this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; I believe , it's a hyper-extention of a tendon or ligament in the foot . Usually requires some time to heal ....

Re: DT Thomas to Start, Clancy has Turf Toe
Dude, I've always preferred Thomas over Clancy. So, he's a bit heavier now... does that REALLY mean he's not going to be as effective? Really? Do we REALLY know that?
C'mon, man. That just means the OLs and RBs are going to have to have 25lbs MORE strength to move this guy out of the way. As I can remember, Thomas was VERY agile for his size. He may have slown down a bit because of the extra weight, but it still remains to be seen if its REALLY going to hurt his performance. Maybe I'm just too optimistic. |

Re: DT Thomas to Start, Clancy has Turf Toe
... Young is not as "shifty" as Vick, but he's fast.
And look, football is a very physical game, Before it requires "being smart", it requires being a physical freak. When it comes to football and playing in the NFL, no amount of mental prowess will ever compensate for athletic prowess. And football is not rocket science. Sure, some players are "smarter" than others when it comes to playing the game, but it is more instinct than anything else. |

Re: DT Thomas to Start, Clancy has Turf Toe
Why do you think Peyton Manning and Tom Brady are so much better than any other QB in the league? Not because they are "physical freaks" but because they have more football intelligence than anybody else.

You could be smart as a whip, you could memorize 1000 formations, hours of film, etc... but when the ball is snapped, and you got 1-2 seconds to react, how you react has litle to do with intelligence, it has to do with instinct. When the proverbial bullets start flying, there's a big gap between being prepared and being able to do and/or react. |

Re: DT Thomas to Start, Clancy has Turf Toe
Thomas does what he is suppose to do. Tie up two OL and if one is assigned to him he get penetration. Thats his job. Clancy is more of a gap splitter, just like Young. He is just a bit larger. Face the facts we do not have a DT that is a full time starter. We have a good platoon and thats it. Now if we can get one starting DT some how then we should be ok there. Rent a defense sux's. One day SOON we need to invest in a DT and stop using wrecks at DT.
