Obum Gwacham placed on IR
 

From Rotoworld

Saints placed DE Obum Gwacham (undisclosed) on injured reserve.
Newly-signed OT Khalif Barnes will take his spot on the active roster. Gwacham hasn't played a snap yet this season. It's unclear what's ailing him.

Looks like they're gonna need a bigger whirlpool.

We might as well put the whole team on IR; this is getting to be horrendous! :doh:

Payton saving his job with the ol' Adrian Arrington IR squad.

Re: Obum Gwacham placed on IR
 

Sure why not?

Re: Obum Gwacham placed on IR
 

Oh good grief, what the hell did we do to piss off the football gods?

Re: Obum Gwacham placed on IR
 

Believed in the training camp hype.

Re: Obum Gwacham placed on IR
 

I don't know how this didnt happen sooner, in training camp this guy was penciled in as the day one starter and he hasn't played a regular season snap this year at all...

Re: Obum Gwacham placed on IR
 

I thought Paul Kruger took his place, it may actually be the other way around.

Re: Obum Gwacham placed on IR
 

Did any of ya'll hear the one about a healthy Saints defense?

Don't worry, no one else did either.

Re: Obum Gwacham placed on IR
 

Probably a hang nail or a paper cut. Lol. All I can do is laugh. I'm not expecting a whole lot from the team anymore. It's completely torn apart by injuries.

Re: Obum Gwacham placed on IR
 

Man..if we got compensatory picks for how many are on IR, there wouldnt be any left for anyone else..lol

Will it ever end ?

I do remember seasons where I've thought to myself, while reading about the massive amount of injuries a team has faced, that the Saints have been lucky to only suffer a couple of injuries.

Well, it seems this season the Saints are having one of those years that at least one of two teams seem to have every season.

How many offensive linemen did the Chargers use last season?!


It all balances out in the end...

Re: Obum Gwacham placed on IR
 

But but but... if we lost every starter, we should still be 4-0. Remember, injuries are no excuse. All of our back-ups should be just as good as our starters.

We should be able to sign 53 players off the street and still be competitive.
There's no difference between Brees and McCown
There's no difference between Vaccaro and Harper
There's no difference between Breaux and DeVante Harris
There's no difference between Davison and Jenkins
There's no difference between Armstead and Peat
There's no difference between Snead and Coleman
There's no difference between Ellerbe and WTF his name is
There's no difference between KLewis and Webb
There's no difference between Josh Hill and Hoomanawanui

Injuries don't matter.

Re: Obum Gwacham placed on IR
 

Actually I would take Robertson over ellerbe all day long.

Re: Obum Gwacham placed on IR
 

I give you a thumbs up on Robertson starting; I'd also put Anthony back in the middle ahead of Laurinaitis...

Re: Obum Gwacham placed on IR
 

Ellerbe did look really good in the preseason... very fast to the ball, which is something the LB corps really lacks at the moment.

Re: Obum Gwacham placed on IR
 

And they gonna continue to miss it since he can't make it 1 game without hurting something.

Re: Obum Gwacham placed on IR
 

Elerby is very good when he is not hurt. Which is never.

Re: Obum Gwacham placed on IR
 

Did anyone except him to even play anyway

Re: Obum Gwacham placed on IR
 

I thought they would sign Dee Milliner

Re: Obum Gwacham placed on IR
 

Ellerbe is the defense's version of Chris Ivory

A game changer but he's never healthy.
