I thought Doucet's earlier injury was a groin. Now a hammy. Those are different muscle pulls. Are we sure it's the same injury? I remember Stallworth was always pulling muscles. Got to get Doucet to a trainer to help him continually stretch.
More practice updates: • Fullbacks Jacob Hester of LSU and Peyton Hillis of Arkansas are both going to make the teams that draft them very happy in the long run. Hester and Hillis are tough, versatile players who are reliable in all areas. They can carry the football and punish a defense, both are reliable receiving options and each has the ability to contribute immediately on just about every phase in special teams. In time, Hester and Hillis could also be among the better pass blockers in the league and both are acceptable run blockers, although this is neither player's forte. They are aggressive and want to win. Hester has quicker feet, but Hillis has a much better body and overall strength. There is a lot to like about both players, especially when the bullets start flying for real. saints potential draft pick still rolling: (not sure what school he went to) • DT Sedrick Ellis continues his onslaught against offensive lineman. Scouts knew coming in that Ellis possesses the strength and anchor to get plenty of push on blockers, but what impressed them on Thursday was his quickness off the ball. That combination of power and quickness helped Ellis dominate during the one-on-one period. He was able to beat Northern Iowa G Chad Rinehart by getting into Rinehart right off the snap, then staying low and driving him back into the pocket. Ellis has been consistent the entire week and has proven to scouts he can be a force in the middle at the next level.
Hester will be playing on Sundays, is there really any doubt? My question now is, will GD participate in the combines?
