Safety Chris Reis Placed on IR, Season Over

PrintNot very long after learning about Tracy Porter's sprained MCL, which will cause him to miss 2-4 weeks, we have now found out that safety Chris Reis is done for the year after needing season-ending shoulder surgery.
Mike Triplett from the Times-Pic again has the source and the story yet again, so good work there...
The exact injury was not specified, but it will require surgery
This sucks because not only are the Saints really thin right now at safety already but Reis was also a huge contributor on special teams.
Here is a quick look at the current Saints safety's. Warning: It's ugly.
Chris Reis (IR - Out for year)
Darren Sharper (Out for 2 weeks)
Roman Harper (Hamstring)
Pierson Prioleau (Chest)
Sean Payton said he expects to bring in some guys for workouts tomorrow.
**Props to HansDat for being the first to get this out to everyone.**

Tyrone Carter-DB- Redskins Sep. 4 – 1:41 pm et Redskins released S Tyrone Carter. 34, was added a couple weeks ago when Kareem Moore (knee) went down. It’s likely that the Redskins found out Carter’s gas tank is on empty.
Tyrone Carter-DB – Redskins Jan. 27 – 2:44 pm et The Steelers are not expected to retain free agent S Tyrone Carter. Carter can still play special teams, but was obviously stretched as an 11-game starter at strong safety last season. The 5’9/195-pound 34-year-old is unlikely to get more than a one-year, minimum deal on the open market.He makes Michael Lewis look like a real find.

Well he’s available too. 49ers just cut him for being an idiot
for throwing a temper tantrum over losing his staring spotjust to get him out of the locker room.
Not that I’m saying I want him. But he’s available.
Blaine Bishop’s available. Sure, he’s 40 years old and has been out of football for eight years …

Michael Lewis-DB- 49ers Oct. 4 – 6:56 pm et
49ers released SS Michael Lewis.
Rookie Taylor Mays will close out the year as San Francisco’s starting strong safety, with Reggie Smith as No. 3, behind also FS Dashon Goldson. Lewis, 30, will appeal only to teams willing to use a coverage-deficient DB in the back end. The former Eagle was also missing a lot of tackles early on.
Michael Lewis-DB – 49ers Oct. 4 – 6:08 pm et 49ers have reportedly decided to grant SS Michael Lewis his release, with the transaction scheduled for Tuesday. Lewis requested the move after being benched for Taylor Mays prior to Week 4. Lewis has a limited skill set as purely an “in the box” safety. The 30-year-old would be a candidate for a minimum-salary deal in free agency. Lewis’ poor run support has cost him his job, with youngsters Taylor Mays and Reggie Smith taking over.Probably better than Roman Harper though, right CP?? Right??

Why don’t the Saints try putting Arnoux in instead of Shanle?
by Ezio_Auditore on Oct 4, 2010 10:45 PM CDT up reply actions
Shanle has pictures of Gdub in compromising positions
rotoworld.com:
Stanley Arnoux-LB- Saints Sep. 5 – 11:09 am et According to Brad Biggs of the National Football Post, Saints LB Stanley Arnoux is an “ideal fit at weak side.” With WLB Jonathan Casillas placed on injured reserve Saturday, the defending champions need Arnoux to play a predominant role on the defense. If the team chooses to keep Scott Shanle on the strong side, Arnoux and Jo-Lunn Dunbar will compete for playing time on the weak side.

So I like the idea of playing to FSs in the game.
Jenkins and Young. Young played well during the game and could get us through for a few games. In the mean time just sign a couple back up players
Superbowl bound!!!...I know! do you?! Go Saints!!
He seems to do great on CB blitzes
maybe use him in run support and blitzing?

I'd rather send Jenkins for that stuff
I like the idea of having two FSs on the field at the same time. Both could cover a TE/RB and we could blitz more with man to man and maybe 1 FS to help Gay’s side of the field more. I think there are alot of things you could do like that

Why so many injuries?

