Hawthorne/Casillas ruled out for Packers
 

Saints WLB David Hawthorne (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 4.

Hawthorne pulled his hamstring in the first half of last week's loss to the Chiefs. Hawthorne's backup Jonathan Casillas (neck) has also been ruled out, leaving the Saints with a depleted LB corps of just Curtis Lofton, Scott Shanle, Will Herring and Barrett Ruud. Ramon Humber is eligible to return after serving a three-game NFL suspension, however, and could be activated as late as Saturday.

is there something we do wrong with players we bring in on defense

Hawthorne was a great player with the hawks, gets here....injured
Chris Chamberlain.....injured

we just can't catch a break
That being said, I like Humber - He always seems to make big hits on RB's when he plays

I literally JUST made a post about this very issue in another thread reg. our defensive evaluators. I'm wondering who is giving the green light to bring some of these dudes in. And I know that Hawthorne really did look very good last year, and you can't foresee injuries like his, but that sure doesn't cover all the people we've brought in over the past few seasons, and there have been more than a few.

Honestly ere not much of a drop off from our 1st string to our 4 th string defensive guys. We will still look the same. Don't let this scare you

Not our scouts...training department. They blow

Re: Hawthorne/Casillas ruled out for Packers
 

Lofton is doing good. Guess we are running with him, Humber and................Shanle this week. If Vilma was not going to be suspended again I would be happy with him, Lofton and Humber.

Sad but true

Heck, it can't get much worse. Maybe Ruud, Herring & Humber getting a little more PT will help somehow ...




... now where'd I put that crack pipe?
