In my opinion, the only thing that made the Saints decision to let Jamaal Brown go look good, was the fact that he couldn't stay healthy. I think they saw that coming. But some people in here make it sound like Bushrod took over and played just as well as Brown, in his prime. He wasn't that good. He was serviceable, and needed a lot of help. We'll now replace him with the most serviceable OT we can afford, or possibly draft.

Look on our roster and tell me who any one of you see as remotely reliable? We are in a far worse situation at OT now than we were when Jamaal left. This "next man up" hoopla is foolishness. The Saints will definitely bring in someone. There isn't a next man up on this team.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.

All I can say is that I wish him all the best in trying to keep Cutler healthy, haha.
For real though, next time JC goes down, they're gonna point the finger at their overpaid tackle in the Windy City.

IDK, Kromer might be able to get that O-line to play a lot better than it has in the recent seasons, and he can probably find ways to better compliment Cutler's way of playing.

Best of luck to him in Chicago. Maybe I'll root for them when they play the Packers and Vikings.

It is what it is at this point. We may just miss him!

I am sad to see Bushy go, but I think a lot of his success was due to the different schemes we ran, as well as Drew's ability to get rid of the ball. I don't think he is an elite tackle. Sometimes the system and the protection schemes mask weakness. Maybe I am wrong, but I feel like he can be replaced. Hope I am right
