RB Mark Ingram, LB Will Herring Placed on IR New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram and linebacker Will Herring have been placed on season-ending injured reserve. Ingram, who won the 2009 Heisman Trophy at Alabama, missed New Orleans¡¯ last four games because of a sprained toe on his left foot. Coach Sean Payton says the injury got worse during practice last week. Ingram carried 122 times for 474 yards and five touchdowns this season. His longest run was a 35-yard touchdown against the New York Giants on Nov. 28. Herring hobbled off the field favoring his right knee against Carolina last Sunday and Payton says the linebacker has a sprained medial collateral ligament. Herring, a reserve, was credited with five tackles on defense and four on special teams. Herring sustained a sprained MCL during the regular season finale. A free agent addition after the lockout, the former Seattle Seahawks linebacker had nine tackles, four on special teams, and an interception in his first season with the Saints. The New Orleans Saints ?are expected to add linebacker Nate Bussey from the practice squad, with offensive guard/center Eric Olsen being signed off the Washington Redskins¡¯ practice squad. To replace Ingram and Herring . Olsen was offered a ¡°Reserve/Futures¡± contract by the Redskins, but chose instead to join the Saints¡¯ 53-man roster for the post-season and likely beyond.

Ingram, who won the 2009 Heisman Trophy at Alabama, missed New Orleans¡¯ last four games because of a sprained toe on his left foot. Coach Sean Payton says the injury got worse during ?practice last week. The New Orleans Saints traded back into the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft to select the former Heisman Trophy winner from the University of Alabama.

His longest run was a 35-yard touchdown against the New York Giants on Nov. 28. Jeff Duncan of the New Orleans Times-Picayune, in response to being asked on twitter if he thinks wide receiver Lance Moore (hamstring) will play this weekend, replied, ¡°Strictly a guess but¡No.¡± The 28-year-old Moore re-aggravated the hamstring injury in Week 16 against the Atlanta Falcons after catching just two passes for 53 yards. On the season, Moore hauled in 52 passes for 627 yards and eight touchdowns on 73 targets in 14 appearances.

Tebow ready against the Steelers,John Elway has advice him Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow and the Broncos are getting ready for Sunday's wild-card playoff game at home vs. Pittsburgh. Tebow knows he'll have to contend with a talented Steeler defense, including Troy Polamalu. Tim Tebow responded to the team¡¯s Executive Vice President John Elway¡¯s comments that the young QB ¡°pull the trigger¡± in Sunday¡¯s play-off game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. On Wednesday, Tebow said he has to be more aggressive and acknowledged "there's a few opportunities I should have tried to force it in there, especially later in the game." John Elway told a Denver Broncos Post columnist Tebow just needs to "put everything behind him, go through his progressions and pull the trigger." He wants to see more aggression from Tim Tebow. John Fox wants to see more accuracy. They trust he can deliver on both counts Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers (12-4) and the league's top-ranked defense. Having won the Denver Broncos' starting job and the AFC West title by default, Tebow heads into his first playoff game mired in the worst slump of his career . And Fox acknowledged the coaches need to call safer, shorter passes early on to build up the young quarterback's confidence.

debbyjiang,
With do respect, I enjoy football conversation. You posted today about Tebow playing the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday in his first playoff game. Unless I'm in the twilight zone , the Broncos and Tebow already beat the Steelers.
Be Well Dan
PS... You are welcome to post but put it under the right thread

Was there a connection between Jim Bridger and Mich Bouyer ? I have read several times that there was. In "The Cheyenne Wars" by Millard, it is said that Bouyer was Bridger`s (quote) pupil. So I assume there was, without having gone into the details. All the best, Noggy

Thanks for the information which indicates Bouyer (1837 - 1876) was a “pupil” of Bridger (1804 - 1881). I had only managed to find the following reference - “General John Gibbon called him "next to Jim Bridger, the best guide in the country".
The Collins map of 1862 is attributed to Bridger. The map shows in quite surprising detail - to me anyway - Yellowstone, Big Horn and a sizeable surrounding area. Indeed it would appear that Bridger knew the “Custer” area very well and that’s not surprising bearing in mind his Bozeman connection and his Bozeman bypass route. (Another thing that caught my attention is the Bozeman route appears to have crossed the 1876 7th Cavalry route immediately before the fateful day ?)
Hundreds, if not thousands, probably took their chances travelling through the area in both directions well before Custer. In other words I have always had the wrong view in that lbh was the dark side of the moon, only known to a few indigenous people. My mistake !
Getting back to the map I suspect the complete version was well known to Bridger by 1860. I’m going to assume that the work required to explore and map the area lasted on and off about five to ten years. I therefore suspect that Bridger was knee deep in the area sometime between 1850 - 1860. At that time Bouyer was late teens to early twenties, the ideal “pupil” age. There then exists the tantalising possibility that Bouyer experienced at first hand Bridger’s exploration of the area and, if not, he would have benefited directly from the man himself not long after or during the mapping of the area.
I accept that there are many with a great knowledge on the subject but there’s something about the nature of the Frontiersman, their unpredictable and seemingly varied life. Couple that with time, place and lack of direct written material on their part there could be surprising gaps which,if entertained, could add a more human understanding of decision making and consequently of character.
So I may be off at a tangent here but what does this mean to me regarding 1876 when Bridger and Bouyer are factored in to the equation ?
Big village. Was that from Bouyer suggesting Custer was listening ? A respected and valued statement ?
As Reno headed off to the village Custer knew, more or less, the land ahead and how much of that land he would need to travel. The crossing at B never happened and was never meant to happen. It was a detour in the known distance already conveyed to Custer by those who knew or understood.
The complete village was initially not completely visible hence the move was always skirting towards higher ground, Calhoun and so on. That seems militarily sensible but also now maybe a suggestion of caution. An indication or part acceptance of Bouyer’s concern ?
Ford D was a given and a guaranteed crossing point. If it was not specifically known it was no more than a 2+2 given.
Maybe Custer just had too much quality information on the day and failed to understand his limits. Just got too big for his boots.
Does anyone know if Jim Bridger ever gave an opinion on the Battle of Little Big Horn ?
B ps I tried unsuccessfully to attach the Bridger/Collins map but it didn’t turn out as I hoped. It’s googlable however the resolution not too good.

Hi Brenda The map to which you refer would have been all but useless except in very general terms. Using horses as a means of measurment is problematic at the best of times and stars for direction well...... Best to all. Richard
