Saints put LT BRown on IR

Ugh. Maybe we can bring him back for the postseason if we earn a playoff berth and he is 100%.

Hmmm isnt there someone we can sign?...Levi Jones....anybody for depth..we did resign..Nick Lechey i think...

Scratch that, I don't think league rules allow us to take a player off IR for postseason.

Doubt if he could have been the same player this year.

maybe they learnt something from shockeys injury last year and just decided to pull the plug.

With the double surgery it would have been tough for him to come back this year especially needing your lower body strength for blocking.

not good....bushrod played terribly and strief is a solid backup...not a starter

Horrible news, but the Saints should be able to pull through it.

To be completely honest with you, I think the Saints are going to be alright. It sucks losing Brown, but Bushrod has played well in his absence and we're 3-0. Not to mention he's already faced two good pass rushers (Schobel and Cole) and fared pretty well. This is a good team, and far more balanced than we've been in maybe 10 years.

I'm with you on Bushrod, Deuce ... but we need to bring someone in. Who's available or did we cut anyone who's worth anything?
