Sorry to hear it. Torn ACL. Another old friend joins the Saints in Kyle Eckel.

He was really having a good year - a few touchdowns, on the field quite a bit... too bad it has to end early.
One for old Heath.
As someone who watches every Saints' game, IMO he was the best fullback in football. They will miss him.
Threads like these are the reason I love to read this forum and have for a while now. I know every fan base has "idiot" fans, but the Patriots fans that I've had dealings with have been nothing short of classy folks. They remind me of Saints fans, honestly.
Heath was an important cog in our running game and a great safety valve for Drew, replacing him will not be easy. Hopefully this Eckel kid can come in and at least give us the smart blocking that we expected from Heath.
Heath is just a good guy who deserves better! He'll be back next year though! GEAUX SAINTS!
