September 2009 ArchivesJermon Bushrod said in the locker room on Wednesday that he was likely out for Sunday's game against the Jets. That means Zach Strief will get the start at left tackle. With Bushrod out, there's no one on the roster set as a true backup at tackle. Strief said he would expect Jamar Nesbit to be that guy since he has played every position. Bushrod sprained his ankle for the second time when he twisted it against Buffalo.<...
It's hump day for most of us in the working world but for the Saints, it's really just the beginning of the week. They'll begin putting in the game plan for Sunday's game against the Jets today.

It's another exciting day here at the EOSB. I've realized yet another way to give the fans and readers more information. From here on out, on Monday's after Sunday games and Tuesday's after Monday games I'll put up a list of where the Saints rank in certain categories. Some will be there every week and others I'll put up if I find them interesting. ...
Good morning wonderful EOSB followers. I apologize for a few days of no linkage. Long story. It involves mountains, surly gold miners and wild moose. Anyway, we're back for another big week of linkage. The Saints are undefeated. The Jets are undefeated. We're all undefeated (EOSB readers never lose). But what's out there about Sunday's big 27-7 win over Buffalo? Grab your beignets and chicory and let's get after it. ...Pat Yasinskas of ESPN may be jumping the gun a bit, but he says the Saints have a top 10 defense. If this is true...watch out. ...CBS' Pete Prisco says that even without a Super Bowl title, Drew Brees is the equal of Manning and Brady. He has several NFL experts who echo that thought and a quote from Brees himself where he doesn't downplay the comparisons. ...

The Saints are 2-0, lead the NFL in offense, have won by 18 and 26 points and are beginning to get noticed nationally. But how'd they get there? Let's look at some of how it all happened as we peer into the future at the Bills game on Sunday. ...

Welcome back, quirky and delightful EOSB readers. If you caught that game on Sunday, you're likely in a good mood. The Saints' put up 48 points against Philly of which 41 came on offense and held the Eagles to 22 points. Another outstanding performance that coaches will tell you was littered with errors. Right. Whatever. It's Monday. It's morning. It's time for beignets and chicory. Let's get to it. ...It was meant as a compliment, and through two games, it pretty much says it all - Drew Brees is an animal. You can have your Peyton Mannings and Tom Brady, I don't think anyone would trade any current QB for Drew Brees - at the moment. ...Despite rolling to two big wins, ESPN's John Clayton thinks the Saints can get better - on OFFENSE!. Not sure I agree...anyway, Clayton does put all little damper on things by correctly pointing out that the Saints have faced two green QB's in Stafford and Kolb. ...Andrew Perloff of CNNSI says it's not likely that Drew Brees will break season passing records owned by Tom Brady or Dan Marino, because the Saints are too good and too balanced to allow him to get those kinds of numbers, despite his fast start. ...A chilling story by Michael Silver of Yahoo! Sports about ex-Saint Kyle Turley and what he believes are the scary effects of head injuries and concussions he received while playing pro football.

Welcome to the first (and hopefully not last) session of The Open Locker Room, where I'll post various quotes from various players. But first, Wednesday's Injury Report -- Jammal Brown (hip) did not participate; Darnell Dinkins (foot) did not practice; Jermon Bushrod (ankle) did not practice; Kendrick Clancy (knee) did not practice; Tracy Porter (knee) did not practice; Jeremy Shockey (ankle) did not practice; Pierre Thomas (k... No surprise really. After rushing for 143 yards on 28 carries, Mike Bell is a hot commodity on fantasy lists. That's especially so with Pierre Thomas' uncertain status and Reggie Bush's struggles running inside. ...

But we're here for an afternoon lunch and drink of a roast beef po boy, Barq's root beer and Saints stories. ...RB Pierre Thomas was dressed but did not participate during Thursday's practice, Head Coach Sean Payton said following practice. Thomas has missed practice since spraining his right MCL against Houston on Aug. 22. At his locker on Wednesday he said he was waiting on getting a knee brace to help stabilize the knee before he could go fully. He said he was about 75-80 percent to being fully healthy on Wednesday. "I was ho... The injured list is slowly dwindling for the Saints, but the disturbing one that continues to stick around is that RB Pierre Thomas remains sidelined with a right knee injury.
