Opening statement/ Injury report: “Today at practice we had Turk McBride, left ankle, did not practice. He is out for the game. David Hawthorne, right hamstring, did not practice, he’s out. Travaris Cadet, right shoulder, did not practice, he’s out. Lance Moore, right hamstring, did not practice, he’s out. Jonathan Casillas was limited, he’s questionable. Roman Harper, limited, he’s questionable. Joe Morgan, knee, was limited and he’s questionable.”

How do you plan to attack a stout San Diego defense?

“I think we have to mix it up and we have to keep balanced. If you watch teams on tape, they’re running the ball and there’s times where they are not gaining yards. We just need to stay with it and continue to crack at that running game and then do what we always do, have a good passing game.”

How does having Lance Moore out for Sunday affect the offense’s gameplan?

“We hope the other guys step up to be honest. We will change some formations, we’ll change some plays to enable us to use the guys that we have. It’s an every week thing. You lose a guy, you have to adjust and use some other players to fill in for him although it’s hard to replace him. We’ll do the best we can with that.”

What has stunted Mark Ingram’s development so far?

“I had said earlier in this week that Mark didn’t have a very good offseason because he was injured. He was in doing rehab while we were practicing plays and then in training camp he was still limited so he didn’t get the reps that he needed. It was a slow start for him this season and it’s showing up on the field. He needs to keep working and get to a point where he is ready to run the ball and he has more production.”

How the hell did Cadet get injured? Jeez another injury prone practice player. Lance and Morgan kind of scare me. That kind of limits Brees passing options. He needs all he can get going after this record, and the win.

Wow.

Just wow.

Too many 60-minute games for us thus far. Seriously.

Yeah so keep putting Ingram in and gaining those 2 yards and losing instead of activating Ivory and get this damn thing going.

Insanity is continuing to do the same thing and expecting a different result Aaron.

Ingram gets TWO except when we need just ONE.

I'm bummed about it too, so don't worry. I hate riding the man. I wish he was feared. That way Drew could easily complete his passes.

Looking back, maybe Reggie Bush was causing indecision in opposing defenses...?
