Saints | McAllister's rehab going well
Fri, 3 Feb 2006 05:50:04 -0800

Sheldon Mickles, of the Advocate, reports New Orleans Saints RB Deuce McAllister (knee) said he's about two weeks ahead of schedule in his rehab from knee surgery and expects to be at full speed by the start of training camp in late July. McAllister looked fit and trim, right at his playing weight of 235 pounds. "I've been doing good," said McAllister, who became the franchise's all-time rushing leader three weeks before his right foot got caught in the turf at Lambeau Field and he went down without being hit. "I've been working out and was released to start jogging three weeks ago." McAllister will visit with his doctor in April and if all goes well, McAllister will likely be allowed to begin doing some football-related drills.

He sounds really dedicated to returning this season and EARNING his contract extension. Deuce takes too much pride in himself to give up and not give it his all...look for a bounce back year in a big way.

New head coach, Deuce coming back from a bad injury, doesnt bode well for next season. May also make him a value pick in the 06 draft.

Thanks for the update

he would have to be my #3 or #4 running back via the draft though...no way i would rely on him as one of my starters w/o seeing how that knees gonna hold up

I think he is a great value in the 3rd, you might get a top 5 back. He is a huge risk though. We'll have to see how he progresses.

[chaindog35]

i think he's a good pick late 3rd early 4th as long as you plan on him not doing well for the 1st half of the season.

[Gnu314]

I personally won't touch him before round 5.

if my draft somehow ended up lookin like this:
1st round - shaun alexander
2nd round - mcgahee
3rd round - gates
4th round - m.harrison
-------i'd consider taking him here...CONSIDER

[GreatestShowOnEarth]

im not going to touch him in the early rounds. A player doesnt just come back 100 percent the next year after a major knee injury. There are also concerns about the QB situation and a new head coach, not to mention the problems that the franchise as a whole is having.

You'd be a fool not too. It's not like that will ever happen unless you are playing in a league of kindergarden kids though.

[louisianacajunsam]

you kiddin? 10 team league...so alexander is a projected #1 or #2 pick overall, mcgahee will prolly go in the 2nd, gates prolly in the third, and harrison most likely in the fourth (maybe third but prob not)....so i wouldnt consider that kindergartners..id just have to be lucky to get one of the top few picks to get alexander
