Jeez...

rough bye week. Hope Evans will be good to go. The offensive line is coming apart at the seams.

We need him badly. Remi has been ok, but we can’t afford to go long with Clancy. I’m not too worried about Jahri. Turf toe can be debilitating, but he’s an interior lineman. He’ll be fine to go I’m sure.

I'm not a doctor,

but something called “turf toe” doesn’t sound like it should be so difficult to work through. I remember that’s what ended one of Ricky Williams’ early years with the Saints a few weeks into the season. I just think they need a more grave sounding name for that injury. Because, for a couple million dollar contract, I say, cut the damn turf toe off, and get back on the field.

Turf toe

is what ended Heath Shuler’s CAREER. Well, a severe case of it. Coupled with very little talent.

Turf Toe

is like one of the most painful foot injuries. way worse than eli’s “plantar faciitis”. Turf Toe is basically a dislocated toe that like bends backwards every time you take a step. Sound like fun to you?

Yeah, sorry

Didn’t mean to upset the Turf Toe sensitives, or belittle the struggle of those afflicted. It’s just a silly name for a serious injury.

It's not just painful

it’s toe-tuous. As was that pun.

turf toe - isn't that what Adrian Arrington had last season when he went on IR? UGH

Are you $%#@ kidding me?

and it seems

that the injuries are seeming to start to rack up. I think we have enough depth to get through some games without them but I’d really like to see a few of them back on the field. I’m talking about Jenkins mostly because I don’t know how severe Evan’s turf toe is nor do i really know what turf toe is. I mean, did he stub his toe on the turf or did he get a nasty cut on his toe that now has been infected with turf? i don’t like the name no matter what.

Superbowl bound!!!...I know! do you?! Go Saints!!
