Kenny Vaccaro Placed on IR
 

I think we may have seen the last of Kenny in the black and gold.

Double post. My fault Chris.

Mods please delete my post on Kenny V.

You might be right... Gives us a chance for further evaluation of our depth.

Probably explains why Sterling Moore was brought back.

Personally I feel like Vaccaro and Vonn Bell are pretty interchangeable... Same positives and negatives. Now we’ll see if we can move forward with Bell as our SS after this season.

Now is not the time for evaluation.

Damn. May explain some things, like why he had trouble covering and got so many flags.

Re: Kenny Vaccaro Placed on IR
 
Yea. He hasnt looked great since the first half of the season. He always hits hard and plays aggressive but he actually looked fast early in the season. I say why not bring him back? He's not worth a ton to trade plus he'll end up with the Panthers or Falcons and yuk.

The Dude 12-21-2017 02:51 PM

Re: Kenny Vaccaro Placed on IR
 
He’s been dealing with a groin since mid season. He was stellar before

Re: Kenny Vaccaro Placed on IR
 
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.

jeanpierre 12-21-2017 05:21 PM

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?

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.

really can’t afford anyone else getting hurt...

Re: Kenny Vaccaro Placed on IR
 
I know in real life this will never happen, but perhaps shortening the preseason to 3 games and regular season to 14 could be a solution. Several teams, including the Saints, look rather sluggish lately. Guys are just too beat up at this point of the season.

Yep, we'll be fine. We have good depth with Bush, Bell & Banjo.

I'm more concerned about our depth at LB. Losing Klein will hurt.

Re: Kenny Vaccaro Placed on IR
 
So let me get this straight.

An injury this year makes you forget that KV has only avoided the bust label because everyone on this defense not wearing 94 has been garbage, coached by garbage, for years.

Hell yeah then!

Sign him to a huge deal now before every other team looking for a slow, dim witted, undisciplined penalty machine comes to town to break the bank!

This whole, he got hurt, so now we rewrite history to portray him as a hero crap is asinine.

Re: Kenny Vaccaro Placed on IR
 
I’m not as concerned about losing Vaccaro. If it is his last season I hope it ends with a championship

Nope. Not just you. It is more of his usually gibberish.

Re: Kenny Vaccaro Placed on IR
 
Losing Vaccaro will definitely have an impact. You kinda have to take the good with bad with him, penalty wise, but there is more good.

NFL has played a 16 game season since 1978, for years with no BYE, and had a lower injury frequency then than what it is now...

In fact, orthopedic medicine has advanced light years ahead of where it was since 1978 prolonging, saving careers...

Totally support the precautions with the head injuries and long term CTE effects; baffled though with NFL money, they can't come up with helmet technology...

But since the players decided via the CBA to get soft in the off-season, you've seen this pussification of the league up and down...

With the revenue that's there, the players should get their due, but not if they don't play - no play, no pay for the big three sports...

Eliminate guaranteed monies, no more dead cap money, and you'll see the game get tougher, and the players will follow suit...

Re: Kenny Vaccaro Placed on IR
 
yay!!!, glad they are taking his injury seriously. but to be honest, his penalty problems were established well before the injury bug i believe.



hope he heals well though

Use P.J. Williams in his role and keep plugging away. Robertson and Te’o will be fine. We can still do the three safety sets.
