Delvin Breaux ahead of schedule (week 6 return?)
 

But since "injuries are no excuse" this probably isn't good news to some.:rolleyes:

But to the rest of us who don't live in clicheville, this is awesome!!!

Re: Delvin Breaux ahead of schedule (week 6 return?)
 

Yesterday the Saints snatched victory from the jaws of defeat, and now this!

Re: Delvin Breaux ahead of schedule (week 6 return?)
 

Nothing would make me happier. I'm pretty sure the Breaux injury singlehandedly derailed our season he's that important.

Re: Delvin Breaux ahead of schedule (week 6 return?)
 

Good to hear, will remain cautiously optimistic.

Re: Delvin Breaux ahead of schedule (week 6 return?)
 

Not just Breaux, but also Lewis, PJ Williams, Swann, Wilson, Kikaha, and Rankins.

They were all key players we were counting on to move our defense into the middle of the pack.

Did you say Cliche'? "Are you interested or are you Committed?" then again "It is what it is"

Re: Delvin Breaux ahead of schedule (week 6 return?)
 

Terrific news on Breaux ...

If I'm the Saints, I'd be extremely, extremely careful on when 1st rounder (Rankins) returns. Especially considering how much promise he has already displayed in training camp & future potential difference maker on D. Definitely want to be 100%.

Think long term for both DB and SR.

Re: Delvin Breaux ahead of schedule (week 6 return?)
 

We need both of these young fellas but we shouldn't rush them back. I'd rather have them play the rest of the season than rush them back a week ahead of time, just so they can reinjure themselves and miss more time.

Learn the Lesson of JJ Watt, Young Grasshopper.

Re: Delvin Breaux ahead of schedule (week 6 return?)
 

Cliches? Sounds like Breaux has "ants in his pants" to "put the past behind him." Injuries have been our "achilles heel," but let's not "tempt fate" and "count our chickens before they hatch." We've put the "cart before the horse" in the preseason but once we get healthy, we'll "have the whole enchilada." "Every dog has his day," and we'll make everyone "eat crow" soon enough.

"Hats off" to Breaux though, hope he "keeps his nose to the grindstone."

Re: Delvin Breaux ahead of schedule (week 6 return?)
 

We're just going to continue working hard, and trying to improve every week,
one game at a time. We just have to build on what we've done this week, and try to take it to the next level each and every week.

Re: Delvin Breaux ahead of schedule (week 6 return?)
 

I hope our pass rush returns at the same time.

Re: Delvin Breaux ahead of schedule (week 6 return?)
 

Re: Delvin Breaux ahead of schedule (week 6 return?)
 

do not rush him back. it is not worth the risk.

Re: Delvin Breaux ahead of schedule (week 6 return?)
 

It sure did with Ashley Ambrose.

Re: Delvin Breaux ahead of schedule (week 6 return?)
 

Nothing medical about the Saints organization is a good thing. I don't see how a broken leg can heal and the player be football ready after six weeks. Once the zone defense/let them run open and catch the dang ball was scrapped, the young secondary did a good job. That being said, Breaux is a difference maker. If he's cleared to and wants to play, have at it young man.

Re: Delvin Breaux ahead of schedule (week 6 return?)
 

Glad to hear Breaux is ahead of schedule but DON'T bring him back too soon.

Best to give him the time he needs to heal properly.

GEAUX SAINTS!!!

Re: Delvin Breaux ahead of schedule (week 6 return?)
 

Still, he won't be the same player until at least next year. Should we bring him back too early and risk re-injury or the possibility of ruining the rest of his career?

Re: Delvin Breaux ahead of schedule (week 6 return?)
 

It's not a soft tissue injury, it's a broken bone. If the bone is healed, then it's healed. In fact, when a broken bone heals it is actually thicker than before.

Re: Delvin Breaux ahead of schedule (week 6 return?)
 

He posted a video of himself running on a treadmill so it's definitely looking like he'll be good to go in a week or two.

Re: Delvin Breaux ahead of schedule (week 6 return?)
 

Being ahead of schedule doesn't mean we're rushing him back before he's ready.

How many of you are on the Saints medical team?

Re: Delvin Breaux ahead of schedule (week 6 return?)
 

Come back when your ready.

Re: Delvin Breaux ahead of schedule (week 6 return?)
 

True, while it is thicker & harder, it is also less flexible at first, which comes back with time...

And the Saints medical team has the Saints management compensating them, not Delvin Breaux...

If I were Del Breaux, I'd still get an independent medical opinion before coming back...

He can be primed for a major payday and that could evaporate quickly should he come back too soon and aggravate the injury...

Re: Delvin Breaux ahead of schedule (week 6 return?)
 

Running on the treadmill??? I really hope they don't botch this

Re: Delvin Breaux ahead of schedule (week 6 return?)
 

Unfortunately we've seen it happen many times where Players come back too soon.

Re: Delvin Breaux ahead of schedule (week 6 return?)
 

I think if there's anyone who knows about coming back from an injury it's Breaux. I trust his judgement.

Re: Delvin Breaux ahead of schedule (week 6 return?)
 

Ain't that the truth!!

Re: Delvin Breaux ahead of schedule (week 6 return?)
 

I don't know about single handed lay because of all the other injuries but we would have won the raiders game and probably the Giants and Falcons game. It shouldn't have to hinge on one player.

Re: Delvin Breaux ahead of schedule (week 6 return?)
 

Would agree that he could have been a difference maker in all games except that Falcons game where we were gashed by their running game...

But one player does not a team make and D.A. or his scheme still doesn't have the right front seven up front...

Looks like the light finally went off at Free Safety...

Re: Delvin Breaux ahead of schedule (week 6 return?)
 

a fracture or break' it heals faster if u pin i,t bolt it, or plate it but its the time of non weight baring that needs time to get back your muscles right that what you dont want to rush. i'm no dr. or trainer but i have broken a leg. if he could have continued working the leg without pressure thats a big advantage.

Re: Delvin Breaux ahead of schedule (week 6 return?)
 

That's what she said. :hump:
