Saints: Who could stay and who could go - Offensive Line
Saints: Who could stay and who could go - Offensive Line | wwltv.com New Orleans
Offensive Line Tackles: Jermon Bushrod, Zach Strief, Pat McQuistan, Charles Brown Guards: Carl Nicks, Jahri Evans, Eric Olsen Centers: Brian de la Puente, Matt Tennant Bushrod: For the first time in his career, Jermon Bushrod earned a Pro Bowl berth. The key for him is following it up with another standout season. He signed a two-year contract prior to 2011 and will be in a contract year. Bushrod shut down tons of talent this past season and, if we were the Saints, we’d figure out a way to extend him now because his negotiations could get messy. Bushrod returns in 2012. |

Not that big on giving Bushrod a big contract. Elite DE's treated him like a $2 hooker for the last 3 years. Most of Brees' hurries came from his side. And.....sorry to say this, but Bushrod rode the "Brees" to the Pro Bowl much like a previous LT we once had. Just saying.....I'd much rather put that money in tha hands of Carl Nicks, Brian De La Puente, & Zach Strief.

We could do worse than Bushrod, and we'd have to pay a ton of money to do better. I'd say he's a B-minus LT in this league. |

While I agree that Bushrod did a good job this past season - much better than I expected him to do - he would be exposed if the Saints were to lose Nicks, because having that type of a guard playing next to you will make any tackle appear better than what the reality is.

Charles Brown, going into his third season, should be seen by an urologist and examined for a pair...
Good Gosh, scouts claimed you have 1 Round Talent, WTH? |
