But we need him too much to wait that long for the packers or panthers. There's still a few weeks of preseason you know? It's not like week 1 is tomorrow. Plus there's rehab and medicine and training.
You worry too much. |

Re: Lofton says he will be back week one
Lofton might have just thought he twisted it and could walk it off, some injuries get worse when you stop doing activities
Not saying that I know what an NFL injury is like, but 2 Seasons ago playing for the Nottingham Caesars at free safety, In training I tackled an RB in a one on one drill and landed funny on my shoulder At that point it felt like i'd just hit a funny bone and it would wear off, after a couple more hits it felt a little worse So I took my pads off and 15 minutes later, I could not lift the whole of my arm, turns out i did the ligaments in my shoulder in Just saying, that injury didn't get real bad until I actually stopped for about 15 mins |

Re: Lofton says he will be back week one
It takes a lot to get an athlete to leave the field.

We can't be the saints of last year. We have to stop putting all the pressure on drew brees and the offense(brees is already under pressure since he has to be a coach on the field). Our defense needs to catch up. By the time lofton is back for the packers or panthers, the offense we'll already be too far ahead for us to have a balance and then we look like last year(ie a defense that can get beat by alex smith). No more Brees carrying us anymore. Everyone needs to be ready for week 1. And he's quite capable of being 100% if he can play for 25 snaps then rest for 3 weeks. In a lot of situations, stop playing can actually make it WORSE. |

Re: Lofton says he will be back week one
I love the fact that he is saying he'll be ready- taped, shot up, whatever. The guy wants to be here and wants to be on the field. I'd bet he'd play this week if they let him.
