Having those two guys back on the field again will be nice. Now if only we can get Browner OFF the field...

Jeff Ireland knows this guy is a player, we've got to find a way to get him healthy and keep him that way...

Need them back. DESPERATELY

Re: New Orleans Saints LB Dannell Ellerbe back at practice Wednesday
 

I don't understand. The article says that he returned to practice. Then says "update" - that he never returned and was listed as out. Wtf?

Re: New Orleans Saints LB Dannell Ellerbe back at practice Wednesday
 

He probably got hurt by those camera flashes during media viewing period.

Re: New Orleans Saints LB Dannell Ellerbe back at practice Wednesday
 

If he could just stay healthy our LB'ers would be much improved. He's the real deal.

Re: New Orleans Saints LB Dannell Ellerbe back at practice Wednesday
 

Yeah I've noticed a definite difference (for the better) when Ellerbe is on the field. He's a stud. Hope he can stay that way!!

Re: New Orleans Saints LB Dannell Ellerbe back at practice Wednesday
 

Kikaha, Anthony and Ellerbe have been playing their hearts out.
They haven't gotten any help.
I hope they can stay healthy so we can build around them.
Nice core in the middle.
They need help in front of them and behind them.

Re: New Orleans Saints LB Dannell Ellerbe back at practice Wednesday
 

Really we just need Keenan Lewis to get fully healthy as well as Ellerbe. A back seven like this could be phenomenal:

WLB- Ellerbe
MLB- Anthony
SLB- Kikaha

CB1- Lewis
CB2- Breaux
FS- Byrd
SS- Vacarro

If we could finally see that mythical group of starters playing together then the weak link is definitely the D-Line. We need a pass rushing DT so desperately bad. How many of our defensive woes would be solved by a disruptive 3-Technique?!

Re: New Orleans Saints LB Dannell Ellerbe back at practice Wednesday
 

True, for many years all we had were 3-tech DT's and no one capable of playing the 2-gap DT.

Hicks was supposed to be that 3-4 DE, 4-3 2-gapper that we really needed.

His regression really hurt us this year. I truly thought he'd be that guy on the D-line. I was so wrong. Looked like Tarzan, played like Jane.

Also, losing Glenn Foster really hurt us as well. He looked to be a very promising 3-tech DT. I think he was the was the reason we let Tom Johnson go, then Foster gets hurt and goes on IR. Argghhh!

Just bad luck I guess.

Swann is still a huge concern IMO. His playing time minizes the troubles Browner can get into. Ok there is no stopping him but minimizing is a good thing.
