Re: Saints place three on PUP?
 

Hey, guys I've got a great idea for the league! Let's have fewer practices in pads, more offseason workouts without pads, let's make it less like the actual games and the way players are trained to play, let's limit the practicing in pads so fewer people will get hurt! It not like players need pads to protect their knees, ACL's, groins and hips when they're out there just practicing, right? RIGHT?

Harper is the interesting one.

Didn't he have a hernia or groin pull a couple years back?

Re: Saints place three on PUP?
 

I think Harper has a case of "they drafted a younger, better player" he's dealing with...

Re: Saints place three on PUP?
 

Robinson is the only one that we need to get healthy and play. Abdul-Quddus and Bush played better than Jenkins and Harper IMO last year so having Vaccaro, Jenkins, Abdul-Quddus and Bush is a solid set of safeties and having Harper in there will add depth. It just looks like we will run 2 corners and 3 safeties instead of the other way around on passing packages.

Re: Saints place three on PUP?
 

Not a problem; Vacarro and Jenkins both played corner in college, and didn't White play both as well?

WOW already.

Re: Saints place three on PUP?
 

We appear to have fragile players on our team and that concerns me going into this season. If we don't win week 1, I'm predicting Car to win the division. Its going to be close between us, panthers, and falcons. And if we don't win week 1 we have to win week 5.

Re: Saints place three on PUP?
 

Every team deals with it; you just don't hear about it as much because you're more in tune with the Saints.

It could always be worse; just look at what the Patriots are going through. Or the Cowboys; I believe they've already lost two defensive starters to IR

Re: Saints place three on PUP?
 

Maybe Sean Payton is just playing it safe so that these guys can heal instead of aggravating an existing injury. Maybe their injuries aren't really that bad. Let's hope. In the mean time, I'm looking forward to Vaccaro getting as much experience as humanly possible (without getting hurt of course).
