Saints place TE David Thomas on IR

probably our most secret of weapons. He's a hell of a player, and
this is a bigger loss than anyone knows.

Exactly my thoughts!

He is the best blocker out of the whole receiving corps by a mile.

I wouldn't go that far. We have some excellent blocking WR's on this team.

Agreed. There is no coinciden't that he is on the field when we run the ball effectivly.

My thoughts exactly, that is something that was very obvious immediately after he came back from the previous injury - they started to run the ball a lot better with him on the field, and, furthermore, he doesn't seem to get called for penalties when he is blocking like some other receivers seem to on a fairly regular basis.

Is this official? Has Payton made the announcement? Who will step up? Does John Gilmore fill in that gap? This is huge for Saints running game.

NFL.com - New Orleans Saints roster has him in Injured Reserve! And they have Mike Higgings rookie from Nebraska activated! Guess I answered my own questions.
