SP just says they banged knees, done it before and its one of them injuries that sends your entire leg numb and hurts for half hour or so lol

If SP says butler will be fine then ill believe him

Re: Scary news - Victor Butler dinged up today
 

Hoping that is all it is - sounds like it could have been MUCH worse...

May get a better idea when we see how much he's held out after this.

Ingram kicks Butler's ass without Ivory looking on. What could this mean?

Re: Scary news - Victor Butler dinged up today
 

Speaking of being held out;

Meanwhile, tight end Benjamin Watson, cornerback Ryan Steed, offensive lineman Terron Armstead, safety Roman Harper and cornerback Patrick Robinson all sat out today’s practice. Linebacker Rufus Johnson also missed.

Didn't Ryan lose half his team last year? I hope this isn't a sign of things to come.

If Payton says he's alright.............then I'm really scared. He never releases any information to the public. :roll:

Every time someone is "alright" they end up having sports hernia surgery...

No panic intended - just reporting the news.

Panic would be "Bulter injured! Season over!"

I'd love to see Butler, Wilson, Vilma or Lofton, and Galette on the field at the same time. Unleash Butler, Wilson, and Galette on the QB or at least create the impression that's going to happen.

Damn it please don't start with the injurys

Re: Scary news - Victor Butler dinged up today
 

Oh well, maybe next year.

Saints lose Victor Butler to torn ACL | ProFootballTalk

Saints lose Victor Butler to torn ACL

The New Orleans Saints have suffered a significant loss during Organized Team Activities.

Larry Holder of the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports that outside linebacker Victor Butler tore his ACL during Tuesday’s OTA session.

Butler had to be helped off the field after a collision with running back Mark Ingram in what was supposed to be a non-contact practice. Saints coach Sean Payton said afterward that he thought the team dodged a bullet and that Butler was not badly hurt, but apparently an MRI showed otherwise.

A 2009 fourth-round pick of the Cowboys, Butler has played his entire NFL career in Dallas but signed with the Saints this year. He was already familiar with the defense run by new Saints coordinator Rob Ryan and was expected to be a starter. Now he is expected to spend the season on injured reserve.

Now let's have a "peppy post contest"! :(

Called that one.

Screw the Hitchhikers Guide - I am in panic mode

Re: Scary news - Victor Butler dinged up today
 

Anyone want to reassess their call for no panic?????

Time for Jr and Martez to step it up...

Re: Scary news - Victor Butler dinged up today
 

It is one of my pet peeves when coaches give out bad info like this. I understand they may not want to give out everything they know, or they might not know the full extent of something immediately, but if either of those is the case they should just say that. I really dislike when they say it isn't a big deal and then the very next day...oh yeah, dude is on the IR and may not play this season.

Re: Scary news - Victor Butler dinged up today
 

Keep'em guessing. The fans wanna know, the media wants to make it up, but the other thirty-one don't need to know nothin'!

Re: Scary news - Victor Butler dinged up today
 

If any of you wanna panic because we lost 1 player, go ahead.

I'm not even close to panic mode.

Just put on your big girl panties, hide and wait for me to tell you when to panic.

"You ain't got no problem, Jules. I'm on the mother...... Go back in there, chill them fans out and wait for the Wolf who should be coming directly.

Re: Scary news - Victor Butler dinged up today
 

I'm just amazed that mentioning bad news - which it was when it was "banged knees" - equates to someone hitting the panic button or wearing women's underwear.

Nowhere did I say this meant anything more than next man up. Hurts to lose Butler, but gives a young guy an opportunity to shine...

Re: Scary news - Victor Butler dinged up today
 

Wasn't targeting you specifically, but there's a tendency here to grossly over-react to every stubbed toe or tweaked ankle by any player at practice.

Re: Scary news - Victor Butler dinged up today
 

Its not bad now..
Wait until Drew throws his first interception of the year.
Our safety gets burned.

Panic looms behind every key stroke
