seriously...is ivory made of glass? the guy cant finish a game. 3 injuries in the first half is really frustrating. i love ivory but dont understand how he can get hurt so much. i know people like to say because he runs so hard but he got hurt on a play that wasnt even hard. what us the f ing problem?!?!

Ivory plays alot like Shockey. Lots of heart and punishes defenses, but puts a toll on his body. He can be coached out of that. But man it does seem like he gets hurt every time he touches the ball.

Graham's TD gave the Saints their only lead at 7-3 in the first quarter, but he left favoring his left ankle and did not return to a Saints squad that came in with only two tight ends in uniform; Jeremy Shockey (groin) and David Thomas (right knee) were inactive.

The Saints also played most of the game without starting free safety Malcolm Jenkins and leading rusher Chris Ivory. Jenkins hurt his right knee on the first defensive series while tackling Blount along the sideline. Ivory had a left foot injury in the first half.

The MJ Knee Injury looked like it was hit by the Runners Knee. Probably a Bruise...hopefully

Its football. PT was injured in practice, and every player we have could also.

If we hadn't played them and came out flat next week everyone would be complaining that they should have played at least a half to stay in rhythm.

We have a fragile team, especially at RB. I'll take Michael Turner over any of the glass RB's we now have. Look for the Saints to draft a RB high this year.

X2 We have needed a big power back. Like every since Duece blew out his knees!!

Hamilton was that back until injuries sidelined him this year...

He runs as if he's 245lbs when he 's only a hair over 220, I get it, he has heart but that heart isn't helping anyone out when it's sitting on the sidlelines. We need a run attack right now. If we can't figure it out next week it's going to be a short second season. Brees is good but he can't pull rabbits out of his hat every freakin play. Bush if you are reading this, RUN FORWARD and forward only. No going left or right. Get the ball and go straight ahead with authority.

PT will want to shine during the playoffs to better his chances of getting paid.

I think Sean Payton did precautionary sit-outs for these players, there was no reason to play them a full game.
