Considering the draft capitol spent on the offensive line the way they performed was inexcusable. It almost looked purposeful.

Re: MORE MUSINGS FROM THE NEGATIVE

I can understand how some will point at injuries as the prime culprit in underperformance, but every team in the league gets bit by the injury bug and still finds ways to overcome the adversity and win! (Especially against weak teams!) If our injuries are substantially more than other teams, then don't you think the team needs to carefully analyze the types of injuries that are occurring and look at how they're preparing? (I'm looking at the position and conditioning coaches here.)
The excuse/reason of 'well, there were injuries', however true, rings hollow after several seasons of the same.

Injuries to the offensive line have the same effect on all teams. Those that are the most successful are almost always the healthiest. Most teams can overcome the loss of one lineman, but two, three, or even four you can write 'em off.

A little Public Service Announcement here:

Instructions on setting a member to "ignore"

Click on user's name (example sinner guy)

Click on "View Public Profile"

Click on "User Lists"

Click on "Add to Ignore List"

At "Are you sure you want to add sinner guy to your ignore list?" click on "Yes"

Tada! The annoying presence is mostly gone unless quoted by someone else. Then again, if everyone set to ignore there won't be anyone to quote said annoyance.

We return you to your regular programming ...

Breaking News! The Earth has just pivoted on it's axis! Crap!

+1.

What's even more frustrating is that the 2023 Saints were relatively healthy the majority of the season. Injuries are part of this brutal sport.

Find better depth (see Niners, Dallas, Detroit, Rams) because a starter will go down. I'd move on from players (depth pieces) like Baun, Garcia & James Hurst.

Hopefully Klint has a solid plan on offense in 2024.

Same.
63-79 as a starter in Oakland/LV.

9-8 in New Orleans.

10 years in, I think it's safe to say his body of work is mediocre at best.

We definitely need better depth on the O line because our third stringer will be a starter at some point. Move on from Hurst. He was adequate a few years back but he's a weak link now and we can do better.

That, my friend, is easier said than done. More than half the teams in the league would love to have a Hurst on their roster.

Some would argue that the 49er's took a deadly hit via injury to Greenlaw in the Super Bowl. They didn't have the depth to replace him. I believe they were up by 10 when he went down.
