    Injuries are part and parcel of the game of Football. Like touchdowns, penalties, transactions and turnovers, they happen and are dealt with accordingly. Wide-ranging from a hamstring strain to the dreaded high ankle sprain, a pulled groin to a torn ACL, an opportunity lost for one player becomes an opportunity gained for another. Those players who find themselves on the more unfortunate side of the swinging pendulum can ensure they are not forgotten by putting in the long, daunting hours of rehabilitation inside the four walls of the treatment room as their healthy teammates take to the field to do what they love; play football.

    Victor Butler is the guy I see making the biggest impact.

    Morgan, could be a 4th WR

    P.Rob is promising, but with Champ now on board I doubt he beats him out of a starting spot... maybe next year.

    I see Victor Butler making a name for himself on this defense. Of the three you listed I feel he has the best chance to make a difference with this defense. Even if he don't shine like a supernova this year I feel the Saints will extend him a year to see if he is fully healed. The others, I believe, will have to contribute mightily to stay on the team after this year. That is if they make it through camp. Robinson is lucky that his contract this year was not higher or he would have been shown the door. If I understand correctly, Rob likes his corners to play press man and that is his weakness. He is a better zone corner. Cory White is a better press corner but is horrible in zone coverage. Joe Morgan is nothing but hype and injuries. I think they held on to him after his dwi so help him with treatment. He may not even make the cut during TC. The two tall rookies are turning heads and could push Morgan out the door. I wasn't so sure about that earlier because of all the pundits saying that the two rookies, can't spell their names so I call them the two tall rookies, wasn't catching the ball during the OTA's but apparently they pulled a Colston and improved their skills during the time between the OTA's and training camp. One more week folks till football.

    wr battle is the one to watch. coleman is having a nice camp and toon is really standing out but he's got to translate it to the field in a game setting.

    yep. Toon was a camp beast last season but was horrible during the time he was on the field during the regular season. we need Toon and Coleman to step up if they make the 53.

    I personally like those games. you get to see more of the backups playing and you get a better feel of what our depth would be.

    Love that video. teams are going to have to play a deep shell and Jimmy will eat that up. Play tight coverage to take that away and watch Cooks do that. Can't wait.
