He also handled Mario Williams in the preseason. Streif and Nicks are monsters...just worried about fast edge rushers but Brown may not have been able to move out on them either this year.

Re: Saints put LT BRown on IR

Losing Brown is certainly a blow, but I'm with Deuce. While Bushrod and Strief aren't on the same level with Brown, I think they can do an adequate enough job that our offense can maintain what we're currently doing. With Strief now completely healthy, we can have a solid rotation between the two so that neither wears down towards the end of the season... which would be my biggest concern.

Now while a couple my view Bushrod as "terrible" (just like Goodwin *cough*) and Strief as a solid backup, as of right now, we still have the number one offense in the league. Not only are we passing the ball with great efficiency, our rushing attack currently is one of the league's best. Pretty good for a line who a couple may view as far inferior to the likes of New England and Indy.

Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.

All little common sense goes a long way.

Heck, just keep putting Strief into the game as a TE and line him up on the left side next to Bushrod.

Which is working beautifully, by the way!

Belichick and the interchangeable parts program. Build the team like the best in the business and they will respond. Busrod and Streif will work out. Worried about the depth now, but, run baby run...

offensive tackles arent interchangeable....a good offensive line makes skill players interchangeable but not the other way around

the pats offensive line has been the most consistant piece of their team throughout the years....dont confuse their team with our team

we have not yet created that kind of stability

Aren't you the guy who thought Aaron Stecker was a really good running back?

Haha I'm just messing with you Canton...

But seriously, Bushrod has played very well. He's not Jamaal Brown, but he's damn close according to the first few games of this season.

Re: Saints put LT BRown on IR

I can not stand it any more! the left tackle issue! I have been waiting for this! No I wont do it

Considering Bushrod has played in three games at LT I would grade him out as not bad. But i would keep assigning back up help on the left side. watch the RB on passing plays. Their first check down is almost always to Bushrods side.

Marques Douglas and Vernon Gholston are on tabs for next week. They do not worry too much.

David Harris worries me! splitting the gap. He has blitzing like crazy this year.

Re: Saints put LT BRown on IR

I don't see where there is much that can be done now. Brown is on IR and can't come back this season, so they have to go with Bushrod. I just hope he is healthy because he had to come out of the game last week.
