If Deuce is out...........

JOESAM2002 · 09-25-2007, 01:56 PM

for the season. What about signing somebody like Cory Dillon?

I'm fine with Bush starting with Stecker and Thomas relieving. Stecker has shown in the past the capable of starting when needed and lots of fans like what they've seen in Thomas.

I'll pass on Corey Dillon. We couldn't move the ball with Deuce back there... Dillon is older and slower.

I'm glad somebody has been watching the game.

If Duece is done then someone else will have to step it up. These guys are professionals. They get paid to be ready...and now its time. Perhaps the fall of the Duece willl be a rallying cry for the rest of the guys to suck it up and play with some heart: begin to make some plays.

Can anyone say Darren McFadden?

ESPN - McAllister says MRI shows torn knee ligaments - NFL

Here is some salt for the wound... A sad day. And let the speculation continue.

as as replacements, how bout Payton pulls a trade for one of his old "boys". Marion Barber seems to entrenched as Dallas's starting running back and I hear Julius Jones is unhappy right now with them. Maybe offer a second round pick for him. Dont know how much left on his contract with Dallas. If not much, then the offer could be less of a pick. anyone knows how long Deuce has left on his current contract? If near over, that could influence a deal. here is his NFL player page:
Julius Jones

The Saints wouldn't improve even if they had Tomlinson and Chad Johnson be we're terrible up front of offense, they must correct the problem but it will take more than two weeks to correct it, if it can be correct at all this year..
I still have hope that something good will happen for the Saints soon..

I'm an Ole Miss fan. Deuce was injured of and on when he was there. I kept hoping for the best but knew that sooner or later it'd catch up with him. Sucks because, he's a good guy and a great player when he's healthy.

That being said, we need another banger. A guy I like a lot is Jacob Hester of LSU. Has good speed, always is moving forward and has good hands. Good blocker as well. Has the mentality you look for as well. We won't have to spend a first round pick to get him either.

I hear ya bro. It's hell being a Saint and Tiger fan...ain't it. Makes you wish you could put the Purple and Gold in Black and Gold.
