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. |

Re: Jammal Brown hurt!!!!!!!!!!!!
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

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!!!!!!!!!!!!
![]() 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. |

Re: Jammal Brown hurt!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you God! Brees is the number one guy that needs to stay healthy. I'm sure he feels a lot better that Brown will be able to be there for him...I know I would. I don't mind if we lose in the pre-season. I just want us to have a healthy season. If we stay healthy at our key positions, we will have a great chance at a championship run this year and next.

Re: Jammal Brown hurt!!!!!!!!!!!!
from New Orleans Saints - 404
Payton added that Brown could be back on the field in as little as two or three days and did not completely rule out the chance that Drew Brees' blind-side protector could be in the lineup for Friday night's preseason home opener against Buffalo. |
