Erik Harris out for season (1 Viewer)

[DaveXA]

Lmao, we can't even get healthy during the bye week.

Guy finally makes it in the NFL and he gets hurt four games in.

Jesus.

I know every team has injuries, but this is an awful lot in one position area:

Sanford
Lewis
Wilson
Swann
Breaux
Williams
Harris

Good lord.

 

[SuperSaint]

People can believe whatever they want.

I think that the reduced amount of offseason work in OTA's and training camp has led to this, players just aren't as physically ready to play anymore and they have less muscle memory due to fewer reps in pads.

Only remembered by him messing up against Atlanta, killed momentum and pretty much lost us that game.

What's more likely...all of these injuries occurring completely random, or perhaps these injuries aren't random at all. Occum's razor would suggest the latter. Was moving training camp away from New Orleans enough to anger the football gods and/or a voodoo queen Saints fan? Perhaps Payton's ex-wife spawned the curse because of the obvious. Could be coincidental...but boy the Saints have dropped off after going to camp there. I don't blame people for trying to blame the mystical. It's hard to comprehend this teams descent and even more difficult to see these injuries pile up on the weekly basis.

The only thing more odd about the number of injuries to our secondary is that somehow, someway Jarius Byrd has remained healthy.

Definitely the problem with our injury situation- no other team has this many injuries at such a concentrated and critical position group. Add Rankins, Kikaha and Elerbe- that's quite a tally of projected starters. And, ironically, because of our past struggles on defense, no one on the nation scene has made any mention of it.

Wrong Harris. You are thinking Davante Harris. He is the one that ran into Tommy Lee Lewis.

 

[saintsfannca]

Bring back Pierre Warren.

not sure why so many people downvoted this??

he must have had lockerroom problems, because he was easily our best DB when he was on the team.

Didn't he have like 4 takeaways in 3 games? 2 INTS in one game. Not to mention he was the one making all the turnovers in practice... Par for the course for our team to cut somebody who was actually contributing on defense


EDIT
just read after we let him go and he was signed by some no-name team in Canada, he informed their GM he no longer wanted to pursue a football career. He must have had issues before the Saints, because he was the best player we had in TC that year, and intially almost didn't make the PS. Then we reluctantly signed him when we had injuries and he was amazing. Sad really, he was a great safety

Our old friend Marcus Ball just got cut from the Panthers' PS if we'd like to continue to scrape the bottom of the barrel.

Do we even have a choice? Bottom of the barrel is looking better all the time.

This. I've never seen a year like this.

 

[Hey BAY BAY!!!]

Draft Jabrill Peppers.....

 

[Eman5805]

Draft Jabrill Peppers.....

Harris getting hurt now wasn't some freeing circumstance.

You could draft Peppers no matter who was healthy or hurt. He's going to be something. Not sure what. But it'll probably be considerable.

He was a natural ball-hawk and the best one we've had since Sharper. I'm not sure why other teams didn't pick him up, and it can't be his size because he's bigger than Vonn Bell.
He must have just decided to walk away from football recently because according to his Instagram page, he still wanted to play.

 

[bobad]

Drew doesnt mess around. Brutal.

Maybe he shouldn't be firing photon torpedoes in practice.

All the best to Eric, hope he heals well.

Hey Breaux, know any more prospects?
