad thing that jammal went down, but definitely not the end of the New Orleans Saints 2007 season. So stop the chicken little stuff. |

Re: Jammal Brown hurt!!!!!!!!!!!!
Saints Pro Bowl offensive tackle Jammal Brown suffered a bone bruise during the team's first practice of training camp Tuesday, according to team officials.
Brown collapsed to the field in obvious pain during a drill Tuesday morning, and had to be carted off the field. Team officials say there were no signs of torn or strained ligaments in Brown's injured knee. It is still unclear as to how long Brown will be out of the line up. Second year tackle Zach Strief and rookie Jermon Bushrod would take his place if Brown were to miss any playing time. |
