Saints Add Offensive Line Depth
this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Seven year veteran guard/tackle Chris Reed has started 30 games and played in 70. He spent his last two years with the Vikings. Twitter I doubt this is the last move we'll be making....

Re: Saints Add Offensive Line Depth
Shane Lemieux played extensively at center during the preseason, I believe.

Re: Saints Add Offensive Line Depth
With ‘thin’ free agent market, Saints opt for internal replacement after McCoy lands on IR
From article above ... By adding Lemieux to the 53-man roster, the Saints signaled they're willing to attempt to replace McCoy internally rather than bring someone off the street to play center. Part of that rationale may be because of the lack of options available. New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis called the free agent market for offensive linemen "pretty thin" in a recent radio interview with WWL. "There was a number of offensive line injuries, not just this last weekend, but in the prior two weekends," Loomis said. "That pool of players has been depleted." ----------------------------------------------- This jives with what I have been hearing. In an already thin offensive line talent pool, the rash of injuries to OL's across the entire league has resulted in a historic shortage of quality replacements. |

Re: Saints Add Offensive Line Depth
The defense is going to have to continue to make plays.

Re: Saints Add Offensive Line Depth
The defense will have to win the game against Atlanta. It will be tough to match the turnovers they had last week but we will need them to win. With our offensive line depleted we're going to have a tough time running the ball. I hope Kubiak has got something special in mind for Atlanta.
