Kenny Vaccaro Placed on IR

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Say what you will of him, but losing him, especially with the playoffs right around the corner, doesn't make us better. This sucks. We keep losing key players at this rate and it'll be a very short postseason for us....

Re: Kenny Vaccaro Placed on IR

I really like KVac. I hope we resign him at a good price. Our luck with injuries is horrible. I haven't been too high on Bell lately but I still have a little faith. Bush is no punk either. This injury sucks but it could have happened at a worse position like another defensive lineman. We can weather this storm.

Re: Kenny Vaccaro Placed on IR

I was just listening to John Clayton on NFL Radio and he mentioned Vacarro's trip to IR. He said Vacarro is something like the 276th player to go on IR so far this season. That is up almost 7% from the previous high.

That is more players on IR than six full game day rosters!

It isn't just the Saints. It is across the entire league. It is unreal.

Maybe it's got something to do with the league policies on the number of practices and pads and contact?

I honestly am not qualified to know, and I am not going to do any research on the nature of the injuries around the league. It's just my opinion from 30 thousand feet...

Thursday games is one of the reasons...

And we may need better strength and conditioning coaches.

Re: Kenny Vaccaro Placed on IR

It's the lack of physical year-round training; the history is there to support what I'm saying...

You can see a dramatic rise in injuries correlated to the reduction of year-round physical work, contact mandated by the CBA...

Now this comes to light, maybe people will re-evaluate their position and opinion on the guy - sucks for him because he's in a contract year...

Though I don't think the Saints ever really seriously considered extending him with any serious money with the coming extensions next year...

Wonder if Delvin Breaux could play some safety as he's a restricted free agent?

I think we may have seen the last of Kenny in the black and gold.
Well that might explain his subpar performances. Can't question his toughness.

If we are not meant to go far, it's best not to abuse our turn this season.

I’m gonna need a translation. What does this mean? It’s probably just me.
