Seemed to play very solid at LT when he came in for Brown...

I may be wrong, because I haven't seen all the plays, but it seems like the big guy is capable of playing at a pretty high level. Obviously he's not an All-Pro, but I think we'll be fine if Jammal has to miss a few games...

And to those concerned about Jeff Faine, I'm sure it had something to do with rust. A guy doesn't forget how to play from one year to the next. He was a stud last season, and I'm sure he'll be fine next week and beyond.

Ever since the Tampa Bay game last year when he held Simeon Rice sack-less he has held his own. I like him, he's very physical at the point of attack and quick enough to handle those speed rushers, he just needs a little experience, but he's still a pretty good one.

gonna need him to show up this weekend against one of the best front 4s in the league

Actually that side was noticeable bad on pass rushing. There were at least 2 man on man bull rushes and right though our O-lineman at Bree's.

Even though Brees were able to get rid of the ball at times he was hit immediately and treated like a rag doll. That seriously will take an effect on you.
