Lance Moore could miss part of training camp (1 Viewer)

It would be terrible if he missed all of training camp, IMO. He's quoted in the story as saying his goal is to be ready to week 1.

Im lookin at it as a positive its more work for AA and Meach to get better

I just want him to get as much work in as possible before the season. If his first work is in week 1, he'll probably be way behind as far as contributing this year, but we'll see what happens.

This. These guys are our future playmakers, they need to step up given this opportunity.

i highly doubt it..Lance is a vet of Payton's system, he might be a little out of rhythm with the rest of the offense but if he's back by week 1 he should be fine by atleast week 4.. if this were the case for our younger recievers like AA or Meach it would be a completely different story

This will give both Arrington and Meachem an opportunity to show what they can (...or cannot do). Let's see how they progress through camp and preseason.

I doubt moore will be ready week 1..
He has the same injury brees originally had

Although he's not a QB.

This is fine. Lance can afford to miss part of TC. He's an intelligent player who knows the playbook and runs good routes. Important for him to get healthy. This could be a good thing. We could end up LOADED at WR.

Correct. Expect him to be practicing during training camp but be limited to no contact. If his strength is there and he has no set backs, I'd expect him to be a wk 1 starter.

And to all of those that blamed the S&C staff for his injury, how about this quote from him:

"I was doing extended squats and there wasn't a lot of weight,'' Moore said. "I lost control of it, the weight went back and my shoulder went forward and it popped out. It was one of those unfortunate things that happen.''

**it happens!!

I think Lance could easily get buried if Meach continues his improvement and AA picks up where he left off last year. The latter is assuming a lot, but I don't see Payton just inserting Lance in the lineup unless he's 100%.

Time for Meachem to step up!

 

[Saint Droopy]

Payton and Loomis are probably kicking each other in the nuggets for not trading Moore when they had the chance to... I've got a gut feeling that Meach and AA will render LM useless this season.

Sure Brees trusts Moore, but he's got an entire Summer to develop chemistry with these 2 guys.
