Chris Ivory done for the season

01-04-2011, 06:25 PM

Serious blow to the Saints, especially with PT still hobbling around. This could turn out to be the kill shot for this season. Hard to believe the Saints have been unable to keep one RB healthy this year. RB position has just escalated to a position of need this offseason.

Scratch him off your playoff league cheat sheets and upgrade Pierre Thomas. The Saints never updated Ivory's condition after he was spotted on crutches Sunday night, but it's obviously a long-term injury. Ivory's loss is a considerable one for New Orleans. The rookie had given the offense its first legitimate between-the-tackles chain mover since Deuce McAllister's prime. With Thomas (ankle) and Marques Colston (knee scope) also banged up, the Saints have serious injury concerns heading into the playoffs. Jan. 4 - 4:22 pm et

Still waiting for an official link.

This is NOT good news, but certainly not the end of the world. If PT wants that big contract, well, the ball is in his court, it's up to him now.

It's hard for the next man step up when he's still in his street clothes. Wynn probably won't even have a playbook yet. At least he is familiar with the system......anyway, why did we cut him?

it really aggrevates me when people question why the coaches played him. its freaking football. if you cant stay healthy for more than one game at a time you have to go. he is a waste of a roster spot. yes he is good but he is worth nothing if he plays one game and then sits out 3 or 4. the rb position has become a real weakness on our team. PT is good but not a feature back type. reggie is no way close to a feature back. ivory cant play a full game so a whole season is out the question. dont be surprised if we draft one in round 2 or 3. man i wish we would have grabbed blount when he was floating around. he would have been perfect with PT.

Very sad now, because apparently the Saints' coaching staff were the only ones who didn't realize that the Falcons were going to maul the Panthers, thus making the Bucs game totally irrelevant.

I wish the Saints had grabbed LT when Drew Brees first mentioned it on Twitter. It was discarded at the time as a bad idea, but that was when Lynell Hamilton was going to take over the duties that Mike Bell left behind. Then both Bush and Thomas got injured badly and missed most of the season. It would have been nice to pick up LT when they had the chance.