"It's better to burn out than fade away."
I didn't even realize they waived Leigh Torrence, but he could work for a few weeks
maybe in the nickel. A little scary if both he and Gay are out there together as far as tackling is concerned.
I still say Michael Lewis is our best best for 2-3 weeks.

John Busing-DB- Giants Sep. 4 – 10:17 am et
Giants waived S John Busing. He only contributes on special teams, which made his odds of lasting very long considering the Giants’ recent injuries at the safety position.

Ken Hamlin is as reliable and steady as they come- he would have been a goood fit. we missed that one.
"I think we agree, the past is over" - George W Bush
"The greatest enemy of knowlege is not ignorance; it is the illusion of knowledge" Stephen Hawking
We could probably get him for a low round draft pick, considering the Ravens just released him and brought him back. Or sell high on Lance Moore, since we’re likely to lose him in free agency at the end of the season anyway. Not saying Baltimore needs another WR, but I’m sure someone with a spare DB would bite on that.
"I was not on the boat in question" -Darren Sharper
I'm not ready to release Moore-especially for Hamlin- we're not that desperate
Hamlin is not THAT awesome, and I think there are some alternatives available, and it’s only temporary since Harper, Sharper, and Prioleau will be back. But we need somebody.
"I think we agree, the past is over" - George W Bush
"The greatest enemy of knowlege is not ignorance; it is the illusion of knowledge" Stephen Hawking
Harper, Sharper, Young, Prioleau and Jenkins. We typically only keep four safeties to begin with. Six was a bit overkill, imho. It does temporarily cut down on our flexibility with Jenkins as the go-between at CB, but if you think of him as the 5th (lagniappe), then we’re still ahead of the curve, at least in terms of a head count. I still think there are better pure safeties out there.

The Rhodes Scholar?
Character wise you can’t get any better than him.
“During his final football season at Florida State, Rolle was team’s third-leading tackler, an Associated Press third-team all-American and a finalist for the Lott Trophy defensive player of the year award, which, according to its website, gives “equal weight to personal character as well as athletic performance.”
He also was only second-team all-Atlantic Coast Conference, and he finished his three-year college career with one interception."

Myron Rolle-DB – Titans Sep. 4 – 1:22 pm et Titans waived S Myron Rolle. It will be interesting to see if the Rhodes Scholar clears waivers. He was originally projected as an early-round pick before turning forty times in the 4.6 – 4.8 range at the Combine. We’re betting he goes unclaimed.

TOTAL BS
That kid is amazing. He took advantage of a brilliant opportunity and never missed a beat training. Anyone with that much self control and dedication is a perfect addition to a team. He might need to work on his speed but you put him up to any challenge and I guarantee he doesn’t back down.
“I sacrificed a lot in my Rhodes scholarship experience to stay in shape, make sure I was ready and pride myself for this exact moment,” Rolle said Saturday after the Tennessee Titans grabbed him with the final pick in the sixth round.
“Where my classmates were drinking at the pubs at 1:30 in the morning or traveling to different parts of the EU, I was working out, training, going to sleep, resting my body, making sure I was ready to compete. I love this game. I love this sport, and I want it to be my vocation for the next 10 years.”
The 6-foot-2, 215-pound Rolle finished his undergraduate degree in pre-med in 2½ years, then took off from football in 2009 to study in Oxford. He entered the draft and waited to hear his name until the Titans called and used the 207th pick overall on him.
Rolle noted his strength coach, Tom Shaw, gave him a two-hour workout that he and his brother followed six days a week between 6 a.m. and 8 a.m. to keep himself in shape. He also worked with a rugby team and returned in mid-December to start preparing for his return to football at the Senior Bowl in January and the NFL Combine in February.
He said he listened to the advice of former Rhodes scholars and top athletes like Hall of Fame basketball player Bill Bradley not to eat or drink too much while in Oxford."

Yes, but he would have to clear waivers and odds are Tennessee would reclaim him.
