saintsfan Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Just got the ESPN notification on my phone. I guess they don't think his groin will be right by playoffs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMG5 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Apparently he has a wrist injury as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dome Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Probably brought him back too early. Groin injuries are no joke. Not to be a Debbie Downer, but I smell a one and done in the playoffs. No MLB, No SS hybrid who is also your OLB, no TE, banged up O-line, d-line on it's last legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyler735 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Between this and Klein we can kiss our Super Bowl hopes goodbye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Payton leads a team with an 8 game win streak that doesn’t even sniff the post season, my god. We would NEED a new direction at that point.

Mid Iowa Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Well, on a bright note, we're bringing Sterling Moore back......................................................crickets............................................. Ooo, oooooo, maybe we'll bring D'Vante Harris back too!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWATcha Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 LOL, you guys crack me up sometimes. Every other team in the NFL is battling injuries as well. I don't think losing Vaccaro is that big of a blow. I think losing Klein and Okafor were bigger losses than Vaccaro. Bush is better than people give him credit for, so I think him and Bell can fill in for Vaccaro just fine. 19 minutes ago, Mid Iowa said: Well, on a bright note, we're bringing Sterling Moore back Moore actually played pretty good on spot duty. He's no star, but I think he'll be solid enough on nickel/dime packages. Bigger question for Vaccaro is, will he be back as a Saint next year? How will this trip to IR affect his value?

saintsfan Posted December 22, 2017 Author Share Posted December 22, 2017 If our defense plays well and we don't go one and done in the playoffs, I see Vaccaro being allowed to test the market. If someone else wants to overpay I see us letting him walk, if he can't fetch a big payday I see him returning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've remarked a few times this year how slow he looks, and he doesn't look great in coverage. He might do good work around the line of scrimmage, but that's just isn't that important these days. We don't need another Roman Harper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean no team in the NFCS is safe yet, it's just been a very competitive year in our conference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammymvpknight Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Vaccaro just feels like a guy who will become an pro bowler elsewhere. But the truth is that here and now he is a luxury. Bell and Williams are probably better pure safeties. Vaccaro is quite good in man to man coverage against the slot and TE...but ideally we’d finally get a real SAM.

Vaccaro's problem has always been his motor and his inconsistencies. Even if he went to another team, he won't suddenly be that high motor guy that hustles 24/7, and I think it's that lack of balls to the wall mentality that then leads to the inconsistencies.
