As a Saints fan, I think Deuce\'s injury is very misfortunate. When any team lines up against us, they know that Deuce can burn them if he gets a hole, and that part of our offense is out for the next 4 games at best.

The character of this team will be tested in the coming weeks and everybody will have to fill the gap. Whether you think Deuce`s contributions lately have been up to our expectations or not, our potential to have a strong running game has now fell in the \"I doubt it\" catagory. I can\'t really see any blessing or silver lining over Duece\'s injury, unless it\'s a total combined team effort by both offense and defense, special teams, and by each and every player, to make a conscience effort to play 4 quarters of mistake-free football.

If we can stop these stupid penalties like \"false starts\" and \"running into the kicker\", if our defense can shut down somebody`s running game, if the same Brooks keeps showing up that showed up last week, if our receivers can continue to keep actually catching the ball, if our O-line starts making holes........ then when Deuce gets back, I will push my sister-n-law off the terrace level to land on Deuce as he enters the dome.
